Introduces theoretical and technical knowledge on issues\r\nof insulation, building materials as well as the relationship between design and construction. An\r\nintroduction is also made to the concept of the energy performance of the building, its energy\r\nfootprint and the regulations governing them.\r\nStudents work on a project, both individually and in groups. For this project they are given drafts of a\r\nbuilding and are asked to proceed with the design of the basic construction plans (wooden formwork,\r\njoints and details of structural elements, drawing of stairs, roofs), incorporating the insulation\r\nrequired in every element. Moreover, they are invited to cultivate the logic of searching for\r\nconstruction solutions through the combination of knowledge and information received from a\r\nvariety of sources: books, technical brochures, examples of constructed buildings on the Internet.\r\nTheir proposal should be substantiated theoretically and design-wise.","goals":"Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:\r\n\u2022 understand the principal parts of a building construction: excavations, foundations, bearing\r\nstructure of buildings, masonry, thermal and moisture protection, roofs, stairs, floors\r\n\u2022 read and create construction drawings\r\n\u2022 search relevant information over building construction issues in a variety of sources (books,\r\nscientific papers, internet sites)\r\n\u2022 implement the aforementioned information for solving building construction issues in a\r\ndocumented way (detailed drawings, technical reports)\r\n\u2022 perceive the knoweledge received as a part of the whole building construction planning and utilize\r\nit construction","skills":"\u2022 Research, analysis and combination of information\r\n\u2022 Adaptation to new situations\r\n\u2022 Decision making\r\n\u2022 Autonomous and team work\r\n\u2022 Project planning and performing\r\n\u2022 Respect to natural environment\r\n\u2022 Critical mindset\r\n\u2022 Promotion of creative and inductive thinking","teaching_methods":"Face to face.","ict_usage":"\u2022 Powerpoint presentation of lectures\r\n\u2022 Support of the learning process (educational material)\r\nthrough the E-learning platform and a video conference\r\nplatform.","teaching_organization":{"activity_1":{"description":"Lectures","workload":25},"activity_2":{"description":"Practical exercises","workload":25},"activity_3":{"description":"Individual study","workload":30},"activity_4":{"description":"Project(s)","workload":30},"activity_5":{"description":"Project","workload":20},"activity_6":{"description":"TOTAL","workload":130}},"students_evaluation":"Final written exams on theory and design, with questions of\r\nshort development on construction issues, as well as solvinga small design project (50%)\r\nDelivery of group project (mandatory), which is processed\r\nduring the semester, with supervision of each group\r\nthroughout the whole semester (50%)","bib_textbooks":"
