Course Content:

The course covers the fundamental principles, applications and future development potentials of EMCS which have become indispensable for modern buildings. The students will be able to apply the knowledge acquired to the specification, selection and system enhancement of building EMCS.

Lectures and Assigned Readings

The detailed list of lecture/topics is contained in the Course Schedule. The lectures provide the conceptual framework for the course and will also be supplemented with assigned readings if necessary. Students are recommended to complete all the assigned readings on their own time so that questions which may arise can be discussed more fully. Students are expected to have a working understanding of the lecture and reading materials.
