AF140V Basic technology for buildings 2.5 credits

Administer About course

The aim of the course is to provide insight into the basics of building technology with an orientation in building damage and inspection technology.

This is a fairly small course, but we hope all will still be able to feel that we have progressed with an interesting learning.

 

The course is held as seven two-hour lessons

1: Introduction - Course structure - Technical requirements for a building

2: Introduction of the assignment. Foundation and how we build in Sweden

3: Wall constructions and windows and construction of apartment buildings.

4: Roofs

5: Building damage and moisture damage Inspection of buildings

6: House and health and radon

7: We present the assignments and talk about what we have learned

 

And as a conclusion, I will invite you to a meeting at KTH - as a study visit.

The examination is an assignment and a home exam. The assignment is a description of a detail in a building. You choose what you want to work with. The exam consists of a number of questions that you answer at home, when you have time, and then send in.
