Aims

Aim of the subject is introduction for modelling in building physics and energy technics. Acquired knowledge will be used for modelling of physical phenomenas in building constructions focused on the heat transfer, hygro-thermal processes in building materilas emboded in building constructions and air flows for non-stationary boundary conditions corresponding with the dynamic climatic changes of outdoor conditions and with operation of buildings.
