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 |
|
(LO1) Students to be able to identify plausible strategies and material use from vernacular architecture to use in modern buildings to reduce energy consumption. |
|
(LO2) Students to be able to select appropriate passive strategies for the climate of the building. |
|
(LO3) Students to be able to appreciate the importance of using computer simulation to analyse their design options and BIM. |
|
(LO4) Students to be able to select appropriate materials, including consideration for re-use and re-cycling. |

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. |
