Overview
The course is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical and the second part includes a practical application in the form of a project. The theory part deals with the different tools at our disposal for building a sustainable society in relation to the choice of construction material, energy system, building envelope, moisture safety, environmental impact, and energy consumption, as well as life cycle cost analysis. The theory part includes lectures, seminars, and exercises, as well as reading assignments. The second part comprises a project completed in groups under supervision. Projects are supposed to include applications of the tools presented in the first part and discuss aspects of sustainability in societal planning. An individual specialisation assignment is also included. The course comprises: - developing the writing process with an emphasis on methods for comparison and evaluation - evaluating constructions and materials with regard to moisture safety, energy consumption and environmental impact - moisture safety in the design process - calculating energy consumption in buildings - assessing energy choices in terms of the environment - life cycle cost analysis (LCC) - sustainability issues in societal planning
