This course deals with how to put components together in order to provide shelter against the outside climate, the application of different indoor climate criteria and the construction of simple building service systems for ventilation, heating, tap water, waste water and rainwater. Also studied are the coordination of building services with building plans and structure. Simple drawings and the reading/understanding complex drawings will also be addressed.
Grading scale: TH
Assessment: Two written examinations each with a theoretical and a calculation part. Both parts must be passed at the same occasion. To pass the course the students also must complete and pass the project "huset Huset" including a lab. A well done project can raise the final grade.
