Focusing on the practical and methodological aspects, the course analyses all aspects relating to the design of systems serving civil buildings, guiding the student in the preparation of a complete thermotechnical project.
The students are involved in the design of different types of systems in the civil sector (air conditioning, heating, fire prevention, etc.), by using the competences learned during their educational path along a teamwork with the aim of consolidating their own ability to devise innovative, sustainable and efficient solutions.
The aim of the course is to provide the student with the skills for the preparation of a complete thermotechnical project of the systems serving civil buildings, starting from the preliminary project (calculation of needs, single-line diagrams), proceeding with the final project (dimensioning of components and distribution networks of working fluids) and in the executive one (preparation of a metric estimate).
There are no prerequisites for accessing the final exam.
Theoretical lessons combined with numerical applications.
As part of the innovation learning project adopted by the Bachelor Degree Course in Mechanical Engineering, novel tools will be used for the active learning of students. The goal is to increase students' skills via interactive, experience-based, learning methodologies (e-learning, teamwork, etc.) for enhanced student participation, using an advanced level of communication that makes the student more aware and autonomous.
AY 2020-21: Design of an air conditioning system: calculation of summer and winter power needs; identification of the necessary treatments on the psychrometric chart; calculation of air flow rates and sizing of the ducts and the aeraulic network; composition of the air handling unit and choice of components. The work must produce the technical report of the project; the dimensioned scheme of the system; the selection and metric calculation of the units and components.

The exam consists of an oral interview, preceded by the delivery of the exercises and projects proposed during the course, which are the subject of discussion during the interview.
Oral discussion focused on the energy certification compilated by the student.
