SDBE 527 Efficient Building Services: Reading list

SDBE527 Efficient Building Services


Department: MSc in Sustainable Design and Built Environment

Module Description: The design of ‘environmentally friendly’ buildings depends critically on the choice of appropriate servicing strategies - an inappropriate servicing strategy can negate all the work undertaken on the form and fabric of the building. This module explores the principles behind current low-energy solutions to servicing strategies and deals with basic application information and strategies. Students will have an opportunity to extend their use of current environmental software to take into account service loads. The course is designed to complement the information provided in all the other modules. In particular, ventilation system design is covered in detail elsewhere. Support for the learning will come from the module project.
