Course Content (Syllabus)
The course aims to adress both the positive and negative impacts of environmental parameters on the design of building envelopes. The purpose of this approach is to formulate a a methodology for building design: the choice of appropriate materials and the application of suitable construction techniques in order to ensure indoor and outdoor comfort conditions.
A holistic and systemic knowledge of the impact of environmental parameters on every scale of buiding design (from urban design to construction detailing) appears to be increasingly a key factor on the design choices regarding building form and structure. Issues regarding energy have gained great importance as they are not only related to economic aspects but also to the availability of energy resources and the protection of the environment. Knowledge offered by Building Physics forms an effective tool ensuring interventions on the built environment and particularly the design of building skins is carried out according to the afforementioned principles. The architect should consider the theory of the course as a set of rules to be utilised during the process of design and construction of buildings and as a frame of principles for the choice of materials and building products that will express their materiality.
τhe course covers the knowledge areas:
1. DESIGNING WITH CLIMATE
2. THERMAL COMFORT
3. BUILDING ENVELOPE AND ENERGY ISSUES-THERMAL BALANCE OF BUILDINGS
4. THERMAL LOSSES OF BUILDINGS-THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS
5. REGULATION OF BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE (Κ.Εν.Α.Κ.)
6. WATER PROOFING OF BUILDINGS
7. SOLAR GAINS AND THERMAL LOADS-SOLAR SYSTEMS FOR HEATING
8. SOLAR THERMAL GAINS-SHADING SYSTEMS
9. NATURAL VENTILATION
10. NATURAL COOLING
11. NATURAL LIFHTING AND VISUAL COMFORT
12. SOUND INSULATION AND SOUND PROTECTION
13. MICROCLIMATE AND ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF OUTDOOR SPACES
During the course, lectures are given and students are asked to submit small exercises in order to fully understand the contents of the course. Projects that the students have already designed as part of coursework for design studios will be used as the basis for the exercises, so that the projects are supported by the knowledge acquired through the building physics course.
