Learning Outcomes of this subject are:
M08.K01 Identify the physical problems and the different technologies, as well as the function of buildings, to be taken into account to provide them with internal conditions of comfort/comfort, and protection/control of climatic factors, in examples of installation and environmental conditioning solutions with low demand and energy consumption.
M08.K02 Recognize facility problems linked to building projects based on examples that adequately integrate facilities into the project.
M08.K03 Recognize the relationships between people and buildings and between them and their environment in examples of solutions for their environmental conditioning that take into account human needs, health and scale according to principles of sustainability, attending to functional diversity and having take into account the gender perspective.
M08.K04 List the materials and systems used in the facilities and for conditioning and service, their varieties and the physical and mechanical characteristics that define them, as well as the industrial production and approval procedures, treatments and finishes, modular coordination and dimensional and mounting methods.
M08.K05 Recognize the responsibility of the architect regarding the basic principles of ecology, sustainability and conservation of resources and the environment in building, urban planning and landscaping with examples that contemplate them.
M08.H01 Apply construction, approval, protection, maintenance, safety and calculation standards in integrated projects and in the execution of installation works.
M08.H02 Develop strategies for the energy rehabilitation of buildings.
M08.H03 Analyze the maintenance conditions and intervention measures in the installation systems of the finished work, as well as in the civil works associated with them for the preparation of maintenance manuals and the management of their implementation in the building .
M08.H04 Apply technical regulations to the building process in the area of facilities with conditioning solutions and services in accordance with the regulations.
M08.H05 Carry out environmental and landscape studies to define protection measures against environmental impact
M08.H06 Apply the basic formal, functional and technical principles to the conception and design of buildings and urban complexes, for the definition of their general characteristics and benefits to be achieved in the field of facilities.
M08.C01 Integrate into projects in the field of architecture, the acoustic principles necessary to provide buildings and urban spaces with optimal comfort conditions.
M08.C02 Resolve the conception, design, calculation and integration in buildings and urban complexes, as well as the execution, of the water supply, treatment and evacuation facilities, electricity, audiovisual communication and artificial lighting, for the preparation of related technical documentation and for technical advice on these aspects.
M08.C03 Solve the conception, calculation, design and integration in buildings and urban complexes, as well as the execution of passive environmental conditioning solutions, including thermal and acoustic insulation, climate control, energy performance and natural lighting for the preparation of related technical documentation and for technical advice on these aspects.
M08.C04 Prepare technical solutions for the execution of the installations of buildings and urban spaces in a degree of definition sufficient for their complete implementation and equipment of services and facilities.
M08.C05 Solve the conception, calculation, design and integration in buildings and urban complexes, as well as the execution of security, people evacuation and fire protection solutions, both active and passive, for the preparation of the related technical documentation and for technical advice on these aspects.

The course is taught weekly with one lecture session. In this weekly session, theoretical and practical parts will be combined.
In the theoretical part of the session (seminar, flipped classroom, peer instructions) the students and the teacher will discuss and resolve doubts about the contents previously studied. Every three or four sessions, a written evaluation of the contents discussed will be carried out.
In the practical part of the session, the concepts explained in the theoretical classes will be worked on for their integration into architectural projects. At the end of each session, the students will have to have completed the exercises established by the teachers and hand them in. The correction of some of these exercises will be used to finish discussing the topics being worked on.
The work will mainly be on an exemplary multi-family housing project built in the country and published in the last 15 years. Based on the study of this project, the different partial diagrams of the different facilities will be developed. The exercises will last a week and will be handed in for evaluation.
At the end of the course, the student will be asked to integrate all the partial projects by taking a retrospective and critical look at the work done to integrate all the parts.
The student will complete the project during the corrections in class and outside of class hours. The student is asked to always bring his exercises to class in digital format or on paper with scale drawings (1/500, 1/200, 1/100 or 1/50).
The evaluation of the project and the exercises will be continuous, and the quality of the project and/or exercises will be graded, the rigor in decision-making based on reasoned reflections, the participatory attitude both in the development of the project itself and in the corrections of classmates and face-to-face classes. The ability to communicate graphically or draw and oral expression will also be evaluated.
Minimum requirements to pass the subject in the ordinary call:
- Having completed at least 80% of the exercises in class
- Having completed all the exams
- The minimum grade for each evaluable activity ≥4.
- Attendance at building visits
Exams: A total of 3 partial exams will be given during class hours to assess the students' theoretical knowledge.
Final grade:
- 25% for each partial exam
- 25% for in-class assignments
Students who do not pass the ordinary session (continuous assessment) will have an extraordinary session that will consist of:
- practical assignments (25%)
- final exam for the entire subject (75%)
The categorization of the assessment activities for the subject:
Final and practical assessment activities: Highly significant.
Partial exams: Highly significant.
Assessment activities / In-class tests: Moderately significant.
The use of AI tools will be limited to some activities in the course. Teachers will communicate this in the statement of the corresponding activity.
Use of AI tools: If AI tools are used in any activity, a paragraph must be indicated indicating why AI has been used and what indications have been used to obtain the results. Failure to do so is a violation of academic honesty policies.
