BūvZM017 [GBUVM017] Expluatation and Expertize of Building Engineering Systems

Course abstract

The most important engineering systems built into the building are inspected: power, heat, gas and water supply, sewerage, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, security and access systems, telecommunications, etc. systems and their integration into a common system and computer network. The latest computerized management software packages, their configurations and applicability to specific individual objects and buildings have been analyzed and compared. Residential, public, industrial, etc. an overview of the specific features of building functions, use and operation, analysis influence of specific factors.

Requirements for awarding credit points

Successfully passed exam. The student can take the exam when all practical tasks and 3 tests are fulfilled.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

After receiving a homework assignment, students should familiarize with the content of the assignment and the work plan. The construction drawings of the building should be examined to fully understand its structure and the division of premises. Get familiar with the legal literature and manuals needed for the job.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

Assessment of the operation of engineering systems in operation and the properties of their functioning. Developed understanding of the integration of external communication systems in an accessible and acceptable way for use on Internet. Understanding the characteristics of certain types of building engineering systems and understanding of the usability of different buildings.
