The thesis is a project to newbuild a city community centre (house) with 2 above ground and one underground floor. The project is being processed in a stage for construction, with a focus on building and architectural design. Part of the thesis is building-physical and fire-fighting solutions.

This thesis is focused on multifunctuinal building in Frenstat pod Radhostem. The building is two-storey with basement. Multifuctional building is situated in town centre near roundabout. The surrounding area consist of family houses, supermarket building and prefab housing estate. The goal was to create building that will not disturpt surrounding area with height and size and will create mirror effect on its facede. Mirror effect will show picture of nature around the building, especially of Beskydy mountains, To show Beskydy in the mirror the building has facade rotated to face these mountains. In basement of multifunctional house there is technical background and automatical parking stack. On the first floor the restaurant and cafeteria is situated also textil shop with their own background. On the second floor are situated offices.

Visual integration of the building interior and exterior is one of the charms of today's architecture. The Double-Skin facade system is a technology that can reduce the drawbacks of using glass in a building's elevation. In fact, the double-skin façade (DSF) offers transparency while reducing energy consumption when compared to single-skin systems in cold and moderate weather conditions. However, there is no clear evidence of how the system will perform in hot climate conditions. In this research, a testing procedure was established to experimentally evaluate the performance of the double-skin façade system, data was collected to create multiple regression models, and then evaluate the double-skin façade's performance and compare it to a single-skin system in hot arid climate conditions. / Doctor of Philosophy / Improving the quality of indoor environments is a main goal in today’s architecture. Towards this goal, the use of glass and curtain walls is common in office buildings. The building façade is a key factor for the amount of energy consumed to reach comfort levels in the building. That is, because facades influence lighting, glare, heat gain, noise safety and energy usage. Therefore, the use of glass improves transparency which can interfere with comfort levels inside the building due to solar heat gain. The Double Skin façade system is widely adopted in Europe and has been shown to reduce energy used for heating in cold weather. In winter, heat losses can be reduced as the system’s intermediate cavity acts as a thermal buffer. However, there is no clear understanding of how the system will perform in hot arid climate conditions where cooling is the dominant operating mode. A Double Skin Façade can provide shading during the overheating period, while having the desired glass elevations sought by designers. This is due to ventilation and solar control devices located inside the system’s cavity. Being placed between the interior and the exterior glass panels, solar control devices are protected from the weather, which in return decreases its size. Furthermore, the additional glass panel allows windows in the system’s inner layer to be opened for natural ventilation. Unfortunately, the performance of the Double Skin Façade system for hot arid climate is not well documented. Therefore, the primary goal of this research is to compare the thermal and light performance of the Double Skin Façade system to a single façade system for hot weather conditions.

In this thesis I will deal with structural and technological preparation ELIZABETH - MUZEUM MOTORSPORTU. As a specific phase of construction, which I will focus, I chose a solution glass facade, designed by Schüco. This is the glass panels mounted in an aluminum frame. My work includes technical report, technological prescription for the installation of facades, design mechanical assemblies, time and financial plan, control plan and test plan.

Sammanfattning Denna studie undersöker möjligheten att använda återanvänt trä från rivningsvirke i prefabricerade fasadsystem, med fokus på att minska bygg- och fastighetssektorns koldioxidutsläpp. Syftet är att med hjälp av finita elementmetoden (FEM) modellera och dimensionera fasadelement som kan användas i FÅTT-projektet och Arctic Center of Energy (ACE) i Skellefteå. Studien jämför mekaniska egenskaper mellan gammalt och nyproducerat trä samt undersöker hur fuktinducerade rörelser påverkar fasadelementen. Studiens resultat visade på att Fasadelement 1 med dimension 70x195 mm i ramen alternativt Fasadelement 3 med 45x145 i ramen var bäst lämpade för projektet. Resultaten från litteraturstudien visar att återanvänt trä kan uppfylla de nödvändiga kraven för hållbarhet och formstabilitet, vilket innebär att det finns stor potential för industriell produktion av fasadelement med återbrukat virke. Denna studie bidrar med underlag och kunskap för framtida utveckling och användning av hållbara byggmaterial inom byggindustrin. / Abstract This study investigates the potential of using reclaimed wood from demolition waste in prefabricated facade systems, aiming to reduce carbon emissions in the construction and real estate sector. The purpose is to model and design facade elements using the Finite Element Method (FEM) for the FÅTT-project and the Arctic Center of Energy (ACE) in Skellefteå. The study compares the mechanical properties of old and newly produced wood and examines how moisture-induced movements affect the facade elements. The results of the study showed that Facade Element 1 with dimensions 70x195 mm in the frame or alternatively Facade Element 3 with 45x145 mm in the frame were best suited for the project. The findings from the literature review show that reclaimed wood can meet the necessary requirements for durability and dimensional stability, indicating significant potential for industrial production of facade elements using recycled wood. This study provides insights and a solid foundation for future development and use of sustainable building materials within the construction industry.

The diploma thesis is focused on a proposal and review of load-carrying steel structure of the airport terminal. The object is located in Zlín. It is a building of a rectangular plan with a ground plan dimensions of 75.0 x 54.0 m. The hall contains 10 main frames spaced by 6.0 m. The total height of the object is variable from 11.5 m to 19.9 m. The part of the construction is composite steel – concrete floor structure with a ground plan dimensions of 75.0 m x 27.0 m. The spatial rigidity of the construction is obtain by bracing. The cladding of the roof and the side walls is designed by sendwich panels, the cladding of the face walls is made by the glass facade system.
