-
Walls: composition of different layers in a wall and calculating water vapour diffusion through it.
-
Details: verification of constructive nodes and calculating linear thermal bridges
-
Eco audit: calculating an overall ecological audit, from the need for grey energy, CO2 equivalent emissions ...

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| To include energy aspects in all phases of architectural design. To verify the different energetic and conceptual performances using tools to help the decision making process in the form of simulation software. To cultivate a critical approach in terms of preconceived ideas, energetic and architectural solutions. To learn to analyse, quantify and improve constructive solutions in terms of:
- Constructive systems;
- Conventional and ecological/alternative materials;
- Thermal insulation requirements;
- Thermal bridges.
- From openings to water vapour diffusion through walls.
- From water-tightness to air and wind-tightness.
- ...
