brief description of the course in Estonian
Õppeaine baseerub loengutele ja praktilisele tööle.
Teooria raames käsitletakse järgmisi teemasid: Jahutuse eesmärk. Väliskliima mõju hoone jahutusele. Jahutuse kajastamine hx-diagrammil ja kestuskõveral. Jahutuskoormuse määramine. Sisemised ja välimised soojuskoormused. Hoone arhitektuurse lahenduse mõju jahutusele. Jahutussüsteemid ja nende liigid. Ruumiseadmed. Külma tootmine. Passiiv-, vaba- ja aktiivjahutus. Energiatõhusust mõjutavad tegurid ja neid väljendavad parameetrid. Jahutussüsteemid ja nende liigid. Ruumiseadmed. Külma tootmine. Passiiv-, vaba- ja aktiivjahutus. Energiatõhusust mõjutavad tegurid ja neid väljendavad parameetrid. Büroohoone jahutuse projekteerimise alused. Ühised kütte- ja jahutussüsteemid.

brief description of the course in English
The subject is based on lectures and practical works.
The theoretical part will cover the following topics: Purpose of cooling. Outdoor climate's influence on bulding's cooling. Representing cooling process on mosture air diagram and on duration curve. Determing cooling capasity. Internal and external heat gains. Building's architectural design's influence on cooling. Cooling systems and different types of cooling systems . Room devices. Refrigeration. Passive- free- and activ cooling. Factors affecting energy efficiency and parameters expressing them
type of assessment in Estonian
Tegemist on eksmaiga lõppeva õppeainega. Hindamine toimub ja lõpphinne kujuneb kodutööde, laboratoorsete tööde, kontrolltöö ja eksami tulemuste põhjal.
type of assessment in English
The subject ends with an exam. The assessment is conducted and the final mark is established based on the results of the homework assignments, laboratory works, test and exam.
independent study in Estonian
Kodutööna tuleb individuaalselt koostada büroohoone jahutuse projekt ja grupi ühistööna jahutusega seotud teema analüüs ja selle esitamine kuulajaskonnale

independent study in English
As an individual homework a cooling project of an office building needs to be compiled and as a group assignment a cooling topic analysis needs to be done and presented to the audience
