Structural Elements & Energy Efficiency Course
This course teaches engineers to master structural elements like slabs, roofs, columns, beams, and façades for energy-efficient buildings in warm-temperate urban climates. It covers aligning climate analysis, building orientation, and structural systems to minimize cooling loads, leverage thermal mass, promote daylight and cross-ventilation, and enhance occupant comfort using practical rules of thumb and real-world examples.
