Course Description
This course will address and expose the students to the main physical principles that form the bases of many building engineering systems and building technologies that influence performance and operation of buildings. The application of these principles has improved the quality of buildings and as a consequence, daily life. Students will learn about the principles and application of the laws of thermodynamics, heat flow and energy balances, along with the principles of hydraulics, fluid flow and their engineering applications in building systems. The fundamentals of heat transfer, solar energy utilization and the principles of radiant exchange and its impact on the luminous and thermal environment will also be presented.
