ARCH423 Building Technology

[2–2, 3 cr.]

This course focuses on the enclosure of the building and the various essential roles it assumes, mainly as interface between the external environment and the internal spaces. Appropriate selection of enclosure materials and systems of assembly, positioning of windows and doors, and roofing solutions, are explored in detail. This includes the study of thermal conductivity and use of weather control membranes, insulation layers, and flashing elements.
