Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Prerequisites
The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
This teaching unit cover the basic concepts of the physics of walls, hygrothermal comfort and air quality. In particular, it is designed to make students familiar with the notions of mechanical and thermal energy, interior thermal comfort and heat and steam transfer through ventilation and within the walls of a building.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
This teaching unit focuses particularly on two dimensions of the profile of a Bachelor level graduate in Architecture: developing a technical dimension and making use of other disciplines. Specific learning outcomes: By the end of this course, students will be able to
Make use of other subjects
|
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
