MABY4200 Building Physics and Climate Adaptation of Buildings.

MABY4700 Life Cycle Assessment for Built Environment.

Or courses with an equivalent learning outcome.

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:

• understands the application of digital twins, machine learning, and optimization techniques in sustainable building design.
• has advanced knowledge of building physics, climate impacts, and building materials to propose robust and innovative solutions.
• can evaluate climate adaptation solutions for building envelopes and components.
• has insight into the physical and thermal properties of building materials and their life cycle impacts.
• is knowledgeable about embodied and operational emissions from buildings and strategies to reduce them.
• understands the integration of sustainability principles and advanced tools to create environmentally sound building designs.

Skills:

The student is capable of:

• Applying digital twins and machine learning to predict energy performance and occupant comfort.
• using LCA and GA optimization to enhance design sustainability and efficiency.
• analyzing and justifying choices for materials and components based on building physics calculations and life-cycle assessments.
• designing comprehensive sustainable building envelopes with detailed descriptions of materials and components.
• interpreting simulation tool results to improve and optimize designs.
• assessing the condition and maintenance needs of materials and components in existing buildings.

General competence:

The student is capable of:

• keeping up with the latest advancements through scholarly research.
• collaborating effectively in teams to address complex design challenges.
• presenting findings and designs in a professional and scholarly manner through written reports.

The teaching will largely consist of digital and physical lectures, software demonstration and exercises. Students will also be given a major project assignment in which they are to design an sustainable building with regards to building physics, climate adaptation, energy efficiency and indoor environment as well as CO2 emissions.

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