Italian

Long time will be spent studying the building physic (in specific thermodynamic, psycrometry, heat transfer) giving at the same time the basis of indoor comfort.
Moreover, the course is aimed to the acquisition of basic knowledge about plants to understand their interactions with building structures and internal and external environments and with current laws and standards.

- Elements of physics;
- Basic thermodynamics;
- Psychrometry;
- Heat transfer,
- Acoustics;
- Lighting;
- Air-conditioning systems;
- Plumbing;
- fire protection;
- Electrical installations;

Give the basics about the fundamental physical phenomena that govern the whole building system, and the interaction between man, building and environment, all with the aim to achieve en energy conscious design.
Acquisition of basic knowledge on the main plant types and their performance in order to achieve the thermal, acoustic and light comfort in indoor environments and the reduction of energy consumption in buildings.

Providing the base knowledge for the assessment of the main thermal, hygrometric, energetic, acoustic and lighting performances of buildings and of their components.
Provide the basis knowledges for the conscious design buildings and installations

The course provides a basic understanding of fundamental physical phenomena that govern the building system and the interaction between man, building and the environment in order to enable energy-conscious and sustainable design.
This is in line with the provisions of national and international regulatory framework, more and more sensitive to issues related to energy and the environment.
The program in particularly studies the main physical phenomena and the definition of the mathematical models that represent them, with the aim of encouraging the design of comfortable environments in terms of thermal, acoustic and lighting and gain knowledge of the different types of technical systems, knowing how to manage the selection and design guidelines. The knowledge gained also find practical application in other disciplines of the design and technology of the course in Architecture.
For each topic covered in the course, references to the legislative and regulatory framework are given and examples in the field of building design, urban component are shown, with both lectures and seminars with experts from different sectors.
