Computer Aided Building Physics Application

FAST-AH053Acad. year: 2020/2021

Software for Building Physics is widely used in the design and assessment of structures to comply with the mandatory requirements of applicable legislation. In particular, the design of structures in terms of thermal and energy characteristics, the assessment of thermal comfort of environment in buildings, optimization of the selection of structures, including doors and windows in terms of acoustics and day-lighting. Knowledge of and ability to use relevant programs in the field of building physics allows optimal material selection and design of structures.
