Electrical and Telecommunication Infrastructures

Description
This subject is divided in two completely different parts that at the time are complementary. The first part (electric infrastructures and energetic saving installations) focuses in everything related to electric installations working with medium and low voltage, which is defined in the Low Voltage Electrotechnics Code (REBT-2002): elements that make up a wiring (power-conductors, cable wireway, A.C. panels, switchboards…), the structure of those wirings and the necessary methods to calculate the correct size and selection of the electrical devices. It also includes an introduction to the home automation world and to the principal save systems that may be implemented in houses. The second part (infrastructure and telecommunications) focuses in studying the different parts of a building, the actual regulation for Common Telecommunications (ICT´s) infrastructures and what does it includes, and the future digital home adaptation. The explanation is focused in the regulation interpretation, the organisms that regulate it the regulation application in different kinds of buildings. All this is completed with a short description of the systems that are not included within the ICT but that are related. In both, the first and the second part, students will work with real cases.
