The author discusses an opportunity to implement methodological support of a general physics course practical part due to the calculation and graphic work connected with climatic conditions design in premises of various destination that meet requirements for a comfort level in an occupied zone. Such task provides clear evidence of physical laws importance in building industry engineering work. The interdisciplinary relation between physical education and students’ future professional activities increases their motivation for studying.

The thermotechnical characteristics of a thermally insulated door panel used in the manufacture of entrance door blocks for public buildings in low temperature conditions have been determined. An installation based on a ‘Terkon’ signal converter and a climate chamber was used for the study. Mathematical modeling was carried out using the ‘COMSOL’ software with boundary conditions of the 3rd kind – heat transfer at a difference in ambient and surface temperatures inside and outside the climate chamber.
