ST-78 | Buildings' Physics (2)

Compulsory Course | Hours/Week: 2C | ECTS Credits: 2

Titulari:

prof.dr.arh. Marius Smigelschi

conf.dr.arh. Radu Pană

Learning outcomes:

Knowledge of assuring confort for the building inhabitants, analysing artificial lighting, acoustics and fire safety domains.
Capacity to corelate building physics elements with physiologic and psychological aspects, with specific building assemblies as a hole and in detail and with architectural aesthetic

Content:

Part 1. ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING
Artificial light in architecture. Criteria for design and evaluation. Elements of calculus and luminotechnic design. Artificial light sources, efficiency, efficacity. Light fixtures (principles, geometry, materials). Integration of lighting elements and systems in interior architecture. Light surfaces, luminous ceilings. Artificial lighting in various interior architectural areas.
Part 2. ACOUSTIC CONFORT
Physical, physiological and spatial acoustics. Phonoabsorbtion, phonoinsulation.
Principles and details of phonoabsorbant structures. Porous material, vibrant membranes, rezonators. Complex phonoabsorbant structures.
Principles and details of phono-insulant structures. Simple and double heavy walls, light walls, doors and windows.
Acoustic protection against exterior noise at urban level, building ansamble and in buildings.
Acoustic protection inside buildings. Principles and general measures, specific to various building uses.
Acoustical study of spaces for audition. Criteria, principles and solutions.
Practical method for architectural design.

Teaching Method:

Lectures, illustrated (dia, retro-, computer video projection). 2 application works regarding each main chapter.

Assessment:

Final grade is made of 60% continuous evaluation and 40% final evaluation.
