Syllabus
The aim of the course is to reconsider the basic elements of thermodynamics, heat transfer, humid air, in the view of thermal insulation and energy consumption in buildings, indoor hygrothermal comfort, cooling of buildings, moisture behaviour of building components. The basic elements are integrated with applications and exercises
and with reference to technical standards.
