AET 210 — Building Service Systems
This course introduces students to the principles of sustainable building design and building service systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding energy flows, building loads, and the impact of climate conditions on design decisions. Students will explore both passive and active systems that enhance energy efficiency, reduce resource consumption, and support environmental sustainability. Through hands-on analysis, students will interpret heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), electrical, plumbing, and fire suppression drawings, applying concepts that contribute to sustainable building design.
