Building Physics I
FAST-AH05Acad. year: 2011/2012
Thermal protection of buildings deals with the protection of buildings against an influence of otdoor climate changes. The assessment of thermal properties of building constructions and energy conscious design limit technical defects and deficiencies and give the possibility for indoor thermal comfort and low-energy consumption in buildings.

2. Steady state heat flux, U-value determination.
3. Temperature profile for steady state conditions.
4. Influence of a reflective (aluminium) foil on U-value of the structure with non-ventilated air cavity.
5. Surface properties -risk of a surface condensation and mould grows, critical surface temperature and humidity, dew point temperature.
