Course content

• Physical basis
• Indoor climate
• Thermodynamics
• Moisture

Learning outcome

After completing the course, students should be able to use relevant regulations to document buildings' energy needs and be able to assess the extent to which the building's climate screen may be exposed to moisture problems.

This results in the following learning outcomes:

Knowledge:

• Have basic knowledge of building physical contexts within heat transfer and moisture.
• Be familiar with technical authority requirements related to the topics, including related requirements to indoor climate.

Skills:

• Assess current building requirements.
• Conduct assessment and calculation of heat and moisture transport in building parts.
• Calculate energy and effect demand for a building.

General competence:

• Communicate professionally with peers
• Assess the ethical aspects of selected technical solutions.

Learning methods and activities

Continuous strings:

• Digital String: Simulation software.
• Ethics strand: Ethical issues surrounding energy use.

The form of learning is essentially project work and exercises.

Mandatory work requirements:

Up to 4 mandatory assignments must be delivered according to plan and approved in order to take the final exam.

For netbased students:

An online course means that all communication between tutor and student is organised through a digital learning platform.

Pre-recorded video lectures are used.

Estimated time spent:

Pre-recorded lectures: ca. 15 hours Campus lectures: ca. 15 hours Organized tutoring: ca. 20 hours Project work: ca. 50 hours Own effort: ca. 80 hours SUM ca. 180 hours
