| Aim: To give the students a thorough knowledge of the building envelope's significance for keeping a good thermal indoor climate with the least consumption of energy, and an understanding of how the choice of materials and configuration of structures influence the thermal resistance and moisture conditions of the building envelope. To enable the students to carry out a hygrothermal specification of the building components that form part of the building envelope, set up and calculate transient heat and moisture balances for building components, spaces and buildings, and to teach the students about measuring techniques and devices used in thermal building physics. |
| Contents: Calculation of energy consumption for heating of spaces and buildings. Computer program for buildings with many spaces (zones) and systems for heating, cooling, and ventilation. Theory of transient and multidimensional heat transport. Computational models transient thermal analysis of buildings. Analysis of the influence of the building envelope on indoor climate and energy consumtion. The dynamic thermal properties of building components. Analyses of thermal bridges. The hygrothermal properties of the building envelope. Advanced moisture transport theory (moisture accumulation, capillary transport, convection). Computational models for transient analysis of moisture conditions of building components. The composition of the building envelope in dwellings and commercial buildings. Insulation of technical systems at high and low temperatures. |
