Subject syllabus

Thermal-technical requirements on the thermal protection of buildings, energy legislation. Calculation methods of solving of the thermal-technical quantities (TEPLO 2011). Computer simulation and assessment of details by means of two-(three) dimensional temperature field (AREA 2011, CUBE3D 2009) at the steady thermal field. Practical use of software for building physics with a solution of one-dimensional temperature field at the unsteady thermal field (CalA).
Thermal stability of a room – an assessment of a critical room from a point of view of a maximal increase of temperature and a maximal summer temperature (STABILITA 2011, SIMULACE 2011). Building energy characteristic of a building (ZTRÁTY 2011, ENERGIE 2013). Practical checking of the thermal-technical characteristics with form of measuring in situ.
