Capacity to analyse the human resources bind to sustainability:

-Reduce, reuse, recycle and rehabilitate (rethink, redesign,...)



Ability to manage and to transmit the importance of energy efficiency:

-Passive strategies, eco materials and life cycle analysis of architecture.



Opportunity to innovate and take value of it:

-Design a passive building using all the information we have analyzed, understood and explained in class.

Basic concepts of Bioclimatic Architecture.

Popular Architecture.

The climate. Microclimate.

From the town planning to the building.

The analyse of the cycle life of materials.



Passive strategies and designs:

1.-Vorarlberg Architecture.

2.-Situation and Building Form.

3.-Sun exposure.

4.-Winter strategies.

5.-Summer strategies.

6.-Comfort.

7.-Eco materials.

8.-Façade skins.

9.-Passive strategies: Heat recovery, radiant surfaces and bio mass.



I+D+i (investigate, develope, innovate). Façade closing. A practical propose.

The course will combine master clases of some specific ítems, with the exposure and discusion of works done, on groups or indibiduality, by the students:



-The team-works, Theoretical and Practical Exercises (25%+25%), will be done joining a presentation. Every week, 2 groups have to make their own presentation according to the stablished timetable, at the beginning of the course. This works will be an opportunity to apply the theoretical contents we already have explained in class (this practices will be carried out in groups of a maximum of three people).



-The individual work (50%) will be developed, every week, after the two presentations of the groups. So the students will have enough time to do it in class with the continuous advice and support of the teacher. This kind of workshop classes will be used to develop this work and to contrast the progress with the teacher. This works will be an opportunity to apply the theoretical contents in a case close to reality.

This subject includes the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION and part of it could be done, due to the health crisis situation caused by the Covid-19 virus, on a non-presential way.



1. ORDINARY CALL

1.1- CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SYSTEM

1.1-1. EVALUATION PERCENTAGE:



PRESENTATION OF THEORETICAL ITEM 25%

PRESENTATION OF THE BIOCLIMATICAL BUILDING 25%

NON-PRESENTIAL INDIVIDUAL WORK 50%



1.1.2- QUALIFICATION TOOLS AND PERCENTAGES:

- ANALYZE, UNDERSTAND AND EXPLAIN ON GROUP THE GIVEN TOPIC; Making a comparison with what is explained in class (25%).

- ANALYZE, UNDERSTAND AND EXPLAIN ON GROUP A CHOSEN BUILDING; Taking into account the passive strategies explained in class (25%).

- NON-PRESENTIAL INDIVIDUAL WORK; Development of a single-family house, using in the design, as many passive strategies as you can, with the capacity to adapt to different situation, depending on the orientation, the weather conditions and the microclimate (50%).



1.1.3- The process of the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION, will be established carrying out all the work outlined in the previous section and will be taking into account the percentage of each. Thus,

the student may pass the lesson if he or she scores 50 or more points (out of 100 points).



1.2. FINAL EVALUATION

1.2.1- The students who have renounced the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION, within the first 18 weeks, as the calendar of 2020-2021 academic year says (this denial shall be communicated to the teacher in writing), they have been transferred directly to the FINAL EVALUATION system.



1.2.2- The FINAL EVALUATION for these students, as they would be from the beginning of the course in the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION, they would have to make THE NON PRESENTIAL FINAL WRITTEN TEST, with the value of 50% of the grade. They will also have to make a PRACTICAL WORK, consisting of the delivery of three different exercises, which will have a value of 50%, completing the total grade 100% of the lesson mark. The date and time of the final non-presential written test, will be the one that sets the calendar of the published continuous evaluation timetable.



1.2.3- The FINAL WRITING TEST and the PRACTICAL WORKS delivered, will have to get a mark of 5 or more (from 10 points). They must all have to be approved, to make the average grade, so that they can get the FINAL grade to pass the lesson. That is to say, that to pass the lesson using this methodology, students have to pass all, the NON-PRESENTIAL WRITING TEST and the PRACTICAL WORKS, as shown in the Lesson Study Guide.



1.2.4- The statements of the following practical works are maintained as set out in the Study Guide:

- THEORETICAL ITEM: ANALYZE, UNDERSTAND AND EXPLAIN ON A PDF THE GIVEN TOPIC; Making a comparison with what is exposed in class or through eGela.

- BIOCLIMATICAL BUILDING: ANALYZE, UNDERSTAND AND EXPLAIN ON A PDF A CHOSEN BIOCLIMATICAL BUILDING; Taking into account the passive strategies exposed in class or through eGela.

- PASSIVE DESIGN; Development of a single-family house, using in the design, as many passive strategies as you can, with the capacity to adapt to different situation, depending on the orientation, the weather conditions and the microclimate.



1.2.5- This students must DELIVER the following assignments that will be published through the eGela app platform, the last day of class, according to the 2020-2021 calendar. The individual written test will be carried out virtually, through eGela platform, on the day and time established in the Official Calendar of Evaluation Tests, published on the website of the School.

Documents provided by the profesor.

To facilitate virtual teaching, all the theoretical lessons are gong to be in eGela:
-The group theoretical exercise (item) will be uploaded in eGela by a PDF file.
-The group practical exercise (bioclimatical building) will be uploaded in eGela by a PDF file.
-The individual exercise (passive building) can be done by your own and at the end of the course, upload, the final delivery, in eGela by a PDF file.

Concerning the final deliveries and brief presentations of the works done on group, they will be held on the day specified, on the corresponding timetable, at the beginning of the course, if possible.

Concerning the final deliveries and brief presentations of the works done individually, they will be held at the end of the semester if possible.

The general communication will be done through eGela messages (which students receive as emails) or via direct emails when addressed, to specific students.
