Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Apply the principles of fluid flow (including air-moisture behaviour) relevant to a ventilation system.
- 2
Appreciate the occurrence of gases and particulate matter in confined spaces and select appropriate control strategies.
- 3
Design a basic ventilation system (including primary and secondary circuits).
- 4
Interpret and apply legislative requirements applicable to ventilation.
Workload and teaching

- Teaching approachProblem-based learning
Minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 4-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-8 hours independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
Practice questions will be provided such that students would do them individually first. The problem-solving process will be demonstrated to enhance students' understanding of concepts and theories.
Important concepts and theories will be delivered and emphasised during the lecture considering the nature of the unit. This would help students to understand the fundamentals better. Relevant problems will be provided and work out process will be demonstrated to help students to understand the theories from practical viewpoints.
