Catalogo dei Corsi di studio

Know the environmental factors that affect human health, with particular reference to the built environment.
Know the study methods used to quantify the levels of human exposure to environmental factors and quantify the health effects.
Know the reference legislation.
Understand the potential in terms of reducing the health risk that could result from the adoption of bio-sustainable choices."

The aim of the course is to provide economic notions necessary for becoming acquainted, analyzing and rationalizing the needs at the root of every project, be it a public or a private one. These must be at the foundation of the intervention plan to be discussed and shared with the client, prior to planning the production process aimed at transforming property into one of greater benefit. The requirements expressed in the intervention plan (through a series of choices of a technical, environmental, financial, economic social and procedural nature) must be translated into a project which, simulating the commissioned building complex or intervention plan, combines production factors and produces the best balance between minimum intervention costs and maximum market value of the final property. To this extent it presents the economic aspects necessary for planning, designing, evaluating, establishing, managing and eventually alienating a property; students will be introduced to the logics and methodology of adaptive expertise. The course will also be teaching the estimation criteria needed towards financial choices entailing both value and convenience, fostering the development of a sustainable intervention plan during the different stages of its life cycle.

Main Goals of the course
The main objective of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge of the main methods of applied geophysics aimed at the study of soil and subsoil to identify the main physical and geometrical characteristics. The course provides the tools necessary to enable the student to independently choose the most appropriate methodology according to the proposed problem. At the end of the course the student will be able to follow geophysical survey and assess the quality of results.

The course aims to provide the technical and theoretical skills for the proper organization and management of the building site for the construction of public and private works

Purposes
The course focuses on the core issues of the energy project of the built environment and aware transformation of the physical space (environmentally conscious design), eco-efficiency and sustainability of the transformation processes, planning, recovery and building renovation, systems and appropriate technology, with a strong and decisive accentuation of interest for the development prospects for application of advanced technologies and systems, renewable energy systems, in particular, their relationship with other active and passive systems in buildings, for outcomes that, overall, can be derived from the integration in architecture. The educational objectives of the course intend to outline new professional skills able to work with technical awareness and cultural sensitivity in the specific field of engineering and energetics, at different scales and levels of intervention, with methodological and operational tools required today, and necessary, against the continuous evolution of the conversion request, the urgency that the issues of sustainability and redevelopment of built environments impose in terms of eco-compatibility of the main interventions. The topics will include: the eco-efficiency of settlement systems and procedures to be implemented for proper practice of energy certification, design and bio-ecological rehabilitation of the built environment, plant systems, quality energy and bio-climatic performance of buildings, renewable integrated systems architecture, systems evaluation and monitoring of performance energy / environmental building structures, building materials, components and systems with innovative technology.

Knowledge of the major hydraulic constructions including aqueducts, sewers, river protections and works to capture fresh water.
