Descriptions

This further education is based on requirements for the scope of studies in building technology and design of wooden structures for exceptionally demanding structures, as well as study requirements in building mechanics and building physics, in order to have sufficient competence for exceptionally demanding wooden structures. Continuing education meets the requirements of the Ministry of the Environment instructions on building planners' competence MM2 / 601/2015 and FISE's requirements and criteria for wooden structures and load-bearing structures in wood as well as building physics.

This further education deals also with fire dimensioning, stiffening and sound technology in wooden structures as well as the climate footprint and life cycle calculations of wooden buildings.

An important goal in this further education is that it prepares you to take a central role in creating sustainable and climate-smart buildings. Issues related to sustainability and a more climate-smart society are included in the courses. Of the UN's 17 goals for sustainable development according to AGENDA 2030 objectives 3 (Good health and well-being), 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and 13 (Climate action) are most central in this further education.

Objective

The student
- is able to participate efficiently as a structural designer in a project team for the structural design of wooden (or alternatively concrete or steel) structures for demanding buildings and constructions.
- is able to take a central role in creating sustainable and climate-smart buildings.

This further education is based on the requirements for the design competence of demanding and exceptionally demanding structures. The criteria are based on the Land Use and Building Act and the Ministry of the Environment's guidelines on the eligibility of building designers MM2 / 601/2015, as well as the FISE qualification requirements for designers of load-bearing structures.
