Building Envelopes of Green Buildings | |||||||||
| |||||||||
This course focuses on the building envelope and how it can be designed smartly to improve comfort while reducing energy use. The course includes an overview of basic principles of light and wind, and their relationship to site and climate analysis. Relevant software, tools, and analytic methods will be introduced. Participants will obtain an overview of how building envelopes can be optimized for passive solar gains and daylighting, as well as natural ventilation. Additionally, advanced building envelope systems will be discussed, including double skin facades, envelope-integrated renewable energy systems, and green roofs and walls.
