Building Automation and Systems Engineering

Course Details

Course Description

This lecture is intended to provide an introduction to the diverse world of “Applied Computer Science.” The “Building Systems Technology” lecture (module) serves as a bridge between potential fields of application (civil engineers) and the methods of computer science. The subject area of building systems engineering covers the most important elements, such as lighting, control of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, access control, and shading, including all sensors and actuators. An introduction is provided to building networks, including existing information technology standards (e.g., LON and KNX). The lecture is supported by examples and practical exercises. The course is based on the value-added life cycle and thus encompasses not only planning but also facility management.
