Summary

The course provides students with a comprehensive overview of technical infrastructure structures, including water supply, sewerage, electricity, gas, heat and telecommunication networks. Rainwater management in urbanized areas is also included. Students will learn the principles of design, construction and operation of these systems. The course also touches on the basic methodology of calculating water resource requirements for public and industrial supply, methods of wastewater treatment and the principles of efficient management of energy resources. It includes issues of line sizing, design of technical facilities and optimization of routing of individual infrastructure networks in urbanized environments. An important part is also the analysis of the connection between technical infrastructure and the environment, where students will learn about the impact of individual buildings on ecosystems and measures leading to sustainable development. Topics related to innovative solutions such as smart grids, the use of renewable energy sources and modern water management technologies will be discussed.
