21002034-3 - BUILDING PHYSICS AND PLANTS

The design studio’s goal is to achieve a product comparable to what the Italian legislation usually defines as “final design”. It is, in other words, to put students in conditions, starting from the needs of the construction, to manage the simultaneous presence of specialist contributions (composition, structural, regulations, technological, environmental, technical physics, economic) involved in an achievable architectural project.

Type of delivery of the course

The course provides, as in the case of 1M, a first part of the discussion of the topics through the traditional classroom lectures in depth, examining some of the topics addressed in the 1M as the plant engineering dimension of a heating system and introducing the lighting design of an environment of work and a second part consisting of the design reviews on the case studies envisaged by the individual architectural design with the students.

Attendance

Attendance is required for at least 75% of the lessons

Type of evaluation

The evaluation includes oral questions to verify the knowledge acquired and the progress of the project.

Programme

The lectures review basic subjects as heat transfer, psycrometrics, climatic conditions, thermal and visual comfort and are focused on their relation with energy and environmental performance of the buildings. Heating and cooling loads. Passive (bioclimatic architecture) and active (plants, building services..) systems are also illustrated in the lessons.
Students will deal with the following topics:

1. Building Envelope design, focusing on energetic behavior and thermal properties.
2. Heating and cooling loads estimation.
3. Building plants and mechanical services integration in architecture – Location and sizing.
4. HVAC systems type choice, design and distribution.
5. Solar Technologies integration in buildings for heating and electricity production.
6. Daylighting, FLD calculation.
7. Acoustics.

Good basis knowledge of thermodynamics, heat transfer, building physics, lighting, acoustics is required.

Type of delivery of the course

The course is articulated in lectures and a design application; weekly revisions. See the course program for lectures and design contents.

Attendance

Attendance is required for at least 75% of the lessons

Type of evaluation

Knowledge parameters and building characteristics that affect thermal, acoustical and visual comfort. Design application. The evaluation will be based on the development of a paper about specific contents of the module (checks and calculations carried out on the thermophysical properties of the envelope; thermal and cooling loads; natural and artificial lighting; acoustics). Discussion on the architectural design project, and evaluation of the building-plant integration.

Type of delivery of the course

the lessons are conducted with lectures by the teacher. During the course, seminars will be held on the various topics of the workshop. Individual project issues will be addressed through individual reviews

Attendance

course attendance is compulsory, therefore, during the lessons the teacher will verify the presence through the students' signature

Type of evaluation

The evaluation involves the preparation of a dissertation concerning the calculations determined with the concepts learned during the course of the laboratory. The essay will be accompanied by the graphic drawings present on the examination tables. During the exam the teacher will verify the preparation of the student and to verify the knowledge acquired on the topics of the program of the lessons.
