Fundamentals of Passive Design

Description

Buildings consume a significant amount of energy throughout their operational life. Climate responsive design should be the way forward to reduce building energy demand and lower greenhouse gas emissions. This course covers all the passive design principles fundamental to designing climate-responsive buildings. It can be considered a refresher course to brush up on the basics.

Objective

1. Recognize the impact of climate on design
2. Refresh fundamentals of building heat transfer
3. Understand the design process to minimize cooling/heating demand
4. List the different passive design principles
5. Understand passive design criteria in GSAS Design and Build
