BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND BUILDING SERVICESVBFA01
Credits: 10. Grading scale: TH. Cycle: G1 (First Cycle). Main field: Technology. Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish. VBFA01 overlaps following cours/es: ABK140, VBF012, VBF017 and VBM060. Compulsory for: V1. Course coordinator: Hans Bagge, hans.bagge@byggtek.lth.se and Mats Dahlblom, mats.dahlblom@hvac.lth.se, Building Physics. Recommended prerequisits: FAFA45 Thermodynamics with Applications. Assessment: Two written examinations each with a theoretical and a calculation part. Both parts must be passed at the same occasion. To pass the course the students also must complete and pass the project "huset Huset". A well done project can raise the final grade. Parts: 3. Further information: The course Building technolgy and Building Services is a part of an informal course called Building Technology. Other courses in this context are FAFA45 Thermodynamics with Applications and VBM012 Building Materials. Home page: http://www.hvac.lth.se.

Aim
To give a basic knowledge of building technology, building physics, indoor climate and building services.

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

be able to describe and explain different building components

be able to analyse and calculate elementary heat and moisture processes

be able to identify and describe the effect of moisture on different building components

have a basic knowledge of indoor climate and demands on the indoor climate

have knowledge of systems for ventilation, heating, tap water and waste water.

Skills and abilities
For a passing grade the student must

be able to use technical terms both oral and written

be able to discuss different solutions with actors in the building trade

be able to create well performing building components in detail

be able to independently carry out further studies

be able to design systems for ventilation, heating, tap water and waste water in dwellings

be able to identify and solve elementary problems within building services

Contents
This course deals with how to put components together in order to provide shelter against the outside climate, the application of different indoor climate criteria and the construction of simple building service systems for ventilation, heating, tap water, waste water and rainwater. Also studied are the coordination of building services with building plans and structure. Simple drawings and the reading/understanding complex drawings will also be addressed.
