Learning outcomes of the course unit

Student after completion of lectures in-class exercises can theoretically apply lessons learned in previous lessons from the field of thermal engineering, acoustics and daylighting. Using computer technology will solve a given problem, analyze the results and carry out the evaluation. The knowledge gained in this course can be used in further studies in the diploma thesis, or in practice when assessing structures and internal environment in terms of thermal engineering,'s lighting and sound. It is able to optimize the energy performance of the building and optimization of thermal, acoustic and visual comfort indoors.

Prerequisites

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.
