Building Physics

Teaching Methodologies

In Theoretical-Practical lessons both expository and inquisitive method are used. Besides that, practical
exercises are solved either in groups or individually.
In Tutorial sessions, a methodology based on skills and group learning (teamwork), is used. In addition, students
will be supervised, through the clarification of theoretical doubts, exercises resolution and general guidance
over the practical assignment.

Learning Results

At the end of the course students must have acquired the knowledge, skills and competences required for the
analysis of a building, inferring the implications on their thermo hygrometric, natural ventilation, acoustic
performance and fire performance.
