Main requirements for indoor climate, main requirements for external perimeters, main notions of thermal physics (porosity, humidity, thermal transmittance, thermal conductivity, thermal capacity, thermal radiation and thermal absorption), cold bridges, thermal resistance of a perimeter, temperature regime of a perimeter, thermal assimilation, air tightness, humidity regime of an exterior perimeter, control possibilities of thermal technical quality of the perimeter structures of buildings (thermography).

The objective of the course is to provide the students various knowledge about the thermal technical properties of building materials and perimeter structures.

The student:
- knows the thermal, water vapour and air transfer processes that take place in the perimeters of a building and can take them into account at building real subjects;
- knows the main requirements for the indoor climate of facilities;
- can perform thermal technical calculations of perimeter structures manually as well as with the aid of computer programmes.

The course is mainly carried out in the form of lectures, where theoretical knowledge is gained. For mastering practical skills and computer programmes also practical classes take place. As independent work home tasks are solved.
