Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

This course aims to explore in depth the building techniques in terms of performance of
building envelopes and some energy systems.

The course includes the following topics: - the building energy balance, - the EPB current energy legislation, - the assessment of occupants' comfort, - the infiltration, condensation and transfer of water vapor in buildings,

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The course objectives are:
- Knowing the different techniques for building envelopes and energy systems.
-Acquire the skills necessary for the overall design of the envelope and its energy efficiency
- Being able to make the calculations associated with a preliminary energy design of buildings.
- Calculate and measure the heat transfer in a wall.
- Knowing the current standards and being able to complete a project according to them.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

ARCH3258-1: Techniques de construction durable des bâtiments IA : Eléments

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

During practical works, students have to develop technical details for buildings and systems design and calculate their energy performance.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face course


Additional information:

The course applies a hybrid teaching approach (Blended Learning), which presents a mix of different pedagogical methods for achieving the objectives of the course.


  • Face-to-face presence from September to December: Ex-cathedral courses, Practical work. 
  • Exam form: Open book is written exam, Continuous evaluation of the project during the semester.

Recommended or required readings

  • The slides are provided during the course (in pdf).
  • Course Book: S. Attia, Techniques de Construction Durable des Bâtiments II -Enveloppe, the book is available at the CDC.

Exam(s) in session

Any session

- In-person

oral exam

Continuous assessment


Additional information:

The assessment includes: -a written exam (open book) on the theoretical course, for 50% of the final grade. -the scoring of practical work, for 50% of the final grade. Students who have not completed all compulsory activities may not be admitted to the exam (if an exam is organized). The absence of compulsory duty does not allow a quantified evaluation of the student's work. An "A" grade is therefore awarded in this case (unless there is a specific justification examined with fairness by the teacher and accepted by the latter).
