Introduction to Building Physics and Façades

CIEQ5251B replaces CIE4220 Introduction to Building Physics and Façades, the latter course being discontinued with the introduction of the new MSc Curriculum Civil Engineering in September 2022.

CIEQ5251B contains a subset of the learning objectives of the larger module CIEM5250 Building Engineering (15 ECTS), all taken from Learning Unit 1 "Architecture, Building Physics and Façades". Unit 1 is about:

• contemporary and 19th century architectural styles

• façade design/detailing

• building physics (heat transport, acoustics, wind flow)

• building services (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, vertical transport, water).

Please inform the responsible lecturer Dr. Roel Schipper that you want to take this course as part of the old Building Engineering MSc programme.
