Accompanied individual mini-project:

Intelligent control of a single zone building

Autonomous group project:

Students define their own subject on indoor climate control, for example:

- dynamic insulation,

- dynamic solar protection,

- control of floor-heating and fan coils,

- influence of set-point setback,

- control of intermittently heated buildings,

- model predictive control.
