Objective
You know the concepts and definitions of physical conditions (temperature, humidity, sound, lighting and radiation conditions) in indoor environment.
You understand the importance of structures and the temperature and humidity of air for the quality of indoor environment.
You know the sources of moisture in buildings and moisture transmission mechanisms.
You know how to carry out noise measurements indoors and to assess the reliability and relevance of the results.
Content
