Program description
Master's study programme with Full-Time Mode of Study (continuing) in Czech
Study aims
In line with trends in the construction industry not only in the Czech Republic but also in the world, closely related to the minimization of consumption and efficient use of energy, there is a need to create a prospective master's program responding to current challenges in the construction and operation of nearly zero energy buildings.
The intention is therefore to prepare practitioners for practice in the design, construction and operation of near zero energy buildings with regard to their impact on all environmental compartments, in particular the indoor environment in buildings.
The aim is to provide students with knowledge about the design and operation of advanced energy-efficient buildings with a quality indoor environment and to acquaint them with:
- the necessary theoretical background in mathematics and physics,
- principles and use of methods of multi-criteria evaluation of constructions in the phase and operation,
- progressive and advanced methods of designing environmentally sound buildings,
- design and construction of buildings with a focus on energy savings,
- addressing the issue of preventing the transmission of noise and vibration, particularly from technological equipment in a building,
- approaches to the measurement and control of technical systems in buildings,
- assessing the life cycle cost of the building,
- principles of facility management and its application in the operation of buildings,
- design and operation of so-called intelligent buildings,
- BIM and application of the model in other phases of the project, such as advanced presentations, analyzes, simulations, construction and facility management,
- principles of Smart Cities and Smart Regions,
- diagnosis of defects and failures of building structures,
- measuring methods suitable for the assessment of the indoor environment in buildings and for the control of technical building systems,
- building energy audits,
- up-to-date approaches to the cladding of nearly zero energy buildings,
- fire safety issues in the operation of buildings,
- computer modeling of the state of the internal environment of buildings, their energy performance and the behavior of building technical systems,
- principles and principles of project management according to IPMA - International Project Management Association,
- evaluation of economic efficiency and financial feasibility of construction investment projects.
