The course gives a comprehensive understanding about how a buildings technical operation can be evaluated by different methods for measurement. Particular emphasis is put on temperature and thermal comfort.

After the course, the student shall

• have a deeper understanding of measurement methods of importants for research within building technology and how they are applied in a sustainable way in practical building technology;
• be able to describe the most significant methods for measurement of temperature, air flow, thermal comfort etc. and describe the factors that affect these properties;
• be capable of choosing and performing evaluations around how these properties measured may influence a building's technical performance.   

Master of Science in Civil Engineering or similar, with an undergraduate course in building technology.

The course literature is announced at the beginning of each course round.

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

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