Building Science 1 [ARC 2413]

Project 1: Human Perception Of Comfort Level

LEARNING OUTCOME:

1. Able to identify environmental conditions related to site conditions, climate and site context.

2. Able to explain the effect of insulation, thermal mass and air movement on thermal performance of buildings.

3. Able to explain the effect of sun on the thermal performance of buildings.

4. Able to infer how different building material (k-value, u-value, r-value) has different effect on heat gain or thermal environment in a given space.

Project 2: Integration With Design Studio 3

LEARNING OUTCOME:

1. Able to estimate heat gain in a space and to provide passive solutions for it.

2. Evaluate control of variables such as heat and ventilation.

3. Judge the limits of acceptable or desirable conditions (thermal environment) and recommend designs that control the effects of sun on the thermal performance of buildings (shading devices).

4. Able to calculate the total heat gain of the building design.
