Summary
The course introduces students to the emerging field of comprehensive control of building operational technical functions. Students will learn about control technologies for commercial, residential, and industrial buildings. The course is designed primarily for students aiming for careers in investment construction, design, innovation, and in the maintenance, renovation, and new construction of large industrial and public facility buildings. It is also suitable for students interested in the "Smart Home" field.
Theoretical knowledge gained in the course is complemented by field trips providing practical demonstrations of building automation. A minimum prerequisite for the course is computer literacy (PC proficiency). Laboratories are equipped with workstations featuring technologies used for building automation; multimedia teaching aids and software tools for design support are utilized. Within the course, students can obtain the KNX Partner certificate according to the conditions of the KNX Association.
The student is assessed based on a semester project (school project), a final test, and possibly an oral exam.

Additional study materials
Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester
Continuous assessment: Semester project (school project) due by the 8th week.
School project: Solution of a complex problem regarding the control of selected operational technical functions in buildings. The documentation must include a drawing and a text section in the scope specified by the semester project assignment. The defense is considered successful if the student submits the project, demonstrates the project's functionality, independently explains individual parts of the project, presents and evaluates project documents, and comments on the fulfillment of the assignment.
Credit requirements: Achieving a total of at least 10 points from tests and school projects.
