Syllabus
- 1. Fundamentals in heat transfer. Thermal comfort in buildings.
- 2. Steady state heat flux, U-value determination.
- 3. Temperature profile for steady state conditions.
- 4. Influence of a reflective (aluminium) foil on U-value of the structure with non-ventilated air cavity.
- 5. Surface properties, risk of a surface condensation and mould grows, critical surface temperature and humidity, dew point temperature.
- 6. Thermal properties of windows and doors.
- 7. Two dimensional temperature profile of characteristic details (critical places in structures - thermal bridges and corners).
- 8. Assessment and determination of condensation regions into structures, additional protection against vapour and moisture.
- 9. Annual balance of condensated and evaporated amounts in the structure.
