The purpose of this course
The objective is that the student after completion of the course shall be:
- Have a basic understanding of the construction of physical processes relating to the transport of heat and moisture
- Be able to identify and analyze the simpler building physical problems.
- To set up an energy balance in a building and manage different methods with which the calculations and with the computer programs.
- Have sufficient knowledge to analyze the design principles of the construction and U-value through the wall of the inner and outer roof.
- To be able to evaluate an existing building savings potential for energy losses, rank of improvement measures and describe the consequences on the indoor climate, the risks of moisture damage and profitability calculations.
Course content and implementation:
- The theoretical part includes:
- The principle of building construction technology
- Physics for Heat transport in buildings.
- The Physics of the moisture transport in buildings.
- Energy calculations for the house.
- Design Builder software:
Simulation work (including case study) will be performed in the Design Builder Software (Http://www.designbuilder.co.uk/). Design Builder is very easy to use and is used as a professional engineering tools (not just a tool for research on the global market. Design Builder is a very user-friendly interface and is easy to learn.
In the case study teach students drawing geometry, define the walls and ceilings, as well as calculating the U-value, energy balance and find the optimal solution for the energy consumption, indoor air quality and HVAC system (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). This will be an important part of the course as a whole.
Design Builder is a mathematical modeling tools that help the student to solve complex mathematical equations around the Heat and Mass Transfer and energy balance without the trainee will need to be very skilled in this area.
Educational results
By the end of the course the student to know and understand:
- Interpretation of the Drawings
- The Physics of the building (heater, air and moisture transport)
- Building technology
- Energy Technologies
- Technology for indoor climate control
- Measuring and testing technology
- Energy rationalization measures
- Fire protection
- The cost-benefit analysis
- Utility for Calculations
The course is conducted through lectures, counting exercises and computer labs with Design Builder software. It contains an extensive work (case study). In addition to the scheduled lectures, arithmetical exercise and datoraborationerna required self study. The work with the case study is mainly carried out by means of self-studies and in group (up to a maximum of 3 students) with Design Builder software (which will be provided in the course). Project Report on case study will be an important part of the final examinations.
Course books:
- Practical house construction technology (PHBT) Kenneth Sandin, ISBN: 9789144048796.
- Practical building physics (PDB) Kenneth Sandin, ISBN: 9789144059914.
- Practical building physics trainee booklet (ÖPBF) Kenneth Sandin, ISBN: 9789144059891.
- Design Builder manual ( PDF version will be available)
- Lecture notes will be distributed in PDF format.
All books are available to buy from Student Literature AB. Older corresponding course books can be used.
Note for international students: All text books are in Swedish, the course language is also Swedish, However, for international courses the handout material in English will be delivered. Some text books in English will also be recomended
The examination form for project work
The exam and project reports from the case study. The project report should include:
- The geometry of the building
- The design of the building ( Material, U-value).
- Energy Balance
- Environmental impact ( indoor air quality)
- Action proposals for optimal solution based on the autoconf was manufactured design, energy consumption and climate impacts (internal environment and the impact on the external environment).
Rating step
The IG, G AND VG
Criteria for the grade “approved” (G)
For the grade ‘approved’ requires that the student through surveys and case study should be able to produce basic knowledge of the building’s physical shape on the transport of heat and moisture and to identify and analyze easier building physical problems. The student should be able to set up an energy balance in a building and be able to manage the different methods including calculations by hand and with computer programs. The student must also have knowledge of loads and design principles for building construction.
Criteria for rating well approved” (VG)
For rating well approved’ requires that the student will be able to assess an existing building savings potential for energy losses, rank improvement measures and describe the consequences on the indoor climate, assess the risks for the Moisture damage and to be able to perform calculations of profitability.
The criteria for “Non-approved” (IG)
The student shows the inadequate results in relation to the requirements for this course.
Further work is required in order to meet the objectives of education and training.
Examinations and the determination of ratings
IG-rating, “G”, and “VG” is obtained by written exams, project work and oral presentation of the project work. All measures must at least have the grade “G” to final grades in the course shall be obtained.
Written exam consists of the theoretical part and ratings are translated by the IG”, or “G”. In order to be approved for the course required rating G on the theoretical part. The grade G on the theoretical part corresponds to ۷۰% correct answered the questions. In this part of the investigation PHBT AND PDB can be used. The training manual (ÖPBF ) MAY NOT BE USED. Theory and calculation part of the exam informed and the student need not be approved at one and the same time on each part. This means that once passed one of the components you need only meet the second part at the exam.
Final Grades of the course is determined by the exam, project work and oral presentation of the project work. Project work and presentation should be carried out prior to the expiry of the time limit, otherwise, no one points out.
