ØABED1100 Managerial Accounting I Course description

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

The student:

• has advanced knowledge of physical, thermal, hygric, mechanical and other properties of wood and timber products
• has advanced knowledge of wood technology and timber building construction.
• is capable of giving an account of standards and requirements for timber buildings and structures with regard to building physics, fire design, acoustics and structural analysis.
• is capable of assessing climate adaptation solutions for building envelopes and components in timber buildings.
• has specialized knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of wood as building material as well as the optimum combination of timber with other buildings materials.
• is capable of taking the reuse potential of timber products into a life cycle assessment.

Skills:

The student is capable of:

• using analysis methods and calculation tools related to hygrothermal performance, sound proofing and fire resistance of timber building components, according to TEK17 and relevant Norwegian standards, e.g. NS 3516, NS 3512 osv.
• designing common building components and building based on Eurocode 5
• explaining relevant standards and requirements for building materials and components, and assessing documentation from manufacturers/suppliers.
• combining analysis methods for building physics, structural engineering, fire design, acoustics and life-cycle assessments in the choice of materials, components and design.
• criticizing and justifying choices of materials, components and design in relation to climate-related and other loads as well as the building type and use.
• planning and creating a comprehensive sustainable timber building design, including a description of the materials and components used in the building envelope, the load bearing system and the internal building elements.
• interpreting simulation tool results to revise and optimize the proposed design

General competence:

The student is capable of:

• explaining the background for user-related, societal and environmental requirements for buildings.
• applying relevant regulations, instructions and documentation.
• presenting results in a scholarly, professional manner with the help of written reports and oral presentations.
• using scholarly articles to keep up with latest developments in the field
• working in teams

Emnet bygger på Grunnleggende årsregnskap med Excel.

The teaching consists of physical and digital lectures, demonstration of software and exercises. In addition, a project assignment will be given in which the students are to perform analytical and simulation-based calculations of the performance of a timber building in connection with different engineering aspects.

Digital lectures will be recorded, and the material will be made available to students on CANVAS.

All 3 reports must be delivered within the respective deadlines (during the semester) so that the portfolio (that consists of the 3 reports) can be assessed.

Portfolio that consists of 3 reports that have been submitted within respective deadlines during the semester. The students will work in groups of 2.

The overall assessment can be appealed.

For å kunne framstille seg til eksamen må studenten ha følgende godkjente arbeidskrav:

• Arbeidskrav: Studenten må gjennomføre digitale prøver og få godkjent minst 4 av 6 prøver. Prøvene er fordelt utover semesteret. Fra prøven aktiveres gis studentene inntil én uke på å fullføre prøven. Hver prøve vil ha et omfang på inntil 2 timer. Studenten har 3 forsøk på å bestå hver prøve, og resultatet gis automatisk ved prøvens slutt. Faglærer vil opplyse om utlevering og innleveringsfrister.

Formålet med arbeidskravet er å forberede studentene til eksamen og arbeidslivet ved å gi dem relevant trening i oppgaveløsning i Excel.

Arbeidskrav må være gjennomført og godkjent innen fastlagt frist for at studenten skal kunne framstille seg til eksamen.

Graded scale A-F.

One internal examiners.

External examiners are used regularly.

The goal of the course is to provide the students in-depth insight into timber engineering and technology, with focus on building structures. In particular, the course combines knowledge from different fields, such as wood technology, building physics, structural engineering and life cycle assessment.

In particular, the following topics are addressed:

• wood properties and technology
• building process and construction site
• hygrothermal performance of wood-based building elements and timber buildings
• fire resistance of timber products and fire design in timber buildings
• acoustics in timber buildings
• load bearing timber engineered products and structural systems
• life cycle assessment
• reuse of wood
• conservation of wood
