1. The University of Texas at Austin Spring 2010 CAEE Department, Architectural Engineering Program Course: Building Environmental Systems, ARE 346N All course information: http://www.ce.utexas.edu/prof/Novoselac/classes/ARE346N/ Prerequisites: Physics 303L and 103N – Engineering Physics &Lab (ME 320/326 recommended) Professor: Dr. Atila Novoselac ECJ, 5422 Office (512) 475-8175 ; LAB (512) 232-7937 e-mail: atila@mail.utexas.edu http://www.ce.utexas.edu/prof/Novoselac Office Hours: Tuesday and Thursday 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM

2. Lecture Objectives Discuss the syllabus and ground rules Describe scope of BES Introduce the course themes Introduce yourself Address any of your concerns

3. Motivation for ARE 346N class Who are you? Why are you here? What is your primary interest? A.Structures B.Construction engineering/Project management C.Environmental Engineering D.Building environmental systems (HVAC) E.Something else

4. Structural vs. Environmental Systems in buildings

5. 3D model – Biomedical Engineering (BME) Building

8. Real world questions It is 4pm on the day before you need to submit the plans. Your mechanical engineer comes to you and tells you that that the structural change that you approved will cost $50K in additional ducts and equipment. What do you do?

9. Real world questions A salesperson tells you that changing your dropped ceiling and roof insulation strategy is guaranteed to save you 1/3 of your building energy costs. Your roofing contractor tells you that it is impossible to build the roof in the specified manner without causing moisture problems. Who should you believe?

10. Buildings Responsible for ~40% of energy consumption 90% of our time we spend indoors Construction is one of the largest industries in the world Environmental systems are a central part of every building Affect: Energy consumption Thermal comfort and IAQ First cost

11. 1.Describe the role of building environmental systems in building planning and design 2.Research and critically analyze claims about building environmental systems made by salespeople, subcontractors, and building designers 3.Calculate building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning loads and specify HVAC equipment for residential and light commercial construction. 4.Define design requirements for building electrical systems and design basic systems 5.List characteristics of different lamps, describe building lighting designs and their consequences and demonstrate knowledge of lighting design principles Course Objectives

12. Prerequisites Physics 103M and 303L ME 320: Applied Thermodynamics A.I already took it B.I have not taken it C.I am currently taking it

13. Preparation for FE exam - Career in industry - step towards PE exam Capstone design seminar Prepare you for BES portion Background material Resources Calculation familiarity Preparation for ARE 465

14. Textbook Tao and Janis (2004) 3 rd or (2009) 4 th Edition Too few examples - I will add more Some important area not adequately covered - I will provide handouts Very appropriate for those who want one textbook for ARE465 and won’t be doing BES after graduation

15. Trost, J., (1999), Efficient Building Design Series Volume 1: Electrical and Lighting, Prentice Hall. Very good textbook many examples Cover only Lighting and Electrical systems Library does not have it yet “References”

16. Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning Mcqusiton, Spittler, Parker (2000) Common textbook for undergraduate HVAC class Good descriptions Many examples Much more in-depth than we will use Not used for HVAC design classes here at UT You should get this if you want a readable text on HVAC

17. “References” ASHRAE Handbook: Fundamentals. IP or SI edition, hard copy or CD In reference Library section Note that it is much cheaper to become a member of ASHRAE to get this text. Great and very complete reference Few examples, very hard to read, inexpensive Most appropriate for those who want the industry-standard reference and intend on having BES be a part of their future

18. ASHRAE Membership ASHRAE - American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers - predominant BES Society Inexpensive way to get textbook http://www.ashrae.org/ Student Zonehttp://www.ashrae.org/ For student application

19. Quizzes10% Midterms (total 2)25% Projects15% Homework Assignments20% Participation 5% Final Exam25% 100% Grading

20. Quizzes: 10 + 1 bonus Projects: Midterm and Final Homework Assignments: During the whole course

21. Final Exam Optional IF You get a C (70%) or better on both midterms You give me written notification by May 7 th at 5pm If you meet the above criteria and don’t take the final, your midterm grade will represent 50% of your final grade

22. Participation My assessment of your participation in the class 5% of total grade How to get participation points Come to class Submit all assignments/projects on time Participate in class (verbal) Come see me in my office Participate in all field trips
