The basic subject of building thermal protection. Thermal comfort in buildings, solving of the thermal balance equation. Ways of the thermal transport. Thermal insulating properties of building materials. The design and evaluation of building structures in relation to thermal steady state conditions, multidimensional heat conduction (thermal bridges), unsteady thermal state conditions, a surface condensation and a vapour diffusion and condensation inside of building constructions. Thermal room stability in summer and winter period. Energetic evaluation of buildings. Measuring instruments and methods in building thermal protection.
Students complete a comprehensive thermal insulating design, evaluation of building envelopes and internal constructions including the thermal stability in individual assigned problems.
