19	Objective of the Course:	This course has fundamental knowledge about concept of physical environment and elements of building physics. The aim of this course is to give information about thermal comfort, heat insulation, humidity and condensation, sound insulation, noise control and lighting (natural and artificial light sources). This course aims to take measures to ensure comforts provisions so that people can be healthy and productive in their living quarters and to teach the environmental control criteria for the planning and construction phases of a building. It also aims to teach how to take measures to ensure comfort provisions in people’s living quarters for a healthy and productive life.
