Educational objectives The course aims to provide the analytical bases functional to the evaluation models and design methods related to the "planning and verification for the purposes of fire prevention", understood as a service referable primarily to the activities subject to the control of fire prevention and, more generally, to workplaces where fire risk assessment is required to verify safety conditions (general terget).
Knowledge and understanding: students will be able to address the issues related to fire safety management both from the point of view of risk analysis and planning of technical and organizational requirements compliant to provisions of Fire Prevention Code.
Applying knowledge and understanding: ability to make design choices concerning the safety of activities subject to control.
The course also allows students to acquire independent judgment according to the skills of: preliminary document analysis; checks; technical-regulatory framework; elaboration of the project and the technical report.
The required learning skills will improve to the process of self-learning (learning skills) that will continue according to the expected professional skills of the learning process (fire safety design), as well as to the required specific issues.

Educational objectives Main objective
The course provides the scientific basis to understand and learn (a) the main factors that can influence the healthiness of buildings compromising the users’ health, as well as (b) the performance’s objectives to apply in order to identify appropriate technical solutions for health.
Specific objectives
• To understand the role of the built environment in determining the health of the population, referring to the most recent scientific evidence on the subject, the World Health Organization’s guidelines and the current legislation.
• To learn the indoor risk factors (chemical, physical and biological), their sources and the buildings’ characteristics that have an impact on their presence and effects.
• To know the performance’s objectives of buildings compatible with the users’ well-being.
• To be able to critically examine case studies which can help the identification of good practices to improve the psycho-physical well-being of users.
• To be able to draw up a technical report that includes the quality assessment of the indoor environment with respect to a specific risk factor and the proposal of appropriate technical solutions.

Educational objectives The course illustrates, after having introduced the essential features of the mechanical behaviour of soil, the techniques for the execution and support of excavations, also in relation to the potential factors of risk during the construction. It also describes the methods employed for the evaluation of the stability of unsupported excavations and those used for the design of retaining walls.
