Campus / Online:Taught campus Ås

Teaching language:Norsk

Course frequency:Annually

Nominal workload:For a course of 10 credits, 250 hours of work in total is normally to be expected. That means that in addition to structured teaching, ca. 15 hours of work must be expected per week.

About this course

The course is based on TBA190 (Wooden Buildings) and will cover some of the topics introduced there more thoroughly and related to commercial buildings. Special emphasis is placed on indoor climate, ventilation and energy conservation in buildings. In addition the course includes accustic performance and energy supply systems.

Learning outcome

The students are to acquire knowledge of the most important principles of good house building technique. Through knowledge of the physics of buildings, the most important building materials and technical building systems (AVHC), the students should be able to design the various parts of houses and simple commersiell buildings. Sustainability is handled by the BREEAM-method.
