2. Concept of energy self-sufficient of residental buildings and its influence on architectural design

   Creating a microclimate in buildings is one of the tasks of contemporary architectural design. New requirements for construction offers a new architectural solutions, the use of new technologies and materials. This trend is also reflected in the creation of a project when the architect has less and less time for think, self-reflection feedback evaluation of design.

   Tutor: Meixner Miloslav, doc. Ing., CSc.

4. Environment of buildings and ionic microclimate of buildings in architectural design

   Architects in architectural design increasingly finds inspiration in new designs and technologies, but also in traditional principles and materials. Already in building design architect can greatly affect the microclimate of buildings suitable selection of materials and structures, surfaces and with the method ventilation. With regard to sustainable development, ion microclimate may also be an indicator of a healthy environment and can have a significant impact on the health and psychological well-being.
