Construction physical measurements (3cr)

Objective

Competence in structural engineering
Students are competent in choosing the required and appropriate measurements to ensure the physical function of buildings. Students know how to apply the measurement standards, how to interpret the findings and how to propose remedies to improve the construction physical features of buildings.

Competence in the construction process
Students are competent in determining how construction solutions and mistakes affect the physical function of buildings. Students understand how the quality of the construction work affects the energy efficiency and other physical features of the building.
