After completing the course, students will be familiar with the principles of sustainable building and principle of multi-criteria assessment of buildings. Students will master the principles of barrier-free design of buildings. Students will understand the methodology of life cycle assessment. Finally, students will be able to design buildings using renewable and recycled building materials. Students will be able to assess residential buildings according to the methodology SBToolCZ.

Good theoretical knowledge of building physics and fundamentals of building construction designing are the assumption for an understanding of the course content. General knowledge of common construction materials is necessary as well.

- calculation of energy performance of buildings

Not applicable.

Teaching the lectures is in the form of Powerpoint presentation with teachers commentary. For better illustration the interpretation is completed with samples of building materials. The students works on individual assignments and consult them with the teacher.

Successful completion of the course is conditional on participation in seminars and execution of multi-criteria assessment of selected building.
