BCON 210 Mech & Elect Bldg Serv Systems
introduces the study of the materials and equipment used in the mechanical and electrical service systems of buildings. The student is provided with information on how a modern building operates. This information enables the student to make reasonable preliminary selection of necessary mechanical and electrical equipment. Topics covered include illumination, heat gain and loss, heating systems, sewage disposal, electrical sources, and materials. Students will visit buildings to observe the service systems and equipment so that they may be better able to realize the relationship of these elements to the building as a whole. This course is applicable toward all certificates, AAS, ALS (credit hours 3.0, lecture hours 2.0, lab hours 2.0).
