Assessment parts:

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

2) Project Report: All aids are permitted.

MABY4200 'Building Physics and Climate Adaptation' and MABYxxx 'Sustainability Assessment and Life-Cycle Analysis' in order to get admission to the course.

Grade scale A-F.;

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
