| Course Objectives: | This course centers on issues surrounding the integration of sustainable and passive design principles into conceptual and practical architectural design. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Demonstrates ability to analyze information gathered from the framework of actual physical, and environmental constraints, and synthesizes these with diverse knowledge and considerations in order to create innovative spatial solutions, 2. Identifies pertinent green technologies and grasps the ways in which these are integrated into architectural design. |
| The course will focus on passive solar design, daylighting,PV, wind, double skin technologies, Cradle 2 Cradle, Design for Disassembly, Zero Carbon/Carbon Neutral strategies and other sustainability initiatives. Case studies will be used extensively as a vehicle to discuss the success/failure of ideas and their physical applications. |
| Week | Subject | Related Preparation | |
| 1) | Introduction to Sustainable Design: A discussion of ecological design principles and broad scale urban approaches to sustainable developments. A selection of case studies will be used to discuss various approaches to incorporating sustainable design objectives into architectural design. Discussion will include material selection, embodied energy, recycling initiatives, quality and durability as attitudes, implications of life cycle costing. | None | |
| 2) | Verifying and Marketing Green Buildings: Selling environmental design requires quantification and data. We will look at some of the Green Building tools and evaluation methods; including Green Building Advisor software, Athena Environmental Impact Estimator, ENVest, LEED, and Green Globe Standards. | Peruse the website of the U.S. Green Building Council (authors of LEED): http://www.usgbc.org/ Peruse the website of the British Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (authors of BREEAM): http://www.breeam.org/ | |
| 3) | Lighting in Buildings: Detailed look at the use of light in buildings from the point of view of issues of source, quantity, quality, human response, glare, room use, control, strategies, applications. The importance of natural lighting, both from an energy conservation point of view, as well as the aesthetic impact of natural light on interior architecture and the function of space. | Read Sinopoli: pp. 47-56 | |
