The report produced in the course should be a compilation of recent advanced fundamentals in one part of the field of building technology. This could for example be windows, wall constructions, fundations or systems for water proofing, or a description about how the building as a system can be designed to fulfil certain functional demands.

The material produced shall in one way or another be useful for couse material for our undergraduates.

Aim of this course is that the PhD-student shall obtain a deep understanding about practice and ideas around low-energy and sustaingable construction of today.

The competence needed to become PhD-student in building technology.
