Reports of building acoustics and daylighting and insolation tasks.
Tasks from reports will be applicable in study projects.

Fundamentals in building design and building physics - acoustics and optics.

Lectures on the introduction into the building acoustics and daylighting and insolation.
Practices - reports and consultations.

Final evaluation on basis of consulted and completed reports and passed exam. Classification according to ECTS degree at the BUT Brno.
