Environment and Workplace Prevention Techniques

Basic quantities of technical physics: energy, heat, temperature, power Heat transfer: conduction, convection, radiation Thermal comfort: environmental and physiological parameters Workplace microclimate: classification and risk factors Regulatory indicators (WBGT, ISO 7730, Fanger index) Basics of ventilation, insulation, and environmental control strategies Risk assessment and prevention related to adverse microclimatic conditions

A basic understanding of fundamental physics concepts is required, especially regarding temperature, heat, energy, and units of measurement for physical quantities.

Students will have access to lecture notes in digital format, including lesson slides, summary charts, reference tables, and basic exercises. Materials will be made available on the university's online learning platform and serve as a support for individual study.

Attendance is mandatory and strongly recommended for successful learning.

Learning is assessed through a written test, consisting of multiple-choice and/or short-answer questions. The test aims to evaluate the understanding of basic principles of environmental technical physics and the ability to apply this knowledge to the analysis of microclimatic conditions in living and working environments.

The module consists of in-person classroom lectures, for a total of 8 hours, delivered using multimedia presentations, practical examples, and instructor-provided materials. Lectures focus on the basic principles of applied environmental technical physics, especially regarding microclimate and occupational prevention. The course includes: Theoretical explanation of relevant physical phenomena (heat transfer, environmental comfort, microclimate) Discussion of practical cases and applied scenarios Simplified exercises on the use of assessment indices (e.g. WBGT, Fanger) Possible demonstrative use of environmental measurement tools (when available) Student engagement to enhance understanding and application of the topics
