This module will cover the specific issues related to management of heritage data, such as curatorial, conservation or reuse, as well as legal and ethical. Technical content will involve developing the skills and knowledge needed to structure data in order to enable exploitation and reuse, and challenges related to long-term storage and particularly preservation of large datasets. The principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, migration and reusability will be explored in detail, as they define the future value and particularly the economic value of data collected or required by heritage institutions.

This module considers the application of physics, thermodynamics and heat transfer, contextualised in the development and operation of engineered building systems.

Topics covered:

• Applied thermodynamics for building engineering systems

• Building systems heat and mass transfer

• Psychrometric and hygro-thermal analysis of essential building system processes

• Identification and application of parameters to quantify and deliver thermal comfort

• Building heating and cooling load calculations and energy demand calculations

The module focuses on developing skills in energy system modelling, and understanding how models are used, to aid the development of policies to meet energy...
