Course detail

Environment and Energy Buildings

FA-PESAcad. year: 2015/2016

Subject is connected with the topic of building environment and properties of building structures - thermal control and energy, acoustics and lighting. Impact is set upon energy efficiency and its evaluation regarding present legislative and relation of energy efficiency discipline to building-physical one. Energy Law and its taking into consideration in the design of new buildings and reconstructions. Duties of an author of a project documentation from the point of view of guarantee of internal microclimate in buildings.
