Description

The course is founded on the interaction between the theoretical bases and applications relevant to built projects. The topics to be dealt with in the course will be: Light in construction: management of natural light in the project for comfort and safety; materials (optical quality and energy); lighting technology (constructional solutions). Sound in construction: protection against noise; acoustic design; use of materials, spaces and volumes; construction solutions. Energy in construction: geometry, orientation of the building and management of the envelope; materials (thermal and hygrometric properties); low energy impact buildings; construction details. Requirements for the design of modern concepts of heat generation from renewable energy sources.
