An environmental control approach within the context of sustainability and ecology/energy counciousness.
Optimisation within different design parameters; such as microclimate, building orientation, plan organisation, building envelope, building comfort sy
Comprehension and evaluation of building envelope related functions, problems and solutions, supported by basic principles and concepts of building ph
Within the context of sustainability, the aim is to bring a new generation of architects with energy and ecology conscious design strategies
• Energy efficient, ecological building design with climate based strategies supported with acknowledgement of basic bulding physics principles,
• Functions, problems and solutions of building envelope as well as envelope design according to TS 825
