CESA 1102 - Building Systems

Presents an overview of various conventional energy dependent building systems, conventional and alternative passive systems, and their interaction with each other, including lighting, heating, cooling, and ventilation. Examines non-mechanical building systems, such as building envelope, insulation, windows, glazing, as well as building systems controls. Strategies for existing buildings will be differentiated from those for new construction, with focus on energy management in existing buildings. Building performance improvements, including energy performance, through building recommissioning or continuous commissioning, will be examined. Introduces energy performance simulation (computer modeling) as a tool to establish baselines and change scenarios for energy reduction strategies. Prerequisites: CESA 1101
