Course Objectives

The aim of the course is to provide students with a background on physical environmental parameters and to teach passive and active design principles.

Course Content

Providing theoretical knowledge on passive design principles (such as site planning, building form, building orientation, and climatic factors), design parameters for lighting and noise control, fire-resistant building design, plumbing systems (vertical and horizontal systems), and the placement of HVAC systems within buildings. This theoretical foundation will be reinforced through subsequent studio work, enabling students to consolidate their knowledge and understand the application of these concepts in design.

Learning Outcomes

Code Description
LO1 Adopts passive design principles in environmental systems design, makes appropriate design decisions accordingly, and communicates these decisions using suitable representation techniques.
LO2 Makes informed decisions regarding the integration of active systems into the building and implements the necessary design adjustments.
LO3 Defines the relationship between daylighting and artificial lighting and applies this relationship effectively within the design.
LO4 Demonstrates an understanding of the fundamental principles of acoustics and room acoustics in environmental systems design, and applies this knowledge to the design process.

Academic Integrity and Artificial Intelligence

It includes violations of school integrity, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, but also handing over the work of others,using the work of a lecturer or someone else without permission. Any breach of integrity is a serious academic offense and is subject to disciplinary action.
