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.
