What will I learn?
This course teaches how to integrate climate analysis, building orientation, and structural systems to reduce cooling demands and enhance indoor comfort. You will learn to create slabs, roofs, columns, beams, and façades that promote daylighting, cross-ventilation, night cooling, and minimise thermal bridges, with simple guidelines, practical tips, and real-life examples ready for use.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Climate and site assessment: analyse sun paths, winds, and local climates for effective designs.
- Structural framework choices: select grids and supports that enhance passive cooling features.
- Thermal barrier refinements: eliminate heat loss points in walls, roofs, and slab edges.
- Slab and roof optimisation: determine mass and insulation levels to prevent rapid overheating.
- Daylight and airflow strategies: position columns, beams, and walls to maximise natural comfort.
