Within the context of the implementation of the
Kyoto Agreement for the limitation of production of CO2 and climate
change and faced with the predicted exhaustion of fossil energy
resources, the architect must favour rational energy use and the
exploitation of renewable energies in his/her projects.
He/she must equally satisfy new norms, laws and
regulations concerning energy.
Energy problems and environmental problems today
offer constraints in projects, which the architect or engineer must
handle in the same way as he must other parameters.
It is therefore necessary to develop new knowledge
and teaching which prepares architects and engineers for multidisciplinary
work in these domains and, which allows association of formal solutions
and techniques in projects.
The purpose of this module is therefore to:
• Understand
physical and biological phenomena, which determine thermal behaviour
of buildings.
• Understand physical and biological phenomena which determine
sensations of comfort
• Make rough estimates of different phenomena
• Develop the capacity of multidisciplinary work among engineers,
geographers, climatologists, sociologists
