Building technology for façades and roofs

Recommended Prerequisites

2nd Cycle Studies

Teaching Methods

Lectures aimed to the systematization and organization of knowledge and methodological approaches.

The theoretical and practical classes- although there are no clearly difference from them - intended for the analysis of case studies presented by the students in the light of knowledge and adopted methodology.

 Students will develop a small project based on the observation of real situations that they will propose.

Learning Outcomes

Provide the students with knowledge of building technology to enable them to:

-  Design, calculate and define conditions for the implementation of primary elements of construction (walls, roofs and glazing) due to functional requirements and that can identify and adapt to different situations.

- Know the different types of building materials available for building facades, roofs and glazing with the identification of its characteristics and its technological constraints of use.

- Observe, identify and describe constructive solutions of the existing facades and roofs, evaluating their expected performance in a given functional context, particularly in the hygrothermal performance as well as in rehabilitation strategies for improvement.

Work Placement(s)

No

Syllabus

The primary elements of the building and its contribution to the hygrothermal performance of buildings. Approach on opaque facades, roofs (flat and sloped) and glazed under 5 sub¿¿-chapter:

1. Requirements

 Functional requirements. Specificity of the requirements for the hygrothermal and acoustic performance.

 2. Materials

 Description and identifying characteristics of materials to support elements, technique layers, finishing and auxiliary components

3. Project

 Multidisciplinary approach to project based on performance (current surface and singular points)

 4. Technology

 Technological approach of construction and maintenance phases and study of the respective conditions.
