Civil Engineering - Building Environment VSB - Technical University of Ostrava

Overview

Students from VSB - Technical University of Ostrava's Civil Engineering - Building Environment program will acquire professional knowledge necessary for design, operation or management work in the areas of building environment engineering, energy performance of buildings and building construction.

The first semester concentrates mainly on theoretical and vocational subjects focused on deepening and extending knowledge especially in the theoretical areas of thermomechanics, building thermal technology, acoustics, lighting, energy behavior of buildings. They are followed by specialized subjects focusing on the analysis and design of technical building equipment and building energy systems, the use of alternative and renewable energy sources, ventilation and cooling systems for buildings. Students will acquire knowledge in the areas of management, measurement and regulation of technical and information systems of buildings with regard to the ever-growing demands on smart and energy-efficient buildings.

Career

• The graduates are able to work in various job positions thanks to the broader overview obtained within the framework of the study program Civil Engineering - Environment of Buildings: In practice, graduates are employed in the position of civil engineer with a focus on technical equipment of buildings and environment of buildings, as well as in working positions at various levels of leadership, management and managerial functions of design offices and executives, as well as R&D. 
• Graduates can carry out management positions at the level of engineers, especially in the areas of heating, medical technology, air conditioning, gas distribution in residential, civil, industrial and agricultural buildings, and can act as experts and consultants in the field of building thermal engineering and building power engineering, building acoustics and daylighting buildings. They can apply in the management of production of HVAC components, maintenance of existing files, in laboratories of Building Services, in research and in administrative matters. After meeting the requirements set by the Czech Chamber of Authorized Engineers and Technicians, they can obtain the appropriate level of authorization for independent business in the field of HVAC - field Engineering of Building Environment (specialization Technical Equipment) or in the field of Civil Engineering. After obtaining authorization in one of the above fields, graduates can be authorized in the Energy Audit specialization
