Černák, Jakub ; Formánek, Marian (oponent) ; Počinková, Marcela (vedoucí práce)
The aim of my bachelor´s thesis is revitalization of the traditional cottage in Kopanice region. The project is divided into two parts. The first part contains the documentation for building permission and the second part contains the design of the renewable energy source. During the development of the project documentation, emphasis was placed on the energy efficiency of building, the material used in the project and quality of indoor environment. The house is situated in Slovakia in the village Vaďovce. Revitalization respects the original appearance of the building. House is going to be divided into two parts, one part for guest on ground floor and the second part for family of four in the attic flat. Both flats have a separate entrance. In the guest part is the kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom with toilet. In the attic flat are two kids rooms, bedroom, living room with kitchen and bathroom. Utility room is situated next to the entrance hall of the attic flat. The original part of the house has stone and mudbrick walls. The ceilings are made of wood concrete. New parts of walls are made of blocks. The house is insulated with natural hemp insulation. The house will be heated by floor heating. The thermal comfort during tropical summer days will be provided by ceiling cooling. Source of heat/cold will be a reversible heat pump, type air-water. Auxiliary heat source will be fireplace with water coil. The ventilation of the house is going to be mechanical with heat recovery. Mechanical ventilation unit will have water coil to adjust the air temperature. Renewable source of energy is going to be a small wind power plant with power 5 kW. The wind turbine will be producing electric energy for this house. The house is connected to water main and sewer system. Rainwater will be accumulated and reused for watering. Spare water will be infiltrated into ground. The energy performance certificate is necessary part of this bachelor thesis.

Characterisation of historic materials - the case of Tao-I-Kisra Palace (Iraq)
Slížková, Zuzana ; Pérez-Estébanez, Marta ; Viani, Alberto
The aim of this study is the characterization of bricks from the Taq-I-Kisra palace in southern Iraq (ancient Mesopotamian area). The palace is located in the plain of the Tigri river (see Fig. 1). The construction probably started around year 540 AD even if there is some uncertainty about its age. The arched hall on the facade is about 37 m high and is the largest vault ever constructed at the time (see Fig. 2). Originally conceived as an imperial palace, was later used as a mosque by the Arabs before being gradually abandoned. The historical constructions in this area are what remains of the capital of the empire. In accordance with geological data, in the area where the temple was built (and in general in the Mesopotamian area), the most available construction material was mud. Mud bricks were made mainly of clays. In ancient times there is evidence of mixes with sand, water, mud, and organic material, husks or straw.
