| Student Activity (Notional Equivalent Study Hours (NESH)) |
| Mode of activity | Learning & Teaching Activity | NESH (Study Hours) | NESH Description |
| Face To Face | Tutorial | 22 | TUTORIAL/lab - 2hrs per week - Consists of a mixture of tutorials and laboratory experiments. The labs will demonstrate the practical application of some the issues covered during the lectures. The tutorials will provide a hands on learning experience, under guidance from a tutor. Students will work individually or in small groups to solve problems. Tutorials emphasize active learning and provide an opportunity to receive personalized feedback on exam type questions. |
| Face To Face | Centrally Time Tabled Examination | 2.75 | Centrally Time Tabled Examination - 4 questions, do 3, 2hrs & 45 mins (including reading time). The exam evaluates students' understanding of the module content. It tests their ability to accurately solve problems, demonstrate technical proficiency, and apply theoretical knowledge under time constraints. |
| Face To Face | Lecture | 22 | LECTURE - 2hrs per week An oral presentation in a banked lecture theatre. The weekly lectures are intended to introduce the fundamental theory of the module content. This will consist of explanations of the theory, worked examples and practical case studies as well as some videos and visual representations. At the conclusion of each lecture the lecturer will indicate what the students will do in the subsequent tutorials as well as directed study they should cover independently. |
| Online | Guided independent study | 153.25 | Guided independent study & completion of project report. Students will be given weekly guidance on what they should study independently outside of class, including tutorial questions they are expected to attend in their own time. In addition the students will have a coursework to complete during this time period. The coursework provides an opportunity for the students to demonstrate their skills involving calculation, thermofluids, the design of energy systems and report writing. |

| Assessment |
| Type of Assessment | Weighting % | LOs covered | Week due | Length in Hours/Words | Description |
| Project - Written | 50 | 2~3~4~5 | Week 9 | , WORDS= 2000 | This report will look at the design of a ground source heat pump system for a building (M5), Students will first estimate the heat losses from the house itself (M2), then model the heat energy balance of the ground coil (M3). They will then select an appropriately sized pump (M6) and consider the effects of that on system performance (M13). |
| Centrally Time Tabled Examination | 50 | 1~3~4~5 | Exam Period | HOURS= 2 hours 45 mins | On campus Centrally Time Tabled Exam, do 3 from 4 questions. Duration includes 5 minutes reading time. Exam questions will consist of a mixture of analytical questions [M3], where they must demonstrate how to apply a systems approach to a complex problem [M6] and select correct processes and recognize their limitations [M13). Questions may also relate to practical laboratories experiences during the term [M12] |
