AF2401 Building Technology, Advanced Course 7.5 credits

• Problem based analysis of different constructions. Technical assessment.
• Engineering design and the use of building physics. Tools for calculation.
• Industrial construction, innovation, development.
• Research in the field of building technology.

After the course is completed the student should:

• be able to formulate building physical problems and to do in-depth analysis with mathematical tools and measurements
• have insight into the devlopment and evaluation of new building technology as well as the “state of the art” research within the field.

Documented knowledge in Building Materials and Building Physics, 15 ECTS corresponding to the content in courses AF1301 and AF1402.

Eng B/6 according to the Swedish upper secondary school system.

Documented knowledge in Differential Equations corresponding to the content in course SF1676 Differential Equations with Applications.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• ÖVN1 - Exercises, 4.5 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Oral examination (TEN1; 3 cr)
Approved exercises (ÖVN1; 4,5 cr)
