General course objectives:
The objective of the course is to be able to understand different concepts of sustainable cooling and heating of buildings. You will be able to design and dimensioning all parts of a heating/cooling system (emission system, distribution system, storage system, generation system) and calculate energy performance for all type of buildings like residential, commercial and industrial.
Learning objectives:
- A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
- Design and dimension low temperature heat emission systems (floor heating, radiant heating etc. pumps, fans)
- Design and dimensioning a high temperatur cooling system (radiant surface cooling, chilled beams, etc)
- Select an appropriate heat generation and coolling system (boiler, heat pump, district heating/cooling, solar system, ground heat exchanger)
- Selection of control system
- Design and dimensioning a domestic hot water system
- Calculate yearly energy performance of heating/cooling systems according to EN standards and building simulation programs
- Describe the principles for energy storage
- Get an overall understanding of energy consumption in Buildings
Content:
- The course will include the basic concept of water based heating and cooling systems in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The course will focus on the use of low temperature heating and high temperature cooling systems combined with the use of renewable energy sources.
- The course deals with concepts for design, dimensioning, influence on the indoor environmnet and control of water based heating/cooling (floor, wall, ceiling)
- Control of the water based energy distribution system.
- The use of energy storage systems like water tanks, ground storage, phase change materials will also be included.
- The application of heat generation and cooling systems like
- Boiler (gas, oil), heat pump, district heating/cooling, solar system, chiller will include calculation of energy performance, control, dimensioning
- Concept of domestic hot water systems including production, dimensioning, circulation, energy performance, legionella.
- Besides the course deals with the overall relation between building and system and overall primary energy performance of building and heating/cooling system and optimisation for use of low temperature heating and high temperatur cooling systems and renewable energy sources
Remarks:
The course material consist of a REHVA guidebook (Low temperature heating - High temperature cooling) and lecture notes.
