Learning Objectives
Knowledge acquired: (at the end of the course): making use of maps for people involved in landscape at a technical / scientific position; to understand strength or failure of materials.
Competence acquired (at the end of the course): Ability to work with maps, to choose which ones fit a specific purpose; to realize strength of structural members; to design main forest and rural buildings.
Skills acquired (at the end of the course):
ability to work with maps, choosing suitable maps for a particular use. Ability to work with the planning of forest buildings, to decide on solar thermal collectors best fitting the conditions of use.

Course program
Maps, general issues, projections overview; map use, map accuracy related to graphic uncertainty at representation scale. Reading the map, horizontal/vertical measurements on a map. Geodetic datums overview. Coordinate systems: UTM grid reference system; MGRS overview; orienting a map to the ground with a compass. Global Navigation Satellite Systems overview: GPS; reading topographic maps; working with UTM coordinate system and longitude -latitude grid. Topographic map symbols, map legend.
Forest building: forces overview, composition, decomposition. Free-body diagram for a rigid body. Design of members in direct stress, bending, shear, buckling.
Loads on building components. Building materials, embodied energy, emerging materials composed of vegetation. Elements of construction. Planning of animal housing and constructions related to forest production. Reading design drawings. Heat transfer overview. Solar radiation. The path of the sun along the day for the different seasons. Heliothermic diagrams related to building orientation. Solar thermal collectors, the efficiency curve . Types and main components of solar plants for the building. The efficiency curve as a tool to choose the thermal solar collector that best fits the given conditions of use.
