Innhold

Most enterprises' operations still take place in buildings and properties, despite IT being developed to an extent that makes it possible and more common to be independent of a particular site and to carry out mobile work. There is also rapid development in area and energy efficient and 'smart' buildings, including building information models (BIM) and technical systems that contribute to more cost efficient and sustainable management, operation and maintenance (FDV) of buildings. This course provides basic understanding of buildings and their most important technical systems, and how buildings, area allocation, technical infrastructure and Facility Management can improve an organisation's focus and cost efficiency, along with its economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Arbeids- og undervisningsformer

The course will include lectures, hands-on exercises and discussion of literature. In addition, practical exercises are central to this course. Such exercises include the use of CyberRat software to conduct an experiment, and the employment of the results from this experiment to write a scientific article.
