Learning objectives
The course aims to outline the conceptual framework of bioarchitecture, providing students with practical skills for designing and constructing buildings that prioritize ecology. Special attention is given to the rational use of natural resources and eco-friendly materials. Additionally, the course emphasizes the importance of recent regulations such as circular economy, ecodesign, and the right to repair, integrating these concepts into the design practice. The learning objectives are outlined according to the Dublin descriptors:
1. Knowledge and Understanding: Students will gain a conceptual framework of bioarchitecture, focusing on the selection and use of ecological materials and the rational use of natural resources. They will understand how recent regulations (circular economy, ecodesign, right to repair) influence architectural product design, expanding their awareness of their importance in building management and design. Additionally, they will learn the cognitive and methodological fundamentals essential for addressing sustainability issues and the life cycle of buildings.
2. Applied Knowledge and Understanding: Students will be able to apply bioarchitecture principles in design practice, developing buildings that enhance quality of life by optimizing the relationship between construction and environment. Knowledge will be provided for designing buildings that protect the ecosystem through the use of eco-friendly techniques and natural resources, ideally locally sourced, as in zero-kilometer construction. Students will also integrate renewable energy sources and ensure that projects do not pollute with harmful emissions.
3. Judgment Autonomy: Students will develop the ability to make autonomous decisions during the design phase, consciously integrating ecological and legislative variables into the project and building management. They must critically assess architectural projects concerning their environmental, social, and economic impacts, also considering the potential for easy maintenance, adaptation, or conversion of buildings to minimize resource waste and post-construction costs.
4. Communication Skills: Students will acquire the ability to effectively communicate sustainable strategies and bioarchitecture principles to both technical and non-technical audiences, emphasizing the environmental benefits of the proposed solutions.
5. Learning Ability: Students will develop continuous learning capabilities, allowing them to stay updated on new techniques, tools, and regulations in the field of bioarchitecture and sustainable construction. They must also adapt their skills to different design contexts, responding creatively and responsibly to emerging challenges in the construction sector, with a constant focus on eco-sustainability and innovation.
Teaching program.
The teaching addresses the topic of sustainability across the board. Bio building ... adds the word bio, meaning life at the beginning, because life comes before building. And it is the practical application of bio-architecture: a discipline that applies notions of human health and respect for the environment in the study and construction of buildings, favoring the use of non-polluting materials and energy-saving techniques.
Thus, sustainability is the compass that helps the green architect to design according to the best possible green building standards.
Program content:
- Definition of green building
- Principles of green building
- The advantages (Pros) of green building houses
- The disadvantages (Cons) of green building houses
- Sustainable alternatives
- Green building house advantages and disadvantages
Sustainable design: focus on building life cycle and circular economy
Dry construction system for green building architecture
- Wood and glulam houses

Assessment method.
The examination is conducted by oral interview of the individual student on the set of topics covered in the course, and on what was developed in the design exercises. The delivery and presentation of the design exercises at the end of the course, is an essential prerequisite for being able to take the final exam.

120058 - SENSORS AND MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDINGS
JURI TABORRI
Second Year / Second Semester
3
ING-IND/12
Learning objectives
The course "Measurement and Sensors for Construction" aims to provide students with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills in the field of measurement technologies and sensors used in the construction industry. Students will learn the correct metrological language, as well as understand the operating principles of the main sensors and measuring instruments, exploring the physical and technological principles that support them.
Throughout the course, various types of sensors and their practical applications will be explored in depth, with a focus on the latest innovations. Students will gain the ability to appropriately select and use sensors and measuring instruments in various construction contexts, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the collected data.
The course aims to train professionals capable of addressing the challenges of the modern construction sector, using advanced technologies to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of constructions.
The objective of the "SENSOR" module of the Fundamentals of digital engineering applied to agriculture course is to provide the student with full knowledge of both the correct metrological language and the functioning of the main measuring instruments for digital agriculture applications. The sensors will be analyzed both considering the design process and the operating principle. The expected results according to the Dublin descriptors are the following:
- Knowledge and understanding: Know the definitions of the static and dynamic metrological characteristics, know the definitions of the units of measure, understand the meaning of probability distribution linked to the measure in order to be able to define the extended uncertainty, understanding the working principle of instruments for measuring mechanical and thermal quantities for the construction applications.
- Ability to apply correct knowledge and understanding: Understanding the scientific approach in the field of measurements. Have the ability to independently carry out a measure and associate the correct uncertainty in the function of the instruments used. Understanding the significance of the results through applied statistics.
- Judgment skills: The student will be able to evaluate the sensors most suitable for a given use and will be able to select the correct application in the construction sector.
- Communication skills: The student will acquire the skills to be able to argue the metrological concepts and uncertainty in the exam, as well as the operating principle of sensors and the importance of the world of measurements in the construction sector.
- Ability to learn: The student will acquire the skills to be able to independently deepen the study of advanced sensors and innovative technologies.
The detailed program is as follows:
- Topic 1 Metrology, calibration and statistics (8 hours): Measurement process, Systems of measurement units, Transducer, Static metrological characteristics, Influencing variables, Design criteria of measurement chains, Dynamic metrological characteristics, Gauss curve and deviation mean value standard, Student's t-distribution, Statistical tests, Confidence interval, Uncertainty of type A, Uncertainty of type B, Propagation of uncertainties; Exercises
-Topic 2 Temperature and humidity measurements (6 hours): Resistance thermometers, Thermistors, Thermocouples, Integrated circuit thermometers, Chemical thermometers, Moisture meters;
- Topic 3 Strain and vibration measurements (4 hours): Electrical strain gauges, seismic transducer, accelerometers, introduction to non-destructive measurement methods;
- Topic 4 Air quality and illumination measurements (3 hours): pollution sensors, CO2 sensors; photometer, luxmeter, radiometer.
- Topic 5 Energy consumption measurements (3 hours): current, voltage and power measurements
examMode
The level of knowledge acquired by the student on the topics covered in the course, as well as the effectiveness and clarity in their presentation, are evaluated. The student's preparation is assessed through an oral examination. The oral examination consists of two questions covering the entire syllabus: one question on the metrology part and one question on the sensors part.
