180-minute written exam, lab reports

[updated 12.09.2004]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

MAM-9.V.1 Engineering and Management, Master, ASPO 01.10.2004 , semester 9, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
120 class hours (= 90 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 300 hours (equivalent to 10 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 210 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended knowledge:
Bachelor’s degree

[updated 14.08.2012]
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Horst Altgeld
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Horst Altgeld

Learning outcomes:
After completing this course, students will:
- be able to assess building energy supply solutions (passive and active heating and cooling solutions and building air-conditioning systems)
- be able to combine their knowledge of existing systems solutions with methods of efficient energy use in industrial, commercial and building applications.
- have learned how to perform energy needs analyses for buildings
- be acquainted with the components and operating principles of heating, air-conditioning and ventilation systems
- have practical experience of dealing with special technical problems affecting real systems (lab exercises and, wherever possible, on-site inspections)
