Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

4

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Basic orientation in the problems of building construction and building physics necessary for simple technical description of individual building components, constructions and objects in terms of real estate activity.

Prerequisites

Basic general knowledge at level of bachelor´s degree graduate.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching is carried out through lectures and seminars. Lectures consist of interpretations of basic principles, methodology of given discipline, problems and their exemplary solutions. Seminars particularly support practical mastery of subject matter presented in lectures or assigned for individual study with the active participation of students.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Graded credit: participation in seminars, compliance of set tasks.
Exam: The written part is crucial, in case of lack of clarity in written part, oral part will follow, ECTS classification.

Course curriculum

1. Introduction to subject, basic terminology, principles of building designing, general legislation.
2. Foundation constructions - surface and underground foundations. Functions, classification, materials, principles of designing, examples. Water proofing, protection against radon.
3. Vertical bearing structures - wall (brickwork, monolithic, prefabricated), skeletal (monolithic, prefabricated). Functions, classification, materials, principles of designing and executing, examples.
4. Horizontal bearing structures - ceilings, balconies, loggias, ledges, window bays - functions, classification, materials, principles of designing and executing, examples.
5. Structures connecting levels of different height - stairs, ramps, lifts, ladders - Functions, classification, materials, principles of designing and executing, examples.
6. Roof structures - flat roofs (warm deck, cold roof), ramped (oblique, step roof) - Functions, classification, materials, principles of designing and executing, examples.
7. Non-bearing structures - external claddings (self-supporting, hanging structures), partitions (brickwork, monolithic, prefabricated) - functions, classification, materials, principles of designing and executing, examples.
8. Opening filling - windows, doors, gates; finishing – plasters, floors, soffite - functions, classification, materials, principles of designing and executing, examples.
9. Thermal engineering - requirements on buildings from the point of view of thermal protection and low energy demand, heat transfer coefficient, the lowest indoor surface temperature.
10. Humidity - water steam condensing on surface and inside of construction. Elimination of heat bridges – non-contact diagnostics, options of solution, examples.
11. Acoustics - sound and impact sound transmission loss - requirements, evaluation. Noise evaluation.
12. Daylighting - daylight factor - requirements, evaluation. How to make sunny housing and leisure areas.
