About the course
Aim
The purpose of the course is to, based on the building construction technology, provide knowledge of a building's physical properties regarding heat and moisture transport as well as sound insulation and fire protection. The starting point is to provide a good living environment and low environmental impact. After completing this course students should be able to
- explain the physical notions of moisture and heat as well in the materials as in the compounded building units
- perform calculations of heat- and moisture transfer in order to estimate heat capacity, energy and power requirements and effects of moisture
- describe technical performances of house buildings in order to create healthy housing conditions regarding to sound insulation by calculating extension, reduction and absorption of sound
- describe technical performances of hose buildings with respect to the demands of safety in case of fire
- present applications of the most common building materials with respect to healthy housing conditions and low environmental influence.
Content
