Summary
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the subject is to characterize the basic parts of buildings for electricity supply, energy gases, for heat supply including utility water. The content of the course includes basic knowledge for the design, operation and reconstruction of buildings for the supply of energy in particular residential and civil buildings. The default calculation methods for determining energy needs and the calculation procedure for dimensioning grids and objects are presented.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students should acquire basic knowledge and overview of the construction of energy such as buildings for the supply of electricity, gas and heat energy, a renewable energy and basic resources, as well as on the principles of calculating energy needs and the calculation of flow and pressure conditions of pipeline networks. Basic knowledge will acquire the construction, maintenance and reconstruction of power grid.
