  • Describe the importance of multidisciplinary cooperation in achieving good IEQ
  • Identify the challenges that different building segments (e.g. residential and public buildings) have in creating an optimal level of IEQ
  • Describe the state-of-the-art technical solutions (ventilation, acoustic, lighting) for creating an optimal level of IEQ
  • Identify and assess the different technical solutions for heating, cooling, and ventilation.Critically reflect and report on his or her own learning and on the teaching methods used during the course

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    The course indoor environment technology covers different indoor environment quality (IEQ) factors such as indoor air quality, lighting, ventilation, acoustic etc. and the technology within these factors. The course emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary cooperation in achieving good IEQ and exposes students to state-of the-art technologies, as well as strategies for creating, controlling and estimating different indoor environment quality factors (e.g. indoor air quality, light and sound) as well as considering the end-user comfort in non-industrial buildings (daylight sufficiency, visual-, acoustic- and thermal comfort). Within the course, participants are required to write a group work report, present the group work, and write a learning diary in order to develop communication and presentation skills as well as reflection skills about the teaching and their own learning. The course includes a company seminar and a company visit.

Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    1-5 based on the group work (average grade from 5 different parts) (50%) plus the learning diary (50%).  

Workload

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    The teaching is organized as lectures, seminar, company visits, facilitated group work, independent group work and learning diary. The workload of each activity varies according to the needs of the students.
