brief description of the course in Estonian
Aruka hoone mõiste ja hoonete arukuse aspektid. Hoonete erinevad tehnilised süsteemid (energiahaldus, HVAC, valgustus-, turva-, ohutus- ja sidesüsteemid), hierarhia ja hoonesüsteemide integreerimine, rahvusvaheliselt standardiseeritud hooneautomaatika funktsionaalsus.
Hoonetes kasutatavad automaatikaseadmed ja -andmeside. Hoonesüsteemide standardiseeritud andmeside lahendused (KNX, LonWorks, BACnet, jt.) ning arengusuunad. Avatud standardite kasutamine süsteemide integreerimisel. Küberturvalisuse küsimused hoonesüsteemides. Programmeeritavate loogikakontrollerite ja rakendusspetsiifiliste kontrollerite kasutamine ning programmeerimine/seadistamine. Hoone tehnosüsteemide automaatjuhtimise näited.
brief description of the course in English
Intelligent buildings concept and aspects. Building subsystems; automation, energy management, lighting, communication, life safety and security; hierarchy and their integration with the building envelope; internationally standardized building automation functions.
Building automatic control instrumentation. Communication networks in buildings and in automation, standardized solutions (KNX, LonWorks, BACnet, etc) and trends. Open standards in systems integration. Cybersecurity issues in building systems. Programmable logic controllers (PLC) and application specific controllers. Building services automation examples.
type of assessment in Estonian
1. Arvestuskontrolltöö kogu kursuse teemade kohata. Vaja sooritada positiivselt.
2. Praktikumide arvestus – praktikumide ülesannete täitmine ja ettenäitamine. Planeeritud on kuus 4-6 tunnist praktikumi, millest igaüks pühendub aine ühele praktilist omandamist võimaldavale teemale (PLC’d, KNX, nutikodu vms)
type of assessment in English
1. A written test.
2. Practical labs (6 x 4-6 hours) on the PLC, KNX, Smart home topics
independent study in Estonian
Iseseisvaks tööks on praktikumideks ettevalmistumine üldise õppekirjanduse ja/või praktikumijuhendite abil. Praktikumides iseseisvalt ülesannete lahendamine ja lahenduste aruannete vormistamine. Iseseisva töö maht on 64 tundi.
independent study in English
Individual preparations based on liteature materials and/or practical labs guides. Individual solving practical labs control tasks and writing a report containing solutions. Amount of individual work is 64 hours.
