Aims |
|
|
To develop from user requirements an introduction to design of passive and active environmental systems for buildings, their integration into building fabric and structural systems, and selection of appropriate design options, equipment and materials. |
|
Learning Outcomes |

Syllabus |
|
|
Environmental architecture: Lessons from vernacular architecture. Different passive strategies for different climate regions. Bioclimatic design for a variety of climatic regions: designing with water, earth, wind, the sun, and energy as part of the internal environment of a working building. Use of passive and technological systems. Use of building materials; - Use of environmental modeling tools. Case studies. |
