Part of a YH programme at TUC Yrkeshögskola. This course cannot be applied for on its own. Programme code: ENI19TRA.

Building technology and building physics, 20 YH credits, gives you knowledge and understanding of how a property's structure and construction affect energy use. You go deeper into building materials, house-building techniques and the building physics processes that govern the transport of heat and moisture. The course trains you to identify and analyse building physics problems, carry out relevant calculations and propose measures that improve energy use.

Duration: 4 weeks
Language: Swedish
Level: Advanced
CSN-eligible

Time commitment: 20 YH credits, equivalent to approx. 4 weeks of full-time study

About the course.

The purpose of the course is to provide in-depth knowledge of building materials, house-building techniques and building physics processes concerning the transport of heat and moisture. The goal of the course is that students will be able to identify and analyse simpler building physics problems and have knowledge of the factors that govern community planning: human, historical and environmental.
