课程特征 Course Features：
The aim of this programme is to respond to the worldwide demand for building services engineers who have a sound knowledge of engineering principles and the ability to apply this knowledge to the complex situations prevailing within the building services industry taking into account energy consumption by end use.
This programme is accredited by CIBSE, the IMechE and the Energy Institute and this will provide a route to Chartered Engineer status in the UK.
课程内容 Course Content ：
Core Modules
Sustainable Energy Modules
•Renewable Energy Technologies
•Energy Efficient Ventilation in Buildings
Building Heat Transfer and Air Conditioning (15 credits)
•Building Heat Transfer
•Air Conditioning
Electrical Services and Lighting Design (15 credits)
•Electrical Services covers aspects of electrical energy supply, electricity tariffs, switchgear and the design of electrical installations to satisfy lEE Wiring Regulations. Also covered are the principles of electrical machines and power electronic devices used in building services applications.
•Lighting Design considers the human visual system, the nature and control of light, photometric units, lighting calculations, interior lighting design, daylighting, lamps and luminaires and energy efficiency aspects of lighting systems.
Acoustics, Fire, Drainage and Lifts (15 credits)
•Acoustics covers the basic terms and physical principles, sound power and intensity, the ear and hearing, propagation of noise, legal requirements and noise standards, room acoustics, sound generation in services systems, and vibration isolation.
•Fire, Drainage and Lifts considers fire and smoke control, sanitation and waste disposal, industrial ventilation and exhaust requirements, lift and escalator design, space allowance for building services, commissioning and testing.
Energy Conversion Technologies (15 credits)
•This element provides a broad introduction to the principles of energy conversion and thermodynamic machines and demonstrates their application to energy conversion and management in buildings. Emphasis is placed on refrigeration plant, energy conversion plant and energy management.
•Refrigeration covers the basic principles and components of vapour compression systems, heat pumps and absorption systems.
•Energy Conversion considers power cycles, combined heat and power, combustion processes, boiler plant, thermal energy storage and environmental impacts of plant operation.
Building Services Design and Management (30 credits)
•This module consists of the following elements:
1.Sustainable Design considers the effects of engineering design solutions on the internal and external environments.
2.Project Management considers management of physical assets, maintenance standards, health and safety and risk assessment.
.
Building Services Design provides specialist knowledge of the building services design organisation process a Dissertation (60 credits)
The dissertation is a stimulating and challenging part of each MSc course. Dissertations may be carried out on any approved topic related to the building services industry and/or sustainable energy technologies and environmental issues. Essentially the dissertation gives the student the opportunity to apply the techniques and disciplines covered in the taught course to a topic of their own interest, of interest to a sponsoring or industrial organisation, or of research interest.
Sustainable Energy Modules
Renewable Energy Technologies (15 credits)
This element includes: energy sources, economics and environmental impact, energy storage technologies, the role of renewables, solar thermal, solar electricity, wind power generation, hydro, tidal and wave power, biofuels, building integrated renewables.
Energy Efficient Ventilation in Buildings (15 credits)
教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment：
Each module is assessed either by formal examination, written assignments or a combination of the two. Cut-off dates for receipt of assignments are specified at the beginning of each stage. Examinations are normally taken in May/June. Successful completion of the taught modules allows the student to proceed to the dissertation stage. To qualify for the award of the MSc degree, the student must submit a satisfactory dissertation. Where the dissertation is judged not to meet the MSc standard the student may be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma.
