Important for Master of Building Science Students:

This lecture is part of Modul 1/first semester of the curriculum of Master of Building Science. Modul 1 needs to be sucessful completed to be able to attend certain courses of the second semester. Therefore, please ensure to take the exam in time!

Important for incoming Erasmus-Students:

• The motive for taking this course should be interest in the matter, not the fact that the course is held in english

• written exam based on the presented and discussed content.

Please register (easy communication, automated access to Tuwel-courses of registered lectures, ...). Email-Communication with lecturers only via lecture2593@tuwien.ac.at.

Registration is possible for Students of Building Science.

Students that applied successfully for Master Architecture's MODUL Advanced Building Physics will be automatically registered for the course (after end of application phase for Modules)

Others, who are interested in particiapation can write their interest to lecture2593@tuwien.ac.at, or simply visit the first unit. However, participation is only possible if enough ressources are free.
