MIM440 Sustainable Architectural Design

Information

Course Goal / Objective

This course develops knowledge and skills in defining the relationship between sustainability and ecology and architecture, discussing sustainable design decisions that can be taken for environmental sensitivity in architectural design, and determining appropriate methods and techniques for environmental and energy sensitivity in the design, implementation, and usage stages of architectural products. Furthermore, this course makes researching architectural artificial environment designs in society/environment/economy interaction and using environmental, climate, and geographical data in sustainable design.

Course Content

This course covers climatic elements in the built environment using the Climate Consultant program, the application of climatic elements in sustainable architectural design, as well as sustainability principles, global resources, design for human health, strategies for sustainable buildings and cities, architectural efficiency, and zero-energy building design concepts.
