Building physicists - specialists in architecture and civil engineering

Do you have an undergraduate degree in architecture, civil engineering or geomatics and would like to specialize in a particular field? Are you looking for further education courses in this field and would like to find out more about their content? On Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch you can find a wide range of training courses quickly and directly - including the DAS Building Physics FH continuing education course.

This specialist area has become increasingly important in the construction industry, particularly over the last forty years. On the one hand because of the increasing number of apartment buildings (sound insulation), but also as a result of rising oil prices, construction defects in buildings from the 1950s, advanced building materials and the increasing need for comfort.

Well-trained building physicists specialize in the following areas of civil engineering and architecture:

  • Thermal insulation
  • Sound insulation / acoustics
  • Moisture
  • Daylight
  • Fire protection
  • Climate

It is often mistakenly assumed that structural analysis is also part of building physics, but this belongs to the field of structural analysis.

Questions and answers

Building physicists deal with the physical conditions of buildings and structures, including residential and office buildings, bridges, airports, roads, industrial plants and many other buildings. Their expertise in building physics and thermohygrometry helps you to prevent damage to building materials and structures, to incorporate building and living comfort as well as energy efficiency into planning and to draw up renovation concepts.

A DAS Building Physics at a University of Applied Sciences often includes the following topics:

  • General building physics: fundamentals of building physics: heat, moisture, sound, light, relevant standards (e.g. SIA, ISO) and legal requirements, energy efficiency and sustainability in construction
  • Thermal insulation and energy: heat transport mechanisms (conduction, convection, radiation), thermal insulation and thermal envelopes, energy-related building analyses
  • Moisture protection and building climate: Hygrothermal behavior of building components, condensation risks and mold prevention, diffusion-open constructions and moisture management, indoor climate and air quality
  • Sound insulation & acoustics: Sound insulation of building components, room acoustics in living and working spaces, measurement methods and verification procedures
  • Light & daylight planning
  • Sustainability & building standards: Minergie, SNBS, GEAK & other labels, life cycle analyses (gray energy, CO₂ balances)

Note: As the contents of a training course are not uniformly regulated, it is worth asking specific questions before registering. You can use our contact form to send your questions directly to the school and receive all the information you need.

The DAS in Building Physics is a part-time continuing education, further training course that allows you to continue working four days a week. As the compulsory CAS only lasts 12 days (plus a 4-day introductory week), and the supplementary modules take about the same amount of time (CAS Acoustics 4 weeks longer), the individual CAS courses last between 4 and 5 months. Depending on your motivation and available time (a total of around 900 attendance and learning hours), you can complete the Diploma of Advanced Studies DAS in Building Physics within one year or over a maximum period of three years.
The continuing education, further training to become a building physicist is actually designed primarily for architects, building technicians, civil engineers and other professionals working in construction planning who have a university degree and several years of professional experience and want to specialize specifically. However, other interested parties with equivalent education, continuing education, further training and many years of professional experience are also always admitted to the diploma program. Please contact the relevant Universities directly.

Order info
You can become a building physicist as a civil engineer UAS or FIT, architect UAS or in a professional field within building technology or construction planning with a higher professional qualification. Specialized continuing education, further training in building physics, such as a CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) or a DAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) also provides you with up-to-date practical knowledge in physical planning.

The CAS and DAS in Building Physics are generally aimed at specialists from the fields of engineering, architecture, building physics and building technology who explicitly want to continue their education, and who also have a tertiary degree and several years of professional experience in the construction industry.

In doubt as to whether participation is possible? Simply ask the provider directly - quickly, easily and without obligation via our contact form or by clicking on the "Ask a question" button to get in touch with the right contact person.
