At the end of this course, students should be able to:
acquire competence on the fundamental physical phenomena (thermal, acoustic and lighting) and hvac equipments, aimed at an sustainable and energy-conscious design;

identify the main typologies of mechanical and water supply plants that use renewable energy and favour the solutions to energy and water saving;
acquire consciousness to work in a technical professional team in order to choose the optimal solutions.

At the end of the course, students should be able to:
 design of the comprehensive architectural project in response to the influence of the structural, material, and construction technology design decisions;
 acquire knowledge and critical thinking skills on a sustainable approach to environmental design at the large and small intervention scale;
 understand the interdisciplinary nature of technology, the technical feasibility and the implications of these with environmental impact, energetic behaviour and welfare condition;
 understand the role of technological design as a key part of technological development, justifying its importance on sustainable development and energetic, economic and welfare conditions;
 ability to assess, select, and conceptually integrate structural systems, building envelope systems, environmental systems, life-safety systems, and building service systems into building design.
