| Credits/ECTS : |

| Holder(s) : | Henriette Michaux |

| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | The course approaches buildings within a climatic context: internal climate (and concepts of comfort) and external climate (macro- and micro- climate). Thermal design in buildings is based on the four points of the heating strategy (capture, storage, distribution, retention). The concepts of bioclimatic architecture will raise students' awareness of the environmental problems associated with the use of fossil fuels.
Ventilation of internal spaces is envisaged based on sources of pollution and physiological needs. The regulations in force (D50-001) will be studied. |
|
| Course objective : | Understanding of the hygrothermal phenomena interacting between internal and external climate and their consequences upon the building (orientation, protection, insulation), on how its spaces are organised (distribution) and on how its inertia is distributed.
These principles may also thus be integrated into the projects offered in the workshop. |
