Institute of Building Structures (PST)

After completing the course, students will be familiar with the principles of sustainable building and principle of multi-criteria assessment of buildings. Students will master the principles of barrier-free design of buildings. Students will understand the methodology of life cycle assessment. Finally, students will be able to design buildings using renewable and recycled building materials. Students will be able to assess residential buildings according to the methodology SBToolCZ.

Good theoretical knowledge of building physics and fundamentals of building construction designing are the assumption for an understanding of the course content. General knowledge of common construction materials is necessary as well.

- calculation of energy performance of buildings

Teaching the lectures is in the form of Powerpoint presentation with teachers commentary. For better illustration the interpretation is completed with samples of building materials. The students works on individual assignments and consult them with the teacher.

Successful completion of the course is conditional on participation in seminars and execution of multi-criteria assessment of selected building.

1. Literature listing, elementary terms, legislation, conception of sustainable development and sustainable construction.
2. Agenda 21 – contexts, field of application, goals
3. The main issues and tasks of sustainable construction
4. Building indoor microclimate – thermal-moisture, acoustic, odour, luminous, electrical, toxically, psychical and aerosol
5. Health-friendly building constructions, toxic matter pollution (emissions CO2, SO2, NOx, etc.), building construction impact to indoor microclimate, environment
6. Energy demand of building construction process. Material sources and primary energy savings.
7. Ecology in building industry, industrial waste disposal applicable in building industry, recycling, properties and utilization of recycled materials
8. Alternative material and construction design on the base of renewable material sources, overview, basic physical properties
9. Examples of alternative construction types of buildings, loam buildings, timber structures, straw buildings
10. Energy demand of buildings during their use, alternatives of energy demand reduction, low-energy and passive houses, design principles, examples
11. Energy sources and their environmental impacts, alternative energy sources, solar energy, wind power, biomass energy, heat pumps
12. Strategy of the sustainable urban development, reconstructions, building modernization and revitalization
13. Methodology of building sustainable classification

Not applicable.

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the conception of sustainable development and sustainable building. Indivisible part of the course is the issue of energy demand during realization and use of a building. Students are acquainted with alternative material and construction designs with application of recycled construction materials.

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