Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

B-A-5.4 (P120-0093, P120-0094, P120-0095) Architecture, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2013 , semester 2, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 135 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.

Learning outcomes:
Structural Systems:
Structural engineering teaches the analysis, design, pre-dimensioning and construction of structural systems, taking into account both design and construction parameters.
In addition to function, shape and space, the supporting structure is an essential element of a building and therefore, its development and integration is part of the design process, as well as constructive training. It is, thus, one aspect of a holistic planning process. Ultimately, an architect should be able to provide the structural engineer with meaningful design specifications, provide corrective support during the constructive development and understand them in the context of a fruitful cooperation.
Building Physics:
 
 
Only a holistic view of the aspects of design, construction and building materials together with the principles of building physics enable an energetically optimized and damage-free, detailed solution for a building envelope. The aim is to ensure adequate sound insulation and achieve the energy performance certificate according to EnEV for a building envelope optimized in terms of energy and materials.
Therefore, we will be discussing the principles of moisture and thermal insulation, their implementation in the EnEV and the relevant standards, layer and material optimization, weaknesses in the building envelope, as well as the thermal insulation certificate. We will also be using programs for sound insulation, thermal insulation verification, calculating of thermal bridges and glazier diagram.
