Learning outcomes: Knowledge Student knows basic heat flow mechanism; understands physical phenomena inside building and its elements, knows building materials thermo physical properties; knows methods of delineating thermo-humidity characteristics for buildings considering thermal bridges; understands need for rational energy consumption inside building. Skills Student can select thermal insulation for all partitions which limit heated building cubature; know how to determine essential thermo-humidity characteristics for partitions of building; can determine heat stability of partitions in winter and summer season; can calculate rate of heat demand of building in typical heating season.

Competences: Student comprehends concepts and methods such as: theory of heat and mass transfer in partitions of building; through partitions humidity flow; heat comfort inside rooms; house energy balance; lighting and acoustics of room; understands need of assurance in proper isolation and tightness in partitions of building for economical energy consumption.

Prerequisites: building materials, general construction engineering

Course content: Basic building thermal physics concepts. Heat and mass transfer in building materials and inside buildings. Thermal insulation of partitions and construction elements. Heat balance of building. Buildings inside lighting. Basic building acoustics concepts. Acoustic insulation from air and impact sounds.
