After successful completion of the course, students are able to...
... apply basic radiation, heat, moisture and sound transmission processes to simple tasks in the building physics planning of buildings.... calculate the heat demand, the thermal comfort in summer and the cooling demand.... analyze room acoustics of frequently occurring rooms and to plan improvements.... calculate the entry for ambient noise and noise from neighboring utility units in a simplified way.... formulate the requirements for fire protection up to building class 5 and to name fire protection component properties.... apply design rules for permanent designs to typical component leads and analyze the fault tolerance of designs.

written and oral exam
presence or if necessary online
With 2023S, the examination procedure of the VO will be redesigned.
The oral exam must then be completed within the next 4 oral exam dates after the written one. If you are ill on the registered date - please inform us with a medical confirmation. Then the appointments during your sick leave do not count.
If you do not take part in the oral examination within the four dates, the examination will be assessed as unsatisfactory.
This regulation applies from March 1st, 2023.
Anyone who has successfully completed a positive written exam BEFORE March 1st, 2023 must take one of the four oral exams offered after March 1st. In case of illness - see above.
