Energy & Facilities Management Specialisation

Building Information Modelling for MEP Services

The overall objective of this module is to provide students with the knowledge on the key facilities in a built environment and the skills to conduct building modelling and simulation. Key building facilities include air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation, plumbing and sanitary systems, fire protection and lift system. Autodesk Revit will be the main platform for BIM modelling and IES (VE) will be used for building environment simulation.

Refrigeration & Air-conditioning

Provides an understanding of the theoretical and practical refrigeration cycles and air-conditioning systems. Topics include the components and accessories, flow and cycling controls, heat load estimation, psychometrics, duct sizing and fan systems.

Renewable Energy & Applications

Provide an understanding and practical knowledge of renewable energy and its applications. Topics include solar energy, wind energy and tidal energy.
