The students gain the knowledge enabling them to orientate themselves in the field of energy saving buildings. They get the knowledge of the active and passive use of solar radiation, and get acquainted with the concepts for designing houses with low or passive energy consumption.

In the subject Building construction IV, it is supposed that the students have completed the study of the subjects Building construction I, II, and III. Even if the students have not yet passed the respective exams, this does not hinder them from enrolling for Building construction IV. For successful study, it is considered suitable that the student regularly monitors professional jounals and books on building and architecture. Orientation in foreign
study materials is also welcomed.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

The student has to attend at least 10 tutorials. It is his or her duty to work out all tutorial assignments under conditions defined before the beginning of the smester teaching.
At the same time, the student is subjected to a test, in which his or her understanding oft he subject matter, and the ability to apply the knowledge gained, are verified. After being granted the credit, the student is authorised to take the exmination. It contains assignment from the presented subject matter and recommended literature.

1. Energy-efficient buildings - theoretical basis, categories of energy-efficient houses.
2. Energy-efficient buildings - passive and active use of solar energy in architectural work.
3. Energy efficient buildings - material options, construction of cladding, physical nature, tightness, air exchange.
4. Energy-efficient buildings - relationship of technical equipment and building structures.
5. Renewable energy sources and their influence on design.
6. Protection against the effects of solar thermal load - shielding: shutters, blinds, shutters, sunlamps, cornices, reflective glass.
7. Double transparent climatic facade.
8. Underground architecture - energy aspects, relation to the environment. Ecological buildings of technical infrastructure.
9. Earthwork.
10. Structures protected by plumbing products.
11. Designing structures in buildings with wet and wet operation.
12. Fire protection of buildings I.
13. Fire protection of buildings II.
