Previous Knowledge

Degree in Architecture Studies or Fundamentals of Architecture.

Objectives

Knowledge of research methods and preparation of construction projects.
Create architectural projects that satisfy the aesthetic and technical demands, and the requirements of the building users, respecting the limits imposed by budgetary factors and construction regulations.

Development:

Incorporate sustainability and energy aspects as an attitude to the project from the implementation of the building on the plot considering the environmental factors, incorporating the study and reflection on the energy performance of the projected building and the implementation of the installations from an architectural point of view of rationality and efficiency.

- A first objective is that the projects are capable to respond to its environment (urban implementation, typological adequacy, of image, materiality, sustainability and environmental conditioning) and also respond to aspects related to the use of the building, especially of security, accessibility, energetic behaviour, efficiency and comfort, according to the typology, the climatic area and the use profile.
- The second objective of the subject is to incorporate the facilities and energy production as a project element and not as an addition to the project, learning to make the installations compatible between each other, with the constructive and structural, following the implementation strategy generated by the idea of the project.

Contents

The evolutionary and comparative study of the energetic behavior of the buildings, environmental control and service facilities. The objective is to get the students to know all the installations, the elements that configure them, the possible systems and especially their implementation in the projects.

- Overview of the world of environmental conditioning and the service.
- Analysis of the security, service and climate conditioning installations of the residential buildings.
- Analysis of the security, service and climate conditioning installations of the service buildings.
- Study of environmental intervention tools.

Index of contents:

- Implementation of the architecture on the site. Environmental factors.
- Passive fire protection and implementation of the installations in the building. Building example.
- The building and the energy. Passive methods, intermediate spaces, natural ventilation.
- HVAC installation. Energy production, heat exchange and recovery units in the building.
- Energy management of buildings. Energy and installation of systems of facilities as project reflection.
- Installation of the water evacuation and reuse.
- Services: plumbing, gas, solar hot water and electricity.

Development:

Energy aspects: The analysis and learning of the environmental factors of the site, and the passive strategies that will be carried out in the building.
Installations and services: The analysis and learning of the main installations will be carried out from the elements and equipments that make up the different systems, their main criteria for implementation and pre-dimensioning.

Methodology

The presential classes are developed in the form of a workshop, where the theoretical content is combined with practical exercises to better understand the concepts presented in each session.

- Theoretical sessions and practical sessions in which there will be carried out a continuous correction of the project developed by the student during the semester and the presentation by the student of specific research exercises related to the syllabus.
- The presential classes are developed combining exposition of theoretical contents and practical exercises for a better understanding of the concepts presented in each session.
- The acquired knowledge is included and worked on the project that the students are developing with the support of professors through correction sessions.
- Research exercises that will be formalized - as indicated by the professors of the subject - in a presentation in digital format and / or paper drawn by hand. In both cases, the presentation will be accompanied by a clear, precise and structured design that will be presented to the rest of the classmates and professors during class time.
- The semester is complemented by debates and visits to buildings, works or workshops related to the subject syllabus.

Evaluation

15 % Assistance, participation in class and exciting attitude
20 % Graphic and oral presentation
50 % Practice / Executive definition of the project
15 % Exercises, debate and investigation

Evaluation Criteria

The evaluation of the master will be continuous and linked to the following parameters:
- Attendance and participation in the theoretical sessions.
- Assistance, follow-up and participation in the practical and correction sessions.
- Enthusiastic attitude and motivation.
- Graphic and oral presentation of the research exercises proposed during the course.
- Schematic design, design development and construction documents, in which the acquired knowledge is reflected (in an evolutionary way). The documents to be delivered must comply with the minimum contents set by the professors, and the rigor and easy reading, through architectural arguments, of the decisions and solutions adopted in the project.
