MethodologyToggle Navigation

In order for students to materialize the learning outcomes defined above, the methodology of project or problem-based learning (Project Based Learning; PBL) will be followed, a teaching technique based on self-learning and the development of critical thinking, whose The objective is that the students, gathered in small groups (3 people) and with the facilitation of a tutor, analyze and solve a problem posed in the form of a scenario for the achievement of certain learning objectives. To do this, these groups will work on four projects that will be based on the drafting of various technical documents, which will allow identifying, calculating, discussing and designing a solution to the initially proposed scenario. This active methodology with continuous assessment will promote group work and guided learning so that students can achieve excellence at the end of the course. Along with this main activity, there will be two other activities within the subject. On the one hand, based on specific theoretical tests, a control of the individual knowledge of each student will be carried out. In turn, based on already built architectural projects, each student will carry out individual work that will focus on writing a document that reflects how they have been integrated and how the energy installations have influenced the selected building(s). To facilitate and ensure student learning, both group and individual practices and theoretical content tests will be monitored. Feedback will be provided based on previously established evaluation criteria, so that students have the opportunity to become aware of their learning, as well as ways to improve it.



Assessment systemsToggle Navigation

Students have the right not to follow the subject trough the continuous evaluation and to pass it by means of a final evaluation method on the ordinary convocatory.

The final evaluation for the extraordinary call will consist in the delivery of all THREE courses long the activities as well as taking a written exam. AN AVERAGE GRADE OVER 5 IN EVERY DELIVERY WILL BE MANDATORY, and none of them could get below 4.

In order to do this, the student should deliver the teacher his ir her written resignation before the 9th week.

Not attending the final test, nor delivering the chores will imply the students resignation. Resignations will be recorded as “no show” .

The evaluation for this course, will be continuous, and will be fulfilled by the following chores:



Chore 1: electricity : 40%

Chore 2: Natural Lighting: 15%.

Chore 3: Artificial light 15%

Written test (Exam): 30%

TOTAL: 100%



The written test developed on the exam date, will have both a theoretical and a practice part. Theory will be graded over 70% and practical 30%. An average grade of 5 will be required, and none of the parts could get below 4 in order to get admitted for evaluation.

Compulsory materialsToggle Navigation

The course uses the eGela platform from the Virtual UPV-EHU campus, where the subjects program, the guides for the 3 exercise and Project chores, the study material for each subject, debate forums, glossary, wikis, lecture questionnaires and evaluation ones. Necessary chores and data will be uploaded to the platform as the course develops.
