The content is presented in oral lectures. During the semester, students work on and consult a seminar paper on a selected topic agreed by the lecturer.

Evaluation consists of submission of seminar paper and end-of-course written test which covers the topics of the whole semester. Students submit it in electronic format (PDF) and consult the seminar paper with the lecturer throughout the semester. The final written test covers the topics presented at the lectures; and to complete the test successfully, students need to get at least 50 % of the total number of marks.

1. Introduction, overview of current legislation, concepts and trends in energy performance of buildings and indoor environment
2. Summary of construction and building physics requirements applied on buildings in order to provide required quality of indoor environment - HVAC, acoustics, daylighting and insolation
3. The concept of low energy, passive and nearly zero energy building; the legislation and requirements
4. Energy performance of buildings in terms of general technical requirements on construction - energy performance certificate of building, energy performance certification of buildings in CR and other countries
5. The Energy Management Act, energy assessment and its application in subsidized projects
6. Alternative sources of energy and their impact on the total energy balance of a building, economic efficiency of energy saving measures and selected building technologies
7. Structure as an essential component of architecture
8. Outline of the structural systems of the 19th and 20th century
9. Structural systems of the 21st century
10. Extreme structures in terms of vertical and horizontal dimensions
11. Design of bridge structure - substructure (material, concept, solution, design requirements)
12. Beam, arch, suspended and cable-stayed bridges I
13. Beam, arch, suspended and cable-stayed bridges II

1. The course presents the topic of building environment in the context of relevant disciplines: energy performance, acoustics and lighting. It focuses on the energy performance in relation to the current legislation, and on the integration of energy performance and building physics disciplines. Also the Energy Management Act and its application when designing new buildings and renovations is presented.
2. It is the mission of architects to contribute by the knowledge of terminology, structural system, and requirements of technical solution to the realisation of buildings, including bridges. The knowledge gained in this course should complete the information in this field. The principal part of the course will be focused on the bridge structures in architecture in order to introduce existing possibilities of the design with regards to material capacities and the significance of the selection of the structural system.

Participation at lectures is not compulsory.
