2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
This course will provide the doctoral student with in-depth knowledge in the following areas, which will enable the processing and demonstration of scientific results in the fields of building constructions value analysis, environmental renovation and property valuation. The course covers the following topics: the obsolescence of buildings, the failures affecting the obsolescence of buildings and building constructions. Condition assessment of building constructions, technologies for the preservation of building value and value impoving by reconstruction. The analysis of value and the methods of real estate valuation. Value enhancement through renovation, building rehabilitation and certification of structures. Methods of value analysis and property valuation. Environmentally friendly aspects in the building industry, healthy buildings and living/working circumstances. Building biology and indoor comfort.
2.2 Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject, the student:
A. Knowledge
- Have an overview of the failures of building constructions.
- Can properly assess the condition of building constructions according to various inspection criteria.
- Know the consequences of constructional failures and damages.
- Has an overview of the obsolescence of building structures, value prevention technologies, renovation options, taking into account environmental considerations.
- Understands the advantages and disadvantages of assessment methods and the accuracy of estimation of the assessment methods used.
- Knowledge of the characteristics of healthy buildings, building biology and comfort conditions.
- Understands standards, regulations and the need to take them into account from a certification point of view.
- Interprets in a creative way the expected trends in the development and improvement of the technical field.
- Possesses the knowledge of research methodology necessary for independent research in the field of engineering.
B. Skills
- Professionally summarise the topics of building construction value assessment.
- Effectively use knowledge acquisition methods (textbooks, catalogues, scientific articles, online resources) in his/her work.
- Reliably evaluate the results of valuation methods.
- Can assess the condition of building structures and provide renovation solutions.
- Ability to apply theoretical knowledge in a critical and considered context when assessing a given building/building structure.
- Ability to carry out research in his/her field of specialisation, to solve specific problems encountered; to develop and apply new interdisciplinary methods.
- Ability to develop and demonstrate new research techniques and approaches in a given discipline.
C. Attitudes
- Collaborate with the teacher and fellow students in the development of knowledge.
- Expands his/her knowledge through continuous learning and is open to new ways of acquiring information.
- Strives to use professional terminology in a professional manner.
- Is committed to and critical of professional, technological development and innovation in engineering.
- Committed to quality standards.
