Prof. Ralf Petersen will take over the Department of Building Construction and Design – especially climate-friendly architecture in the Climate Engineering course in the summer semester of 2012
The Bachelor’s degree course in Climate Engineering is a new interface course at Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences. It innovatively combines skills from the fields of architecture and building physics, promotes interaction and leads to a Bachelor of Engineering degree. The content is geared towards the increasing energy and construction requirements in the field of architecture and urban planning. Sustainable architecture with integrative technical solutions and quantitative assessment methods is required.
Conceptually, the Bachelor’s degree course in Climate Engineering aims to grasp the relevant problems in their relevant complexity, to adequately consider a variety of perspectives and to develop practical and forward-looking solutions through a methodical approach. The focus is on architectural, structural, energetic and thermodynamic interrelationships and their application from a design and construction perspective. The following core competencies can be derived from the fields of activity described:
Building physics | architecture | urban planning | materials science | building history | thermodynamics | simulation tools | supply concepts | design methodology | building services engineering | project management
