• Tilmeld dig til Uddannelsen i Bygningsinformatik senest den 15.12.2008.
  Dette er en toårig overbygning på en bachelor-, diplomingeniør- eller bygningskonstruktøruddannelse. Kandidaterne vil typisk arbejde i spændingsfeltet mellem softwareudviklere/systemleverandører og brugerne af IKT-systemer i byggeriets virksomheder. Uddannelsen fokuserer såvel på kompetencer indenfor identifikation af brugerbehov, systemudvikling og -evaluering som på en dyb forståelse for byggebranchens forretningsprocesser, informationsbehov kommunikation og samarbejde samt modeller af produkter og processer.

  En af de største udfordringer i byggesektoren i dag er at optimere kommunikationen mellem de forskellige byggeteams. Byggesektoren er sammensat af mange fagområder der hver især har udviklet og anvender sin egen terminologi, teknologi og måde at videregive oplysninger til hinanden på.

  Prof. Vladimir Bazjanac fra Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Center for Building Science, vil orientere om de nyeste trends indenfor sektoren og vil specielt fokusere på følgende temaer der menes at vil få meget stor betydning for fremtidens byggeindustri.

  • Seneste teknologiske udviklinger og trends som har indflydelse på byggeindustrien
  • Brug og indflydelsen af anvendelse af IT i bygningsdesign, konstruktion m.v.
  • Ændringer af de metoder og tekniker som arkitekter og bygningsdesignere vil anvende i fremtiden.
  • Karakteristika og information om fremtidens software for byggeindustrien

  You are all very welcome.
