Course Summary

Course overview

Our MSc Sustainable Building Technology is tailored towards graduates in building services, architectural environmental engineering, architecture and other related disciplines.

The course is structured to accommodate the interests and skills of those who are related to building design and technology and building energy and environmental performance.

The strong emphasis is targeted to successful integration of renewable and sustainable energy technologies into buildings, which requires an understanding of both design and technology and hence the close co-operation of architecture and engineering.

Eligible courses at the University of Nottingham include bachelors, masters and research degrees, and PGCE courses.

Modules

This module aims to provide students with an overview of indoor air flow and CFD from which skills in CFD modelling of air flow, heat transfer and pollutant transport processes in buildings are developed. This module will provide the basics of air flow and heat transfer associated with building ventilation and a brief introduction to the principles of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) for building applications. Students will be introduced to a commercial CFD package (ANSYS Fluent), which will be used to develop practical modelling skills through exploring air flow, heat transfer and pollutant dispersion in and around buildings based on a variety of ventilation strategies.
