To obtain knowledge and practice on the influence of the indoor environment (thermal comfort, visual comfort, acustic comfort, air quality, electromanetic radiation, vibration) on human health, comfort and performance

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. account in details for the impact of the thermal environment and air quality on human health and comfort 2. account for the impact of sound (noise), light, electromagnetic radiadion and vibration on human health and comfort 3. account for the impact of the physical environment on human work performance 4. interpret relevant legislation, standards and executive orders 5. account for measurement methods often used to characterize the work environment 6. use instruments to measure relevant parameters in one selected work environment 7. plan and carry out simple field investigations 8. carry out a project in groups and present the work in a report and in an oral presentation

The course informs about how the physical environment like, thermal, light, air quality, noise, electromagnetic radiation, vibration will influence on human health, comfort and performance. The knowledge of these parameters are the basic for design and dimensioning of buildings, machines, vehicles, protective clothing, warning signals etc. The student will get a knowledge on which parameters are important for a good working environment. Existing requirements and codes, standards and guidelines will be presented. By this course the students get an important basic knowledge, which they can use in further studies on the influence of environment, buildings and machines on humans.

Lectures, Practice, Consultations, Visits of the installations and plants. During lectures theoretical part of the course is presented followed by examples of the designed or implemented solutions in the practice. Practice accompanies lectures where laboratory exercises and computing examples are done related to the lectured knowledge. During consultations additional explanations related to the lectures and practice are given. Consultations are also done during bachelor and master thesis Used software are: CBE Thermal Comfort Tool, MRT Calculator, DesignBuilder, IES-VE, EnergyPlus, SketchUp with OpenStudio.
