About The Position

This course introduces the fundamental concepts behind modern building science, and applies these to the performance of materials and methods of construction for traditional and contemporary building systems. The course deals with building science theory, and its practical application. The increasing importance of building performance for architectural design will be reviewed in the context of changing codes, standards, and increasing building owner/occupant concern for the environmental implications of buildings.
