Course Outline: Environmental Control Systems III
Course introduction
It is the last course in the series of Environmental Control Systems. It takes into consideration
the advanced systems to achieve user comfort such as HVAC. In addition to this, it focuses on
efficient use of energy, renewability/sustainability and effective management of land, water and
energy resources.
Learning Objective:
In this course, Students will learn about basic envirnmental controls systems including
1. Air conditioning Systems
2. Heating Systems
3. Ventilation Systems
4. Renewable Systems
Outcome
Upon the successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:
• Devise mechanical control systems using estimated methods for sizing of ductsand other
components.
• Manage major mechanical system components in relation to other systemsinvolving
structure, enclosure, lighting, and fire safety.
• Apply the principles of ventilation (including natural ventilation,heat recovery, etc.)
• Practice understanding of concernsassociated to energy efficiency and renewableenergy
applications for hot climate buildings.
• Create architectural designs that incorporate mechanical systems withother building
systems (e.g., building envelop, lighting, structures) at the same time.
• Employ tools for the better management of land, water and energy resources.
Learning Methodology:
• Lectures as provided in the schedule of the semester activities
• Study of Archival Material and recommended books
• Guest Lectures as per requirement
• Presentation on allocated topics
