The course aims to provide sufficient knowledge on sanitary zone planning and material selection, vertical circulation elements, design criteria and material selection for artificial lighting and acoustics in interior spaces, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) elements.

1. Understands the fundamental principles of building physics and energy use in the design of physical environmental systems, including lighting, acoustics, and HVAC, and recognizes the importance of using appropriate performance evaluation tools (KNOWLEDGE).
2. Understands the fundamental principles of building service systems, including water and electrical installations, circulation, communication, and security systems (KNOWLEDGE).
3. Integrates water and electrical installations as design inputs for wet areas within building service systems (SKILL).
4. Understands the principles and standards related to the production, use, application, environmental impact, and reusability of building materials in the context of technological advancements (KNOWLEDGE).
5. Selects and details materials for sanitary zones, stairs, interior partition walls, suspended ceilings, wall and floor coverings and evaluates the physical environmental factors, thermal and visual comfort parameters of the project using relevant digital programs (COMPETENCE).
