Lectures

Goal

To introduce students to the concept of intelligent buildings, technical systems in modern buildings and control systems technology and their integration.

Outcome

The acquired knowledge is used in engineering practice. The student is competent to understand the technical sub-systems in modern buildings, their configuration and mutual integration of electrical and mechanical systems and management concepts. Student is able to create ETS project and program KNX components. Student is able to make application schematics of HVAC system, to define signal list and define quote of sensors, actuators and controllers.

Theoretical teaching

The definition of intelligent buildings. Technological systems in intelligent buildings. Introduction to digital control systems: analog / digital input / output values, sensors, actuators, digital controllers. Control valves. Basic communication standards and their characteristics. Control algorithms and tuning. Management of central heating systems. Control of boilers. Control of substations. Outdoor temperature compensation. Central and zone control. Control in the solar system. Managing in the air conditioning. Typical control schemes of air conditioning. Cascade control. Secvential control. Regulation of air humidification. Control of air handling unit with variable flow. Lighting control systems. Lighting control system components, analog / digital control and lighting control strategies. Protection systems and solar radiation and control strategies. Measuring energy consumption. Fire protection systems. Access control systems. Building management systems. Application of Internet technology in control.

Practical teaching

Understanding the physical implementation of sensors, digital controllers and drivers. Understanding the physical implementation of control systems in buildings. Programming and networking of digital controllers. Realization of simple solutions.

Attendance requirement

Бasic automatic control knowledge and digital systems.
