| 1 | Explain the fundamentals of heat transfer, moisture transport and acoustic insulation for building envelopes. |
| 2 | Calculate U-values and linear/point thermal bridge values (?, ?) and assess interstitial/surface condensation risk in line with EN ISO 6946, 13788 and 10211. |
| 3 | Compare insulation materials (EPS, XPS, mineral wool, PUR/PIR, phenolic foam, aerogel, VIP, reflective) regarding ?, µ, density, reaction to fire, durability and environmental impact. |
| 4 | Design and detail external insulation systems (ETICS), ventilated/rainscreen façades and roof assemblies (warm/cold/inverted/green) ensuring continuity of insulation and airtightness. |
| 5 | Develop buildable details at critical junctions (openings, balcony/overhangs, slab edges, foundations) to minimise thermal & moisture bridges and to integrate fire barriers and drainage. |
| 6 | Plan site implementation, inspection and quality-control procedures; diagnose common defects; interpret basic field tests (thermal imaging, blower-door) where available. |
| 7 | Evaluate cost, life-cycle performance and embodied carbon of alternative insulation solutions and justify design choices. |
