Learning outcome

Knowledge: The candidate:

  • Has basic knowledge of building physical contexts within heat penetration, moisture and sound.
  • has knowledge of fire as a physical phenomenon and the principles of fire protection in the building regulations, as the basis for simple fire planning
  • has knowledge of how outdoor climate affects the climate and indoor environment of buildings and how to design buildings based on this
  • can refer to technical authority requirements related to performance, including historical development
  • is familiar with research and development work and standards in construction technology and can update their knowledge of this through information retrieval
  • can write an academic report according to basic principles
  • has basic knowledge of technical drawing according to the Norwegian standard and the design of building constructions using digital technology -
  • can account for the basic material characteristics of the most widely used building materials

Skills: The candidate can:

  • draw simple detail drawings of building constructions on a scale and prepare overview and principle drawings, by hand and with DAK
  • apply calculation methods to document and evaluate the qualities of new and existing building constructions, including heat, moisture and sound calculations.
  • apply current guidelines based on standards for design, engineering and documentation of common technical solutions.
  • calculate the energy requirements and power requirements of a building, both manually and using tools.
  • carry out fire engineering assessments of buildings, with emphasis on the protection of life and health.

General competence: The candidate:

  • can plan and carry out varied building engineering tasks, alone and in groups using recognized methods and techniques according to applicable legislation, in accordance with ethical requirements and guidelines
  • Has insight into the environmental consequences of materials, products and solutions in construction technology, and can put this into an ethical perspective and a lifecycle perspective
  • can present their results and analyzes in both written and oral
  • master current professional expressions and communicate with other professionals, also participate in professional discussions.
  • can reflect on one's own and another's professional practice.

Further on evaluation

Permitted examination aids: Writing and drawing equipment. A re-sit examination is held in August. Continuation and voluntary repetition / improvement can be carried out for some sub-evaluations without having to reassess both sub-evaluations in a topic. There is an opportunity to complain about partial assessments in this topic before all sub-evaluations have been completed.
