BUAS 1035 Environmental Systems and Control Logic
This course introduces the analysis of control circuits found in building environmental systems. Emphasis is placed on identifying the operational sequence of environmental equipment by the interpretation of schematics and relay logic. Students should be able to produce flow charts of the operational sequence from equipment schematics. The course includes the study of control circuits found in motor controls, pump stations, chillers, boilers, furnaces, rooftop units, heat pumps, VAV, and VRF. Topics include: safety, power distribution, three-phase, single-phase, low-voltage systems, NEMA symbols, schematics, ladder diagrams, relay logic, flow charts, and NEC Articles 430 440. Student use of software such as MS Visio, The Constructor, Multisim, is suggested.
