Aim
To give a basic knowledge of building technology and building physics.

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

be able to describe and explain different building components
be able to describe elementary building physical processes

Skills and abilities
For a passing grade the student must

be able to design ordinary building components and connections between these components
be able to estimate different constructions in regards to thermal conditions
be able to use technical terms both oral and written
be able to discuss different solutions with actors in the building trade

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

have developed ability to independently carry out further studies to some extent

Contents
The course mainly deals with different building components and how to put these components together in order to provide a building with good performance with regard to heat and moisture conditions. In order to be able to carry out this the course also contain a little about building materials, building physical calculations and a simple drawing item. Furthermore work-place training combined with a final seminar is included.
