Aims |
|
The aims of this module are: (i) to develop a good understanding of the climate-related data and techniques that are relevant for the sustainable environmental design of buildings; (ii) to demonstrate how such designs should be carried out in a climate sensitive manner; (iii) to explain the role and importance of the microclimate between buildings; (iv) to enable students to select and use appropriate analytical tools and methodologies that can be integrated to show a holistic approach to climate sensitive design that considers climate, sustainable design,choice of materials, energy use and landscape. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) On completion of this module students should have developed the skillsand understanding necessary to successfully undertake the followingtasks:• The design of buildings and their surroundings optimised withrespect to climate, environmental and energy issues.• The acquisition and subsequent analysis of climate information anddata in a way that informs design decisions in a successful andappropriate manner• The appraisal of building schemes from a holistic environmentaldesign point of view and the use of a variety of relevantenvironmental assessment techniques to analyse criticallyproposed and built design solutions. |
Syllabus |
|
1 Introduction to buildings, climate and climate change; finding and using climatic data. Passive elements in climate design - sun, wind and daylight; microclimate design. Thermal comfort and bioclimatic design; thermal comofrt surveys. Climate change, IPCC and greenhouse gas emissions. Designing for climate change - adaptation and mitigation in the built environment. |
