Distance learning for the environmental control of buildings and their fittings

Objective

A needs analysis has revealed serious shortcomings in the continuing training of architects. Furthermore, there is evidence of a large gap between user expectations relating to the quality of architecture or environmental protection and the methods used by people responsible for constructing/restoring buildings and designing living space. The aim of the AUDIENCE project is to improve the qualifications of architects, technical staff and building design executives with regard to comfort and quality of the environment.

To achieve this, the partners intend to use laboratory researchers to design training modules which will be tested by architects, who will then be able to use a self-study package with tutoring in the workplace. This training programme has a twofold aim: improving comfort in architectural design (controlling the architectural environment in terms of acoustics, heating, natural ventilation and lighting) and attempting to create a quality environment by using new forms of energy and combating pollution. This project will bring together European partners in charge of construction work and designing living space. These professionals either work in scientific and technical research or in business. In addition, the partnership will include distance training specialists with expertise in implementation and evaluation.

Impact
This project will encourage modification of in-service training attitudes in this professional sphere. It will optimise the transfer of results from scientific and technical research to primary users. It will develop a networked distance learning system in an area with high requirements in terms of the transfer of digital images and information in graphic form.
