Objetivos

Keep in mind and know how to consult the legislation, related to energy systems for air conditioning in buildings. Know the comfort conditions and the parameters that influence them. Identify the various types of HVAC systems, analyze their specificities and applications. Calculate the fundamental elements of an installation and choose the main air conditioning equipment. Know the fundamentals of maintenance, operation and commissioning of equipments.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

At the end of the course, students should be able to:
- identify the limits of the conditions of human comfort;
- find in the legislation the information they need regarding requirements for air conditioning equipment and systems, as well as the functions to be performed by each of the various recognised technicians;
- choosing and substantiating a choice of equipment or system for an installation;
- know how the systems and equipment operate;
- Design the main elements of a system.
