Technoledge Health and Comfort

A building is in theory designed to have the best possible indoor comfort. In practice, however, this is not always realised. 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. You will practice with these theories through measurements of the indoor comfort aspects: visual quality, indoor air quality, acoustical quality and thermal quality. You will apply this knowledge in an existing building to assess the quality of the indoor comfort and relate the indoor comfort to the design of the building and suggest improvements or execute a research project on indoor comfort.
