Course detail
Special Insulations
FAST-BJ013Acad. year: 2023/2024
The contents is connected with preceding problems of building insulations and forms for interested persons an improvement of knowledge in studied problems. In the framework of the course special information will be presented concerning moisture propagation and defects of building structures caused by moisture effect on building materials. The application of building insulation in building objects includes the base for efficient use of insulations and it is connected with non-traditional utilization of energetic resources for heating of buildings and for the solution of buildings with low energy consumption.
The following tutorials have laboratory-, calculation- and partially design character.
