Course detail

Computer Aided Building Physics Application

FAST-CH003Acad. year: 2023/2024

Real recovery software for Building Physics in the design and construction assessment in accordance with applicable legislation.
In particular, the assessment of structures in terms of thermal and acoustic techniques
Verification of thermal comfort, sound and light microclimate of buildings.
The calculation and design is to optimize the structural design of the building envelope and the doors and windows, including the resolution of structural details.

Guarantor

Ing. Karel Čupr, CSc.

Department

Institute of Building Structures (PST)

Entry knowledge

Theoretical knowledge from the area of thermal physics and daylighting of building including computational procedures. Knowledge of material properties and designs of structure details. Basic knowledge of valid legislation.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Aims

Students will gain skills that permit a deeper understanding of multimedia issues in terms of construction design, thermal fault elimination and ensuring low energy consumption of buildings. A part of the course will be an optimisation of void infill elements from a point of view of thermal comfort of a room, interior daylighting and insolation.
By attending the course the students will learn how to properly design building structures by eliminating the sources of failures and defects with the means of computer simulation programs. They will be taught how to design buildings with low-energy demands meeting the thermal indoor comfort conditions, together with the correct utilization of solar gains through openings which also satisfy the requirements given by the standards and regulations of daylighting design.
