Objectives and competences
The objective of this course is for students to understand specific concepts of sustainable building design, which presents a base for them to be able to evaluate sustainable buildings of various typologies (residential, public, etc.) , both new construction and renovation, and to design measures that contribute to the improvement of qualitative and quantitative sustainability indicators.
Content (Syllabus outline)
? Sustainable concept – energy concept
? Building operation from the viewpoint of energy use
? Legislation (directives, rules, standards)
? Energy efficient building design
? Climatic concepts
? Active and passive energy concepts (heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting)
? Aspect of sustainability (materials, enviromental impact, lifecycle analysis)
? Sustainable renovation of existing energy inneficient buildings
? Software tools for energy simulation
? Parametric analysis – influence of variable parameters on building's energy balance

Some parts of lectures can be provided by
experts from practice selected by the course lecturer
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
Knowledge and understanding:
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
? describe the concepts of sustainable building design,
? explain the difference between energy-efficient and sustainable buildings,
? link the effects of the choice of materials and design parameters in the context of given climatic and socio-economic conditions on the sustainability of the building,
? analyze and assess the state of existing buildings in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability,
? propose a design concept of a sustainable building,
? argue the choice of building renovation measures and explain their impact on energy efficiency, as well as on the ecological, economic and social aspects of sustainability,
? evaluate the energy efficiency of the designed building.
Transferable / Key Skills and other attributes:
? Communication skills: oral defence of a seminar paper, intermediate presentations of a seminar paper.
? Use of information technology: use of tools for design and calculation of energy efficiency and indoor environment quality (visual comfort) of buildings.
