Aims :

to give students the fundamental elements and the introductive instruments to understand thermodynamics processes, heat transmission systems, acoustics and illumination design applied directly to the fild of architectural engineering.

Topics :

Part I, Applied Thermodynamics: first thermodynamic principle, second thermodynamic principle, perfect gas, direct cycle, inverse cycle ,teaching laboratory.
Part II, Heat Transmission: introduction (systems of heat transmission), thermal conduction, thermal convection, thermal radiation, combined systems of heat transmission.
Part III, Thermal hygrometry in the human buildings: calculation of thermal requirement in human buildings, hygrometric questions in human buildings.
Part IV, Applied Acoustics: introduction (fundamental acoustic quantities, acoustic spectrum analysis, spectrum response of human hear and loudness, criterions of sound and noise valutation), propagation and transmission of sound wave, acoustic absorption and soundproofing, closed-field propagation.
Part V, Lighting Engineering: photometry, Lighting production and control systems, methods of calculation for inner lighting, day-lighting, teaching laboratory.
