Objective
to transfer and disseminate through multimedia the expertise in designing for operational standards in low energy buildings developed both in national and in the CEC research and development and demonstration programmes JOULE and THERMIE (renewable energies and rational use of energy)
to meet the needs of European 'building practices' with regard to techniques for obtaining operational standards in low energy buildings
to provide a flexible training tool ideally suited to the small enterprises that are typical of architecture and consulting engineering practices (i.e. a CD-Rom based programme)
to provide a flexible training tool ideally suited to university students via the web
to promote a European dimension in training in architecture, building engineering and building physics
The project will develop a flexible training package which will incorporate the newest techniques in ensuring comfort in low energy buildings and make them widely available .
Plan of teaching package
Syllabus : there wil be four parts to the syllabus:
1. Background to comfort studies. Field and climate chamber research.
2 State of knowledge on thermal, acoustic and visual comfort
3 Experimental techniques. Field studies in comfort. Simple apparatus and questionnaire construction.
4. Building design and comfort standards ( in general terms) including:
a) Climate In the context of climate :use of thermal mass , insulation, control of air temp, radiant temp. Controlling air movement. Natural ventilation, night-time ventilation, active ground contact andevaporative sytems. Passive solar systems.
b) Window systems and sound attenuation, effect of openings, passive stacks, trickle vents etc. Control of reverberation. Barriers.
c) daylighting, artificial background and task lighting, visual comfort and brightness field
Low energy artificial lighting solutions
