The graduate has a basic knowledge of building physics and the most important skills to calculate basic properties of building parts. The acquired skills cover all important chapters of building physics such as thermal behaviour, moisture propagation, energy certificates, basics about thermal bridges, airborne and structure-borne noise. In addition, several references to sustainability and, through the topic of energy certificates, specifically to the ecological aspects of building physics are addressed. After completing the exercises, a student can not only create an energy certificate for a building in accordance with the most important standards, but also suggest sensible improvement measures.
After completing the lecture a student can understand the principles and physical causes und the calculation methods.
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
After completing both modules, a student can not only create an energy certificate for a building in accordance with the most important standards, but also suggest sensible improvement measures concerning the energy consumption of a building and typical building physics issues such as moisture and sound propagation. Physical principles and calculation methods are understood.
The acquired skills cover all important chapters of building physics such as thermal behaviour, moisture propagation, energy certificates, aspects of thermal bridges, airborne and structure-borne noise. In addition, several references to sustainability and, through the topic of energy certificates, specifically to the ecological aspects of building physics are addressed.
