Course Objectives :

This course is aimed to provide the tools needed for designing a Building Heating System. The fundamentals of such a system will be given to the students during lecture sessions. The  related Turkish standards, regulations of the Ministry of the Public Works and the Chamber of the Mechanical Engineers will be discussed during the design hours and the students will make a heating sytem term project for a given architectural one.
