Kursens upplägg

 

Kursen innehåller teoretiska och praktiska moment om hur:

• bebyggelsen påverkar strålningsbalansen, energiflöden, temperatur-, fukt- och vindförhållanden i marknära skikt
• människans energibalans i relation till utomhusmiljön, olika termiska index för att beskriva den termiska komforten samt koppling mellan människa, klimat och beteende
• tillämpning av klimatkunskap inom stadsplanering och design.

Undervisningen består av föreläsningar, övningar (obligatoriska), fältmätning (obligatorisk), seminarier (obligatoriska), litteraturuppgift (obligatorisk) samt handledning.

 

 

Welcome to the course "Urban climate and climate sensitive design" 7.5 points (GE6000),

 

The course is given in the fifth semester of the physical geography/climatology focused undergraduate programme in Earth Sciences and in the third semester of the master's programme in Geography.

Course start: 20210930-- 20211102

Online registration:  20210923 -- 20210930

Course content

The course deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of:

• Effects of urban housing on radiation balances, energy fluxes, temperature, humidity and wind conditions of near surface layers
• Energy balance of humans in relation to the outdoor environment, thermal comfort indices and the relationship between humans, climate and behaviour
• Incooporation of climate knowledge into urban planning and design

The course comprise of lectures, compulsory guest lectures, compulsory exercises, a compulsory field study, compulsory seminars and a compulsory litterature assignment.

 

The schedule is preliminary up to two weeks before the start of the course.
