solutions for buildings which can achieve
more while needing less technology. Its aim
is to develop buildings which offer maximum
comfort while using a minimum amount of
energy. Thus, a holistic approach towards the
planning procedure becomes necessary.
Architecture and technology should not be
planned in a serial manner, but must form a
balanced and complete system at the end of a
multidimensional process.

Often a critical examination of the individual
facade aerodynamics requirements can reveal great potential for sa-
vings. The location of a building has possibili-
ties and requirements which have to be taken
into account, in particular the design of the
architect
construction building layout and facade. Many technical
ventilation concept systems can be dispensed with provided the
facade is matched to the building use and is
equipped with all the required functional ele-
climatedesigner structural engineer ments. The integration of the ventilation and
the building concepts can save drive energy

Ventilation in conjunction with thermal sto-

STUDYING CLIMATEDESIGN
6|
Target group
The postgraduate course is aimed at technical engineers from the disciplines of architecture, civil enginee-
ring, building services engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and physics with at least
one year of professional experience. The postgraduate course has an international and interdisciplinary
orientation and can be attended as a part time course.
Know-how
ClimateDesign teaches a holistic design approach towards the sustainable use of energy and the appro-
priate implementation of building climatology. Aspects of architectural design as well as technical and
physical aspects will be dealt with in a multidisciplinary manner. The emphasis of the training lies in the de-
velopment of innovative concepts for buildings and in the application of dynamic simulation methods. The
4- semester course has a high professional relevance in terms of work on actual projects and is involved in
current research topics.
Working area
The area of work of a ClimateDesigner lies in the broader occupational field of an architect. As a project ma-
nager, coordinator and consultant for innovative building concepts he/she will be essential for engineering
consultancies, project management offices, building owner associations and in construction companies.
Even a position as a product developer and consultant to the industry, to research facilities and the free
enterprise is possible.
Number of participants
To ensure the quality of the course the University operates a one step qualification screening test with a
personal selection interview. 20-30 students are admitted per course.

Project work, practical experience workshop
At the end of each of the three study semesters a project assignment is carried out to test the acquired
knowledge. The project work deals with the holistic approach towards a concrete building assignment
during which specific questions can be worked on thoroughly. Interdisciplinary teams train their ability to
mutually develop concepts from the first idea into a detailed design while jointly expanding their commu-
nication abilities
Types of study
The study contents are taught mainly in lectures, seminars, compact courses and workshops. The acquired
knowledge is then applied intensively in project work and practical exercises. The languages of tuition are
German and English.
Locations
One day seminars will mainly take place in the localities of the Technische Universität München. Seminars
and workshops with a longer duration will possibly take place at other venues such as national and interna-
tional partner universities. Competencies in the field of soft skills, such as team work abilities and conflict
resolution, will be taught wherever possible under particular circumstances, e.g. during a sailing trip or
while hiking in the mountains. Next to the intensive subject related debate concerning ClimateDesign, these
venues also offer the participants the possibility to exchange work related experiences, to communicate
and to develop new approaches.
The individual modules have aligned contents and goals and will be checked regularly regarding their rele-
vance and up-to-dateness with regard to the latest developments and innovations.
During each of the first three semesters 6 mandatory modules have to be accomplished. The fourth seme-
ster is dedicated to the Master‘s Thesis. For each semester a total of 30 ECTS credits (European Credit
Transfer System) will be awarded. A total of 120 Credits can be earned.

Soft skills
Wind tunnel
The wind tunnel offers possibilities for the development of concepts for facades with natural
ventilation as well as for measurements of building dynamics.
Artificial sky
The Faculty of Architecture‘s artificial sky can be used as a basis for decisions concerning con-
cepts of lighting. It can also be used for the simulation of light.
Solar station
At the station for solar research, practical experiments concerning the use of solar energy take
place as well as measurements for ventilation and daylight. Innovative concepts for facades can
be controlled at a 1:1 scale and can be metrologically measured.

EXCURSIONS
In addition to one day excursions in Munich and proximity, two longer excursions will take place.
Apart from the visit to innovative building projects, research facilities and factories, there will also
be a workshop of several days with project work at one of our partner universities. During work in
international teams different approaches to the planning process will be discussed and specific
knowledge will be exchanged. Intercultural communication and building related requirements in
the international context can be obtained.
