Learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe the conditions for sustainable management of historic buildings and explain what these mean for a given building,
- describe antiquarian and construction risks and take them into account when planning energy efficiency measures in historic buildings,
- apply a systematic approach to assess different types of energy measures,
- propose ways to ensure that requirements for indoor climate are met,
- describe different principles for climate control and make an appropriate choice for a given building,
- independently complete a project related to energy efficiency of a historic building.
Content
Sustainable management historic buildings: Economy, use, environment and conservation. Antiquarian and construction risks. Indoor climate. Methods for the evaluation of energy efficiency measures. Case studies. Specialisation within a selected sub-field in the form of a project work.
Instruction
Seminars and supervision of project work.
Assessment
Active participation in seminars and oral and written presentation of the completed project.
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
