After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

.. use simplified calculation methods for energy efficiency; durability and thermal comfort assessment.

.. use a hygrothermal component simulation (liquid water transport, convection, diffusion; heat conduction) for three-dimensional building constructions to calculate the hygrothermal behaviour and the risk of frost damage; rotting of biogenous materials and mold.

.. to collect the legal framework for a specific construction with relevance to building physics.

.. develop building constructions taking into account building physics aspects (fire protection, sound insulation, minimizing the risk of moisture damage) for timber based construction.

The lecture is a continuation of the lecture "Building Physics".

Contents:

-         Air, moisture and heat transport in building components

-         Description of indoor climate and microclimate at the building site

-         Moisture-related damage processes (mold formation, ice formation, hygr. Length change)

-         Flow processes in buildings components

-         Hygrothermal component simulation and assessment of results 

Introductory lectures; Practical task close to reality; Calculations and simulations.

Please join the tuwel course before the course starts
and carry out the tasks in the course topic "Wiederholung".
