Course Outline: CEE156/156A and CEE256 Building Systems
Courses, Units, Schedule CEE-156 is offered for 3 units, letter grade only; students must also register for CEE156A. CEE-156A is offered for 1 unit, letter grade only based on the results of the design project. CEE-256 is
offered for 3 or 4 units (student can select either option), letter grade only. All classes meet together at 12:15-2:05 Tuesdays and Thursdays in Room 550-550A.
Course Objectives • gain a basic understanding of building HVAC systems: purpose, loads, operation, components, materials, design, coordination, fabrication, installation, commissioning • gain experience in analyzing and designing the HVAC system for a medium sized office building (156A and integrated into 256) • learn building energy modeling and it’s role as an analysis tool in HVAC system design. • learn life-cycle cost analysis basics and apply them to a HVAC system design project.
Prerequisite: for CEE156/156A, CEE183 or instructor's permission. for CEE256, graduate standing in engineering or instructor's permission. Required Text: Principles of Heating, Ventilating, and
Air Conditioning Course Reader: none – materials will be posted on Coursework Course Abstract HVAC systems form a key part of buildings and plants; they are highly interdependent with civil, architectural and structural systems. Their complexity and portion of total project scope is increasing, especially for data-intensive offices and institutional buildings such as medical facilities and research laboratories. These factors combine to make basic understanding of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems essential for success in design or construction careers. The purpose of CEE156 and 256 is for students to gain an overview and awareness of HVAC systems to provide background for initial assignments in design or construction and a basis for continued learning in future assignments.
CEE156 and 256 focus on the need for HVAC systems, their scope, their design and construction, and their integration and coordination. These courses include readings, lecture/discussions, field trips, assignments, and midterm and final examinations. Student groups in CEE156, 156A, and 256 design the HVAC system for a medium-sized commercial office building.
Course Approach and ComponentsThis course focuses on HVAC systems. Coverage of HVAC systems includes system type and selection, design, components, materials, installation, and commissioning.
The reading assignments are chapters from the course text, supplemented with copies of slides from the classes. To participate in and benefit from class discussions, you should complete the assigned readings and review the handouts prior to each session.
The course will also likely include a field trip to the design office and fabrication shop for a mechanical contractor. We will discuss the field trip in a class session following the trip. The course examinations will include questions concerning the field trip. The assignments (see the due dates on the course schedule) focus on the topics covered in the class sessions. You may discuss the problems in general terms with other students, but the written solutions you turn in must be your own work. The assignments and reports are due in class on the scheduled date. The grade will be reduced 10 percent for each day submitted after the due date.
Students in CEE156 must also resister for CEE156A. In 156A and 256, student groups design the HVAC system for a medium sized office building. This project includes selecting the type of system, sizing and locating the major equipment, and sizing and routing the major duct and piping runs. The groups consider three types of constraints in the design project: engineering standards/regulatory, environmental and social, and system delivery. See the separate description of the CEE156A design experience.
Grading
The midterm and final examinations for CEE156/256 emphasize the material covered during the class sessions including field trip, group presentations, and the assignments. They are open book and notes.
CEE156, 156A, and 256 are offered for a letter grade only.
For CEE 156, the component weighting is assignments 30%, midterm 30%, and final 40%. For CEE 256, the weighting is assignments 20%; midterm examination 20%, design project 30%; final examination 30%.
CEE156A is also offered for a letter grade only, based on results of the design project.
