Report | 70 | 1~2~3~4~5 | Week 12 | , WORDS= 4000 | Students are assigned to optimise a hybrid renewable energy system for a building case study, using specified parameters to ensure building comfort. [C1,C2,C3,C4,C5, C7 and C13]They must also evaluate the safety and security aspects related to the maintenance and operation of the system [C10]. Additionally, students are expected to assess indoor air quality, propose suitable ventilation solutions to comply with current building regulations and evaluate noise levels and transmission.[C1,C2,C3,C4,C5, C7 and C13] This project will be conducted in small groups of three or four members, with students assessing their individual and team performance.[C16] |
