The course will cover the fundamentals of thermodynamics as it relates to heat transfer calculations, psychrometrics, and fenestration. In addition, this course will examine sound and vibration control theory, hydraulic and pneumatic systems theory and design, building control theory and control system types.
During this course the student will be required to demonstrate heating and cooling load calculations for a commercial building as well as determining heating and cooling loads due to ambient air conditions via psychrometric calculations. The student will be required to design a hydraulic system, calculate acoustic values for ductwork and fan systems.
Prerequisite: EDDT 182, MATH 154, PHYS 151, PHYS 161; Admission to the Engineering Design and Drafting Technology program
