Learning outcomes
In this course the basic terms from the area of environment technology are explained. The students will get acquainted with the methods of environment and working environment protection in companies, methods of creating suitable working and habitable environment in terms of heating, air conditioning and noise and lighting. They will get a view of basic human activity influence on environment and of technical and legislative aspects of environment protection. The aim is to acquaint the students with the basic principles of environment and working environment protection and with creating suitable conditions for human life. They will also get acquainted with the problem of managing the environment and working environment care on the level of a company.
Student has knowledge of the technique used, can design, or dimension basic orientation parameters of individual technologies to remove pollution in the environment, can independently proceed in solving the issue of technical care of the environment. It can be used both in the process of designing, dimensioning and operating these devices. It also focuses on the principles of politics and legislative provision of environmental protection and creation.
