HIGHLIGHTS OF FINAL YEAR PROJECT:
Project Name: THE REDESIGN OF HVAC SYSTEMS TO RESOLVE FUNGUS GROWTH FOR A PUBLIC HOSPITAL
Duration: July 2006 to May 2007
Software and Platform: SimCAD, Trnsys, PsycPro
The title of the research is to resolve the fungus growth problem in public hospital by preventing it, rather than eliminate it after detection. The main purpose of this project is to redesign and optimize the HVAC system in order to make a condition that can prevent the fungus growth. Besides, optimized HVAC system is to aim that it is effective in terms of energy saving and maintenance costs.
