Subject syllabus

Students will learn how to process and evaluate the measured data. Measurements will be conducted on actual structures in the experimental passive object timber, which will be used as a laboratory HVAC and building environment. The amount of built-in sensors in building construction and in the soil will allow students to monitor and evaluate the behavior of a passive object timber construction throughout the year.
Measurement of physical quantities will include: temperature, humidity and flow of indoor and outdoor air, measuring surface temperatures of building structures contact and contactless manner thermal measurement and design details of buildings, measurement of heat flow through the building structure, temperature and humidity within the building structure and the soil, measuring the thermal load of the interior, measuring CO2 building interiors.
