Civil Engineering 1

Building physics (outdoor climate and indoor environment, heating, humidity, noise, fire), construction theory (foundation, wall constructions, floors, roofs, special rooms, technical installations), building materials, goods and components, introduction to current laws and regulations for the Norwegian construction industry in digital drawing and projecting tools (BIM), energy calculation

Knowledge:
The candidate:
- Has basic knowledge of building physical contexts within heat penetration, moisture and sound.
- have knowledge of fire as a physical phenomenon and the principles of fire protection in the building regulations, as the basis for simple fire planning
- have knowledge of how outdoor climate affects the climate and indoor environment of buildings and how to design buildings based on this
- can refer to technical authority requirements related to performance, including historical development
- is familiar with research and development work and standards in construction technology and can update their knowledge of this through information retrieval
- can write an academic report according to basic principles
- Has basic knowledge of technical drawing according to the Norwegian standard and the design of building constructions using digital technology
- account for the basic material characteristics of the most widely used building materials

Skills:
The candidate can:
- draw simple detail drawings of building constructions on a scale and prepare overview and principle drawings, by hand and with DAK
- apply calculation methods to document and evaluate the qualities of new and existing building constructions, including heat, moisture and sound calculations.
- apply current guidelines based on standards for design, engineering and documentation of common technical solutions.
- calculate the energy requirements and power requirements of a building, both manually and using tools.
- carry out fire engineering assessments of buildings, with emphasis on the protection of life and health.
General competence:
The candidate:
- can plan and carry out varied building engineering tasks, alone and in groups using recognized methods and techniques according to applicable legislation, in accordance with ethical requirements and guidelines
- Has insight into the environmental consequences of materials, products and solutions in construction technology, and can put this into an ethical perspective and a lifecycle perspective
- can present their results and analyzes in both written and oral
- master current professional expressions and communicate with other professionals, also participate in professional discussions.
- can reflect on one's own and another's professional practice.

Lectures, self-study, task solving, group work, work on digital tools.
Lectures will be recorded and there will be a sample of prerecorded lectures and practical tasks which covers central parts of the subject. Instructions are carried out both synchronous and asynchronous by using Collaborate and forum. A plan for this is available in learning platform. There will be two gatherings. Consumption of time: - Lectures (videos):50 hours - Organized instructions: 15 hours - Compulsory work: 80 hours - Own efforts: 120 hours - Sum: 265 hours.
