The module will provide students with an understanding of the principles of building systems fundamental components and subsystems. Topics related to energy generation systems (boilers, chillers, heat pumps, etc.) and energy distribution systems (ducts/pipes and fans/pumps) will be addressed. Students will be introduced to the science and engineering of key building systems components such as heat exchangers, filters, zone terminal units as well as components integrated in the building fabric such as underfloor heating, chilled ceilings and integrated photovoltaics. The performance of building systems fundamental components and subsystems at both full-load and part-load operation will also be discussed.

During the third term and the summer period, MSc students complete their 10,000 word research dissertation, with a submission in early September. You can choose their your topic providing it relates to one of the main themes of the MSc Sustainable Heritage programme, or you can choose from topics suggested by members of staff. The final dissertation topic is subject to approval from the Programme Director. You may select a topic to assist career development, in relation to a project placement, to develop a strength, or for the inherent interest in the subject. You will select the topic of your dissertation at the start of Term 2. The dissertation is supervised, but is largely self-directed.
