Institute of Building Structures (PST)

After completing the course, students will be familiar with the principles of sustainable building and principle of multi-criteria assessment of buildings. Students will master the principles of barrier-free design of buildings. Students will understand the methodology of life cycle assessment. Finally, students will be able to design buildings using renewable and recycled building materials. Students will be able to assess residential buildings according to the methodology SBToolCZ.

Good theoretical knowledge of building physics and fundamentals of building construction designing are the assumption for an understanding of the course content. General knowledge of common construction materials is necessary as well.

- calculation of energy performance of buildings

Teaching the lectures is in the form of Powerpoint presentation with teachers commentary. For better illustration the interpretation is completed with samples of building materials. The students works on individual assignments and consult them with the teacher.

Successful completion of the course is conditional on participation in seminars and execution of multi-criteria assessment of selected building.

2. Agenda 21, the context and scope, the objectives of Agenda 21 for sustainable building.
3. The principle of multi-criteria assessment of buildings.
4.-5. Multi-criteria assessment of buildings by use the methodology SBToolCZ.
6. The life cycle of the product, life cycle assessment.
7. Environmental labeling, eco-design.
8. Ecology in building, industrial wastes utilized in the construction, recycling means, recycled materials properties and their applications in building construction.
9. Environmental criteria for the selection of building materials, alternative materials and construction design based on renewable resources and recycled materials, overview, basic physical properties.
10. Thermal stability of the rooms and the use of passive cooling in buildings civil engineering.
11. Energy performance of buildings, ways to reduce energy consumption, low-energy and passive houses, design principles and examples.
12. Energy sources and their impact on the environment, alternative energy, solar energy, wind, biomass, heat pumps.
13. Disabled use of buildings - requirements and examples.
