Course Objective

To investigate geothermal systems that use geothermal energy for the purposes of heating or electric generation and to determine the design criteria. Besides, buildings will be inspected about being appropriate to insulation standards from a view of energy saving and the students will be informed about the materials that used in insulation of buildings and pipes lines.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Define the basic concepts related to geothermal energy.
2   Interpret compliance with thermal insulation of buildings.
3   Select components for the district heating systems.
4   Define the basic working principles of the plate heat exchangers.
5   Select components for the geothermal power plants.
