UE's Learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:Cite and explain the mechanisms of heat transfer and diffusion of water vapor through a wall;calculate the heat transfer coefficient and the heat loss of a wall;find acceptable values of thermal conductivity of a material;calculate the energy consumption of a wall; calculate the energy savings generated by the insulation of a wall;determine the risk of condensation in and on one wall;explain Glaser method;calculate the level K of a building and the NBN flow of a space.
To analyse the structural elements (verifying conditions of stability, waterproofing, hydrothermic and acoustic comfort, durability, economy, ...) wich make up the wall structure/roofing for small or medium sized contructions built in traditional techniques, while studiyng the aesthetic consequences.
