Course Description
People in urban settings spend between 80 and 90% of their time in indoor spaces both during work and during leisure time. It is therefore important that the Architect and the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) engineers work in unison to ensure the quality environment. A good design can result in:
- Healthy and comfortable using of the space/facility
- Better environmental control
- Operational efficiency
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions
- Increased productivity
Due to the ever increasing length of tunnels, the growing number of safety requirements and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, more and more demands are being placed on tunnel ventilation systems today. Apart from meeting these demands, the design of ventilation systems must also take energy efficiency and tunnel availability into account, whether that be for road, rail or metro tunnels.
This course gives an in depth understanding of both MEP systems in general and the tunnel ventilation aspects.
