Learning objectives


Knowledge and understanding capabilities:
At the end of the course, the student will know the different operational solutions for the energy retrofit oriented reuse of existing buildings and will be able to evaluate them from a theoretical-methodological point of view, depending on the possible starting points.

Proficiency:
Through the theoretical analyses and the simple design activities, the student will develop an operational ability to face and solve the many problems of intervening on existing buildings, combining in an interdisciplinary way the aspects of materials, technologies, HVAC systems, aiming at a new design synthesis finalized to the (quantifiable) reduction of energy consumption.

Prerequisites


Applied physics, heat transfer.

Course unit content


The contents cover all the aspects yhat allow to face any energy problem in the building system.

Full programme


Heat transfer in walls. Windows (glass and frame). Condensation in the buildings, Glaser analysis.

Teaching methods


The course is composed of traditional lectures (taught class), also with Powerpoint presentations, and reviews, mainly in the second period.

Assessment methods and criteria


At the end of the laboratory, an oral examination focused on the practical design case examined, will allow to assess the preparation of every single student.

Other information


As for all the laboratories, attending the courses is compulsory.
