Title: Engineering Utilities 2

Description: The course focuses on the mechanical systems, fore protection systems,
sanitary/plumbing systems, and acoustics in buildings. Lecture discussions include HVAC
systems, acoustics, vertical transportation and fire protection. Reducing operational loads and
integrating high performance energy systems into buildings offers solutions towards achieving
sustainable and secure energy future. Engineers must understand the interrelationship
between a building and its subsystems, and need sufficient knowledge of building systems and
design alternatives to recommend appropriate solutions that suit the site, climate, building
type, and occupants. They must coordinate the work of the engineering disciples that carry
sustainability concept forward through building design, construction, commissioning,
operation, and ultimately demolition, recycling, and reuse.
Units: 3 (three)
