2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
Students become familiar with the durability and emission properties of construction materials. Aspects and requirements of the selection of construction materials based on energy and raw material demand and toxic emission. Types of air, water, soil water and soil pollutions. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and its influencing factors. Cradle to grave and Cradle to building in approach. Natural construction materials and technologies, high-tech materials, alternative building materials and their properties.
2.2 Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject, the student:
A. Knowledge
- Knows the properties of special construction materials
- Knows the application technologies of natural, high-tech and alternative construction materials
- Is able to choose and compare the construction materials based on an environmental point of view for different building elements.
B. Skills
- Is able to judge and compare the advanced material properties,
- Is able to choose the proper construction material for the building elements,
- Is able to apply the theoretical phenomenon during exact technical tasks.
- Is able to make an LCA on building material.
C. Attitudes
- ;Cooperates with the professor,
- Participates in life-long learning (communication, knowledge, technical terms),
- Open to use up to date information technology,
- During homework intends to apply different types of gaining knowledge (notes, laboratory protocols, catalogues, online references).
D. Autonomy and Responsibility

Assessment and evaluation of the learning outcomes
3.1 General rules
The assessment of the learning outcomes is specified in clause 2.2. above and the evaluation of student performance occurs via homework, presentation of assignments, examination and classwork.
3.2 Assessment methods
| Evaluation form | Abbrev. | Assessed learning outcomes |
| 1. homework | HW | A.1-A.3; B.1-B.4; C.1-C.3; D.1 |
| 1. presentation | P | A.1-A.3; B.1-B.4; C.1-C.4; D.1-D.6 |
| Examination | E | A.1-A.3; B.1-B.4; C.1 |
The dates of deadlines of assignments/homework can be found in the detailed course schedule on the subject’s website.
3.3 Evaluation system
| Abbreviation | Score |
| HW | 30% |
| P | 20% |
| Total achievable during the semester | 50% |
| E | 50% |
| Sum | 100% |
3.4 Requirements and validity of signature
Signification can be obtained by getting min. 50% of the available points on midsemester results (HW, P) and perform the required presence on contact hours.
3.5 Grading system
| Grade | Points (P) |
| excellent (5) | 85%<=T |
| good (4) | 74%<=T<85% |
