Course Objectives:	The primary objective of the course is to teach students about the physical environmental factors in buildings and to develop an understanding of passive and active environmental control systems, as well as relevant design principles. Another objective of the course is to illuminate students about the significance of the relationship between human-environment, user health and safety, universal design principles, and sustainable design approaches in the field of interior architecture. Therefore, this course aims to teach students to incorporate climatization and thermal comfort; fire safety and architectural acoustics and noise control for audial comfort and health into designs and consider also energy efficiency, utilizing both passive and active systems.
