| Summary |
|---|
The course introduces students to the emerging field of comprehensive control of building operational technical functions. Students will learn about control technologies for commercial, residential, and industrial buildings. The course is designed primarily for students aiming for careers in investment construction, design, innovation, and in the maintenance, renovation, and new construction of large industrial and public facility buildings. It is also suitable for students interested in the "Smart Home" field.
Theoretical knowledge gained in the course is complemented by field trips providing practical demonstrations of building automation. A minimum prerequisite for the course is computer literacy (PC proficiency). Laboratories are equipped with workstations featuring technologies used for building automation; multimedia teaching aids and software tools for design support are utilized. Within the course, students can obtain the KNX Partner certificate according to the conditions of the KNX Association.
The student is assessed based on a semester project (school project), a final test, and possibly an oral exam. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| To familiarize students with technological systems designed for controlling building operational technical functions and with software for building automation. The graduate will be able to assess technological equipment for building operation control for both renovation and new construction projects. They will be able to design and select appropriate technical devices for individual building automation systems. |
