Course Purpose and Objectives: It aims at introducing research tools and methodological approaches of in-situ recording and documenting of buildings and urban sites, as well as individual structural and morphological building elements, while it includes methodologies for the classification, evaluation and processing of monitoring data.  
Learning Outcomes: Acquiring background knowledge and developing tools for in-situ recording of building blocks, buildings and structures (recording in data sheets, use of traditional and contemporary measuring instruments).
Development of a methodology for the study of details of individual constructions with special equipment.
Acquiring knowledge to record damage and alterations in constructions as well as processing and evaluating the data.
Deepening students’ knowledge in the subject of environmental design of buildings, in recording and analyzing comfort and energy performance conditions of buildings and recording environmental and indoor environment data.
Deepening in issues of digital processes for recording and documenting buildings and building sites. In particular, the students will be able to understand and investigate advanced computational/digital mechanisms and technologies such as 3D scanning, 3D modelling, etc.
 
Prerequisites: Not Applicable 
Co-requisites: Not Applicable 
Course Content: It provides fundamental and specialized knowledge of recording and documenting buildings and building sites through the use of traditional/conventional and contemporary digital methods. It introduces technologies that address issues of spatial organization, morphology and construction of buildings and building sites as well as their 3D representation and documentation in the digital environment. It also addresses the recording and analysis of comfort conditions and energy efficiency of buildings and the recording of external environmental data. Among others, it addresses the recording of operational characteristics and / or specific comfort requirements of the buildings in question and includes the quantitative recording and analysis of parameters for determining thermal and visual comfort conditions.  
Teaching Methodology: Face to face.
Lectures / Tutorials / Field work.
Presentations / lectures in class by lecturers and text analysis by students, in situ visits, discussion - project correction - interim and final presentations in class of projects to be developed.
