Building Engineering Systems

Assessed intended learning outcomes
On successful completion of this assessment, you will be able to:
Describe building heat transfer mechanisms and carry out calculations for the determination of heat losses from buildings.
Compare the provision of natural and artificial lighting within buildings.
Explain the influence of the building and its services on the internal acoustic environment and compare calculated noise levels with recognised design criteria.
Select, describe and explain the operation, control and sustainability of the various components which make up particular Engineering Systems.
Apply environmental design criteria to ensure occupant thermal comfort whilst achieving good design practice in relation to energy conservation and control within buildings.
