Subject: Systems optimization
From knowledge acquired in the former semester and in coordination with Project subject, based on its work, the work to develop in this semester, in this subject, will be the attendance of the project through analysis of several components, sides of building's physics and its consequent optimization, within a dialogue between architecture and specialities.
In this subject we introduce the concept of building while technical system. The student should articulate and coordinate the different specialities in a coherent whole, understanding them as elements which are part of the project and contribute to definition of architectonic expression. We still give relevance to efficiency and sustainability issues.

Contents
1. Coordination of different systems, diagnosis and optimization of building's energetic fulfilment.
2. Concept and strategies related to environment impact.

Teaching Methods
The subject is developed into two periods. One first moment in which we are going to review the basic concepts of different studied systems in former semesters and solutions type will be presented, these ones dedicated to ongoing work of project subject. In a second period, through periodic work sessions and with just one expert in each session where the solutions presented by the student to each speciality will be discussed along the semester.
Assessment
The assessment regime seeks to highlight the objectives of the curricular unit, promoting continuous work and the consolidation of knowledge, as well as the development of research habits, essential conditions for critical inquiry and the enrichment of students' architectural culture.
Assessment is governed by the continuous assessment system.
Students must attend 75% of the classes taught (60% of classes for students with working student status).
The assessment in the final exam consists of an individual work with oral presentation.
EXERCISE 01: 15%
EXERCISE 02: 15%
EXERCISE 03: 25%
EXERCISE 04: 40%
REGULAR SEASON EXAM: 40%
Participation: 5%
The final grade of the work, continuous assessment, will be calculated using arithmetic average, and the final grade cannot be less than 10 points. Failure to present a group work will result in that work being assigned a grade of 0 (zero).
