Institute of Building Structures (PST)

Students will acquire advanced knowledge of thermal science. Will be able to design structures according to the requirements of compulsory standards with the exclusion of thermal defects or failures. Verify the thermal comfort and low energy consumption of the proposed building and the basic principles of design of stable building structures.

Basic knowledge of mathematics, knowledge of the fundamental physical constants and thermal properties of building materials, the emergence of sound, basic concepts of wave, the physical parameters of sound, the sound field variables, basic photometry, basic concepts of the theory of elasticity - stress, principal stress, strain, relative strain, Hooke's law.

Not applicable.

The course is created through lectures, practical classes and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at classes is compulsory.
