This course focuses on indoor comfort and the associated physiological concepts. You will learn the cutting edge theory on indoor comfort through lectures from experts in this field. You will then apply these theories in practice, through measurements of the indoor comfort aspects of a real building: visual quality, indoor air quality, acoustical quality and thermal quality. The measurements and the data analysis performed with them will allow you to identify strengths and weaknesses of the existing building design.
Following such analysis, you will be able to propose alternative design solutions that improve indoor comfort level. With the use of building performance simulation software, you will then compare the effectiveness of such solutions against the current building performance. The course combines theoretical and practical aspects of building indoor comfort, to help you gain the experience that is necessary for a career as a building physics or indoor climate consultant.
Objective
explain the current theories on indoor air quality, visual quality, thermal quality and acoustical quality
analyse relevant scientific literature on indoor comfort and write a consistent and coherent scientific report on this topic
assess the indoor comfort of an existing building and suggest improvements or execute a research project on indoor comfort.
