Goals The main goal is to raise a new and different generation of architects and to create a design base based on climate and energy consciousness and an understanding of internal environmental control for a sustainable life. It is aimed to convey information about thermal comfort, humidity and sound related to building physics.
Course Content In this course; the concept of physical environment and the elements of building physics, the purpose and scope of solar arrangement, ways of propagation of heat, measures related to heat exchange of the building envelope, general information about heat and humidity, heat-moisture permeability of building materials, condensation, general measures, solar light, architectural acoustics, Basic information will be given about the areas of interest of building acoustics and volume acoustics, sound and noise, propagation and transmission of sound, noise control principles.
Learning Outcomes - 1) Having the basic principles of air conditioning and energy use in the design of environmental systems
- 2) In addition to the perception of functions, problems and solutions related to the building envelope, the design and control principles of the shell components in accordance with TS 825 are gained.
- 3) To be able to correctly apply the basic principles of building envelope materials and systems design
- 4) To be able to use the basic principles of insulation issues in the design of environmental systems
- 5) To design energy conserving buildings supported by the awareness of Building Physics Rules and principles
