Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
In this course, students will acquire the knowledge necessary to achieve both energy conservation and comfort. The students will investigate and present on the theme chosen, and deepen their understanding by asking questions about other students presentations. The contents of the lectures deals with social problems related to architecture environmental engineering and include themes of global environmental conservation, the use of new energy, etc.The students will understand how to achieve both comfort and energy saving, understand the architectural method, and perform steady-state forecast calculations.
Style:
Weeks 1-7 Lectures: Basic knowledge about the urban environment, thermal environment, humidity, air environment.
Understand air conditioning equipment and electrical equipment systems, and develop basic design skills.
Weeks 8-14:
Each student chooses a topic of interest among the building service learned at the previews week and makes a 5-minute presentation about that equipment. Adjust in the eighth week so that the topics do not overlap.
Notice:
To be resourceful on the way to present the topic studied, listen and make questions. The students will mutually deepen the knowledge acquired. This course requires 90 hours of self-study time to do preliminary reviews, reviews, and assignments. Students attendance is required, and only a maximum of 5 absences is excused.
