This course offers advanced knowledge on HAM (Heat Air and Moisture) modeling. The most up-to-date simulation models will be presented and used by the participants during simulation workshops.
Lightweight construction correspond to wooden-framed or prefabricated system fulfilled with a lightweight biobased material. Knowing the technical aspects, limitations and solutions, rules, public market, but also building physic is essential for a good conception and the management of the project.

The course is focused on constructive details for regenerative materials used to build high-quality envelops and high-comfort environments. The participant are learning through a hands-on workshop during which they will produce samples and conduct field test analysis in small groups.
Regenerative materials come in a wide variety of forms and compositions, from raw materials to industrialized construction systems. Knowing the specificities of these different materials is needed to adopt the appropriate constructive choice adapted to the socio-economic situation of the territory and the resource availability.

Earth construction is attracting attention in contemporary construction. New strategies have been developed for innovation, combining traditional techniques with modern construction systems and new materials. These constructions are still challenging with regards to standards and building codes, but many solutions exist to fulfil the expectation and ambition to make a different architecture.

Regenerative Materials can be used to build high-quality envelops and high-comfort environments. The course present the basics of hygrothermal building physics and the state of the art in this field. It gives an overview of the type of earth and bio-based materials that can be used and the range of their hygrothermal properties.
The last module of the CAS consists in an individual or group project exercise, that will be presented during a final review on the 15th of May 2020
Based on the content of previous courses, the participant are asked to simulate to analyse the hygrothermal behaviour of a building built with the constructive technique they studied. In addition, they have to reproduce the measurements and monitoring conditions and compare them to simulation results. The results and discussion is presented in front of a jury.
New construction represent only one percent of construction per year in European countries. Re-valuing the existing building stock is therefore a priority. Using bio-based insulation for energy retrofit and the reuse of building component in case of building demolition represent promising carbon-neutral solutions for the construction sector.
