Course contents :
|
| This cursus covers non-structural aspects of buildings. It aims at offering to Bio-Engineers students a knowledge of physical phenomenon at work inside buildings that impact indoor climate quality. It educates to constructive and technical means to get a controlled environment.
This course open professional perspectives in engineering office and special technics, energy service company, rational use of energy, property management...
Theory
1. Building aims
2. Present and expected situation
3. Effect of pollutants and microorganisms
4. Confort and user needs
5. Thermal confort
6. Air quality
7. Humidity
8. Lighting
9. Acoustics
Practice
Fourier equation - Modelling of thermal bridges using numerical resolution of partial differential equations |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The student will master the necessary theoretical concepts to describe and analyze the various components of comfort in buildings. It will have a knowledge of the physical phenomena involved in the building and its envelope, and methods of measurement, modeling and evaluation thereof. He will master the various technical means, both passive and active which can be implemented to ensure the quality of the indoor environment, either in the design phase or operation of the building. It will be capable of producing a critical analysis of the pros and cons of technical solutions both operationally and environmentally. He will be able to perform a thermal bridge modeling.
At the end of the course, students must master the technical knowledge in the field of building physics, be able to design healthy and energy efficient buildings using a variety of construction and technical means and be able to explain and to implement. |
