Postgraduate course

Well I’m still not sure about what I would like to study next but I think it should be something related with thermal isolation of different materials, I don’t know if there is a course about that but I´m pretty interested in that since I lived in Denmark, because it was very surprising to me that home was never cold, and not only my house, all of them where perfectly heated, always… and I started to ask about their heating system. I thought, “Well they must have such a modern system, probably the best in the world “ and I was more surprised when I figured out that in most of the houses they just had a traditional chimney.

 I was shocked, so I started a mini investigation, and I found that they have an entire law system for buildings that actually defined everything. For example you were not allowed to build windows with only one glass, there must be minimum two (like a double one), and in some places they should be even three!, the buildings must be elevated at least 50 cm (far away from the cold of the ground), and the minimum width of a wall should be 40 cm (made with special isolating materials in between). So for that reason, when  I came back to Chile I was so used to enter to a place and take of my shoes and my jacket because it was warm enough, but here every place is colder or warmer (in summer) than the other! And I think I would never have noticed that if I haven’t lived in DK. 

 So that’s why I’m interested on that, and I would love to know more about that and then maybe I could help to create a special building law for every area of Chile. I think I would definitely have to study in another country, I don’t know if Dk would be the right one…

I would like to study in the traditional way with classes and maybe do a sort of investigation later... Maybe it would be good to have a part time job at the same time, then I would have money for traveling around!
