Objetivos
It is aim of this course unit is to give students the necessary knowledge to understand how the building automation and control systems (BMS) work.
The objective of this course is that the students get to know the legal requirements about the existing technical systems in buildings, in particular about the building automation and control systems (BMS) that must be included and which are the Decree-Laws, the ordinances and the regulations that impose those requirements.
To give students basic knowledge about describing automatic control systems by means of block diagrams and knowledge about the most frequently used types of controllers.
To give students at least one tool for describing sequential systems.
It is also the aim of this course that students get a notion of the parts that should compose a project of a centralised technical management system.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
It is intended that the students, after having attended this curricular unit, will be able to
-- Know the principles of operation and how to use the main sensors used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems and other types of energy systems.
-- Know the basic concepts of automatic control with and without feedback and the main types of control actions. Know how to apply those concepts and actions to describe and design control systems in energy applications in buildings and industry.
-- Know the functionalities of technical management and supervisory systems in buildings and in process industries and know the requirements on control systems and technical management required for energy efficiency classification of buildings.
-- Recognise sequential automation and the most used technologies to achieve it. Describe the operation of an automation system.
-- Know the capabilities of the communication networks most used in building automation and technical management systems.
-- Know the parts that should compose a project of a centralised technical management system.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The classes are of theoretical and practical character, being exposed the subjects and proposed exercises to be solved by the students. Part of the proposed exercises must be solved at home by the students. Part of the classes is taught online and the other part face-to-face.
In addition to the theoretical-practical classes there are e-learning sessions that will serve to support the resolution of exercises as well as to clarify doubts about texts provided to students for independent study.

Obtenção de frequência
To obtain attendance, the student must obtain an average classification equal to or greater than 9.5 (out of 20).
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
The final mark (NF) will be composed of:Instrumentation and Measurement (IM) module mark: 34%.
Control and Technical Management (CGT) module grade: 66%.
The final grade will be the average of the scores obtained on two written tests.
These written tests will have IM and CGT questions graded in the proportion of 34% and 66% respectively to IM and CGT.
Grading to the UC can also be obtained by exam.
NF = 0.34*Mark_IM + 0.66*Mark_CGT
