After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the application of concepts of building physics onto building design and construction. Basic principles of building performance evaluation have been trained, e.g. the Austrian building energy certification.

Exercises in building physics:

• energy, thermal and hygric calculation & simulation
• methods and tools
• measurement methods in building physics
• excursions

• Application of manual and in-part-IT-supported assessment methods and calculations (hygrothermal performance of Buildings).
• Application of building energy certification software onto buildings (heating demand, cooling demand, etc.
• Application of knowledge-based methods for optimization of building design and building constructions from a building-physics point of view.
