The course aims to provide students with methodological and technical tools to make informed choices in defining the technological and environmental aspects of a project, particularly for buildings with high innovation content such as those with high energy efficiency.
Students will be guided to understand the behavior of the building considered as an integrated system of technological and environmental components responding to its different functions and typologies.
Innovative materials and construction techniques will be illustrated for efficiency level and environmental compatibility, showing how the evolution of technological knowledge contributes to innovative design, supported also by scientific research activities and the production of new knowledge essential to address the challenges posed by current environmental, social, and economic issues.
