Learning unit contents

This course provides an in-depth study of building techniques related to the performance of the building envelope and certain associated energy systems.

The course covers the following topics:

• The energy balance of a building;
  
  
• Energy regulations;
  
  
• The evaluation of occupant comfort;
  
  
• Air infiltration, condensation, and water vapor transfer in buildings.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

ARCH3258-1: Techniques de construction durable des bâtiments IA : Eléments

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Les travaux pratiques sont consacrés aux calculs de prédimensionnement des performances énergétiques et techniques d'un bâtiment. Les étudiantes apprennent à modéliser l'enveloppe du bâtiment, à analyser les transferts thermiques et à évaluer la conformité du projet aux réglementations en vigueur. L'enseignement combine des séances théoriques ex cathedra avec des applications pratiques individuelles et en groupe, soutenues par l'utilisation de logiciels de simulation énergétique.

Activities: theoretical lectures, practical work, and construction site or project visit.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face course


Further information:

The course follows a hybrid blended learning approach, which offers a good balance between various learning methods and pedagogical approaches to achieve the educational objectives.

In-person sessions from September to December: ex cathedra lectures and practical work (TP).

Assessment methods: written exam and continuous project evaluation throughout the term.

Continuous assessment


Additional information:

The assessment includes: -a written exam (open book) on the theoretical course, for 50% of the final grade. -the scoring of practical work, for 50% of the final grade. Students who have not completed all compulsory activities may not be admitted to the exam (if an exam is organized). The absence of compulsory duty does not allow a quantified evaluation of the student's work. An "A" grade is therefore awarded in this case (unless there is a specific justification examined with fairness by the teacher and accepted by the latter).
