Lectures, exercises and group project.

MABY4200 Building Physics and Climate Adaptation of Buildings.

MABY4300 Sustainability Assessment and Life-cycle Analysis, or courses with an equivalent learning outcome.

The following work requirements must be approved or admission to the exam:

• Three individual exercises, each on two to four pages.

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 sufficiently advanced knowledge of building physics, complex climate impacts and building materials to be able to develop and propose climate-adapted, robust and innovative solutions

· is capable of assessing climate adaptation solutions for building envelopes and components

· has advanced insight into the properties of building materials, not least about emissions, energy demand and CO2 emissions in connection with production, and their durability, service life and degradation processes

· has specialised knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of building materials and the optimum combination of different materials with a view to maximising the building-s energy efficiency, sustainability and service life

· is capable of combining building physics and sustainability principles to achieve an environmentally sound building design.

Skills:

The student is capable of:

· explaining relevant standards and requirements for building materials and components, and assessing documentation from manufacturers/suppliers

· combining analysis methods for building physics calculations and life-cycle assessments in the choice of materials, components and design

· criticising and justifying these choices in relation to complex phenomena that arise between a building and the outdoor/indoor climate

· planning and creating a comprehensive and environmentally sound building design, including a description of the materials and components used in the building envelope

· interpreting simulation tool results to revise and optimise the proposed design

· assessing the quality and condition of materials and components in existing buildings, and any maintenance and replacement needs.

General competence:

The student is capable of:

• using scholarly articles to keep up with latest developments in the field
• working in teams
• presenting results in a scholarly, professional manner with the help of written reports and oral presentations.

1. ;A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication. If the calculator's internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be made.;
2. All aids.;

Graded scale A-F

1) Individual written exam (three hours), weighted 40%.

2) Project report prepared in groups of 2-3 students, approx. 20-30 pages, with presentation, weighted 60%.

All assessment parts must be awarded a pass grade (E or better) in order for the student to pass the course. Students must be awarded an E or better for their project report to be allowed to take the written exam. In the event of a resit or rescheduled individual written exam, oral examination may be used instead. If oral exams are used for resit and rescheduled exams, the result cannot be appealed.

Assessment parts: 1) can be appealed, 2) cannot be appealed

Assessment part:

1) All printed and written aids and a calculator that cannot be used to communicate with others.

2) all aids

MAEN/MAEND4200 Energy use and indoor climate, MAEN/MAEND4500 Heating and cooling in buildings and MAEN/MAEND4600 Ventilation Design.

1) One internal examiner, 2) Two internal examiners

External examiners are used regularly.
