Synopsis:

Sustainable building construction, evaluation methodology, evaluation criteria (environmental, economic, social), determination of criteria limits (benchmarks), multi-criteria evaluation, determination of weights, life cycle assessment of environmental impacts - LCA, methods of evaluation of complex quality of buildings, practical application of evaluation on a selected building.

Requirements:

Interest in multicriteria assessments.

Syllabus of lectures:

-

Syllabus of tutorials:

The course takes the form of continuous consultations on specific topics selected from the research topics of the student's dissertation. We will demonstrate the application of multi-criteria evaluation on the problem addressed, which we will design together with the student and then test on specific case studies.

Study Objective:

The goal of the subject is to guide the student through a development and application of a multicriteria assesssment within the scope of her or his PhD thesis.
