Aims

Aim of the subject is acquaint students with requirements and methods of classification of indoor climate quality. Within the theory of the built environment are obtained theoretical knowledge about different types of climates effected living and working environment in buildings. With the support of simplified calculation methods and numerical methods of simulation students are able to evaluate and analyse quality and health aspects of indoor climate and environment in buildings.
