Heating and air conditioning

Summary

The subject is focused on the theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of heating buildings. Attention is mainly devoted to the basic principles of calculating heat losses, the possibility of reducing heating costs, basic types of heat sources, possibilities of heating method - floor heating, radiant heating, infrared heating, hot air heating, the heating systems and air conditioning systems principles.
