Objective
Students will gain skills that permit a deeper understanding of multimedia issues in terms of construction design, thermal fault elimination and ensuring low energy consumption of buildings. A part of the course will be an optimisation of void infill elements from a point of view of thermal comfort of a room, interior daylighting and insolation.
Knowledge
By attending the course the students will learn how to properly design building structures by eliminating the sources of failures and defects with the means of computer simulation programs. They will be taught how to design buildings with low-energy demands meeting the thermal indoor comfort conditions, together with the correct utilization of solar gains through openings which also satisfy the requirements given by the standards and regulations of daylighting design.
Syllabus
1. Functional requirements for thermal protection of buildings, energy legislation.
2. Practical use of software for building heat engineering solution of one-dimensional temperature field for the unsteady state.
3.–4. Modelling and assessment of selected detail using a two-dimensional temperature field.
5.–6. Thermal stability of a room – a critical assessment of the room in terms of maximal increase of temperature and a maximum temperature of a room in summer.
7. Functional requirements of the day and insolation of buildings.
8. Rating daylight factor.
9. Structural and energetic properties of the building, the heat transfer through the building envelope.
