In the course we deal with basic knowledge of the technological aspects of climate protections. Principles of building physics, materials and technological solutions are explored through theoretical and practical exercises.
The course is divided into two modules:
Module 1: Climate Protection as Façade (1,5 credits) Module 2: Principles for Climate Protection (1,5 credits)
Expected learning outcomes
For a passing result, the student should be able to:
Knowledge and understanding
Analyse the climate protection as a part of the architectural design
Competence and skills
Apply building physical principals for climate protection in detailed studies
Judgment and approach
Describe the importance of climate protection
Required Knowledge
To qualify for this course the following courses (or comparable courses) are required: Architecture Project 1:1 (15 credits) History of Architecture 1:1 (6 credits) Architectural Technology 1:1 (3 credits) Theory of Architecture 1:1 (6 credits) Architecture Project 1:2 (15 credits) Architectural Technology 1:2 (3 credits) Theory of Architecture 1:2 (6 credits) History of Architecture 1:2 (6 credits)
Form of instruction
The instruction consists of lectures, seminars, workshops and group exercises.
Examination modes
The course is examined through a oral and written presentation of a practical exercise.
The grades Pass (G) and Fail (U) are used. To pass the course, all examinations and mandatory modules need to be completed and assigned a Pass grade. To pass requires attendance at the instructor-led teaching that is of assessing nature and a Pass grade on all mandatory oral, written and practical assignments.
Examiners may decide to deviate from the modes of assessment in the course syllabus. Individual adaption of modes of assessment must give due consideration to the student's needs. The adaption of modes of assessment must remain within the framework of the intended learning outcomes in the course syllabus. Students who require an adapted examination must submit a request to the department holding the course no later than 10 days before the examination. The examiner decides on the adaption of the examination, after which the student will be notified.
Students who have achieved a pass are not permitted to retake an examination. Students who do not pass an examination have the right to retake examinations. The date of the retake must be notified no later than the date of the regular examination. The first opportunity to retake an examination is to be offered no later than two months after the regular examination, but no earlier than 10 working days after students have been notified of the results of the regular examination. For examinations held in May and June, the first opportunity to retake the examination is to be offered within three months of the regular examination session. In addition, at least one further re-examination is offered within a year from the regular exam date.
A student who has taken a regular examination and retake in a course or a part of a course without obtaining a pass grade is entitled to request the appointment of another examiner or marking teacher, unless there are special reasons to the contrary. Students should address any such request to the director of studies or equivalent.
Other regulations
In the event of a course syllabus being withdrawn or undergoing major changes, students are guaranteed at least three examination opportunities (including the regular examination session) in accordance with the previous course syllabus during a maximum of two years from the expiry of the course syllabus or the discontinuation of the course.
