Learning Outcomes

Student should be able to:
O1. conceive studies of building thermal behavior
O2. develop the ability of abstract thinking;
O3. resolve real problems or new ones;
O4. develop a critical sense;
O5. aims to teach students the various types of technologies necessary for the implementation of construction works about the construction of buildings, from the design phase to construction phase. Thus, the focus was on study and understanding of the technology of execution and the construction of the major elements;
O6. Know the thermal legislation;
O7. Develop the ability to analyze the thermal performance of buildings
O8.Developing knowledge and capacity to intervene in the building construction elements.
