Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

3.1.1 What is module 3 of Efficient HVAC Systems about?

Course subject(s) Module 3: Distribution of heat, cold, and air in buildings

Welcome to module 3!

This third module is devoted to the distribution of heat, cold and air in buildings. Distribution of heat and cold can be done by air or water systems. After a short comparison of both, you will learn more about air handling units and air systems. After that we will address the water systems, so called hydronic heating and cooling. What are their advantages and disadvantages in terms of comfort and energy efficiency?

Enjoy!
