CIAC-1006Building Mechanical Systems
This foundational course provides an overview of mechanical systems for buildings. Students gain knowledge of the fundamental concepts of mechanical equipment, components, and controls used in building mechanical systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, and fire protection). Emphasis is placed on the consideration required for mechanical systems integration into the overall building project. Students will explore how mechanical systems affect human comfort, building performance, the environment and life safety. The concepts of mechanical systems in this course prepare students for the Building Systems Coordination course.
