Learning outcomes of the course unit

Be able to work with software for thermal engineering calculations.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of the bases of building construction and building physics processes taking place in building structures. Knowledge of computing and software control of MS Office. Basic knowledge of mathematics and physics.

Co-requisites

Knowledge of mathematics and physics, work with CAD systems and with PC, basics of technical equipment of buildings.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. In a fun way, to provide students with practical experience while working on thermal technical evaluations. Show the possibilities of the work environment in these programs and practice basic examples.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Successful conclusion of the course requiers:
- completing exercises with compulsory attendance,
- elaboration of all assignments,
- granting credit.

Course curriculum

The subject only has exercises, so the syllabus is dealt with in the exercise section.

Work placements

Work placements are not required in this type of course. It is suitable if the student already has some practical experience (job in a design office where he solved similar tasks).

Aims

The graduate will get an overview of the basic issues of modeling details. The graduate will be able to:
- working with different types of software,
- familiarize with basic problems of building physics,
- learn to assess building physics problems in 1D and 2D,
- assess the touch temperature drop,
- establish linear and spot thermal transmittance,
- evaluate the simulations performed.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

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

Recommended optional programme components

It is possible to cooperate on the projects focused on the assessment of the construction detail.
