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 design sustainable buildings of various typologies (residential, public, etc.) ,
both new construction and renovation
Content (Syllabus outline)
? Sustainable development
? Sustainable aspects of built environment
? Building operation from the viewpoint of energy use
? Sustainable building design
? Climatic concepts
? Energy concepts (heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting)
? Interior environmental quality – living comfort
? Software tools for energy simulation:
Daylight Visualizer, Archicad EcoDesigner, DesignBuilder
? Parametric analysis – influence of variable parameters on building's energy balance
? Sustainable building refurbishment
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures and exercise are carried out with he following teaching methods:
- PowerPoint projection or display,
- debate,
- work with photographs, drawings,
- case study.
Seminar:
- implementation of intermediate presentations with analysis of project work
Exercises are carried out with he following teaching methods:
- individual work / group work,
- learning of software tools usage
Some parts of lectures can be provided by
experts from practice selected by the course lecturer.
Intended learning outcomes - 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,
? assess the state of existing buildings in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability,
? design a sustainable building (in the context of new construction or renovation),
? 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,
? interpret the sustainable aspects of the designed building.
Intended learning outcomes - 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 of buildings.
