French language
Course contents :  
This course aims to explore in depth the building techniques in terms of performance of building envelopes, energy systems and drainage systems.

The course includes the following topics:
- the energy balance of a building,
- the current energy legislation,
- the assessment of occupants' comfort,
- the infiltration, condensation and transfer of water vapor in buildings,
- the heating and cooling systems,
- the ventilation systems,
- the drainage systems.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
The course objectives are:

- Knowing the different techniques for building envelopes, energy systems and drainage systems.

-Acquiring skills necessary to be able to select the best techniques for a specific building project.

- Being able to make the calculations associated to a preliminary energy design and drainage design of buildings.

- Knowing the current standards and being able to complete a project according to them.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
Course : "Building techniques I"
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
During practical works, students have to develop technical details for buildings and systems design and calculate their energy performance.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
From September to December.
Recommended or required readings :  
The slides are provided during the course (in pdf).
Assessment methods and criteria :  
A written exam.

The practical work carried out at the same time as the course accounts for half of the final assesment, with the other half given by the written exam.
