The main goal and focus of Building Technology I - IV is the sustainability of construction and of buildings. This concerns the selection of materials (BT I), the comfort of the inhabitants, the energy need and the durability of buildings (BT II - IV).

Building Materials

The students shall

• know the most important properties of the most relevant materials classes for construction, design and ecology and be able to explain them in real constructions,
• know the most relevant professional expressions and use them intelligently in discussion with professionals.

Building Physics

The students shall

• know the natural laws relevant for the sustainability of a building, in other words for comfort, energy need and durability of a building,
• be able to explain the corresponding relations on drawings and constructions,
• be able to judge design proposals, energy concepts and possibly improve them,
• be able to compute the most relevant parameters for given situations or at least estimate them.

• Building Technology I-IV for Students of Architecture
• Building Physics for Students of Civil Engineering
• Special problems in Building Physics (open to interested audience)

• In addition to the lectures comprehensive scripts are available in German for reference.

• All excercises are held during the term as tutorials
• Further information on excercises for students of Architecture and Civil Engineering are available in German on our Services-page.

• Intermediate Diploma Examinations in Building Technology for students of Architecture are taken inbetween term sessions - one in spring and one in fall.
• For further information (in German) on examination dates and preparation option (list of questions) please refer to our Services-page.
