"summary": "Following on from the Level 4 HNC Building Services Engineering, the Level 5 units prepare students to move on to specific areas of building services engineering at Level 6 or to enter employment with the qualities and abilities necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and decision making. \nStudents will be introduced to additional topics that will be relevant to them as they progress to the next level of their studies; advancing their knowledge of mathematical theory gained in the Level 4. \nFor example, the Advanced HVAC Design & Installation unit supports students to build an understanding of the broad application of technologies and design techniques used to satisfy the requirements in large commercial or complex/multi-zone buildings. The study of thermofluids is critical to the design, specification and operation of building services engineering systems and by the end of the programme, students will also have an advanced knowledge of the formulae required to undertake calculations related to thermofluids and acoustics, applying the results to the design and specification of equipment, plant and environments.\n On successful completion of Further Maths , students will be able to use applications of number theory in practical construction situations, solve systems of linear equations relevant to construction applications using matrix methods, approximately solutions of contextualised examples with graphical and numerical methods, and review models of construction systems using differential equations. As a HVAC specialist you will study hydraulic and control strategies for heating, sustainable technologies, ventilation systems for forced air and passive ventilation, complex distribution & plan strategies for air conditioning, and related design & installation factors. Students will explore the key features of thermofluids, heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics & combustion, and their calculation & application. Understanding how to calculate and manage heat transfer will give students key knowledge that will enable them to work on a range of different systems for heating and refrigeration. Students will also develop an understanding of the issues associated with acoustics and the operation of building services systems. They will explore the causes of noise and vibration, learn how to calculate noise levels and develop strategies to manage the acoustic environment. On successful completion, students may be eligible to study a Level 6 top up Degree in a related field and/or pursue professional qualifications. Students may then develop their career in this sector by entering or continuing employment in roles such as: Heating & Ventilation Engineer, Electrician, Plumber, Building Surveyor, Building Services Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Maintenance Engineer.\n\n1 Year full-time 2 full days attendance (12 Hours per week)\n\nYou will study 8 units & gain 120 credits over the duration of the course. \n\nAlthough every care has been taken to ensure that the information contained within this document is accurate, there may be changes to this programme and provision. We will endeavour to keep prospective and current students updated where appropriate and when the information becomes available.",
