What will I learn?
This course teaches how to integrate climate analysis, building orientation, and structural systems to reduce cooling needs and enhance indoor comfort. You will learn to create slabs, roofs, columns, beams, and façades that promote daylight, cross-ventilation, night cooling, and minimise thermal bridges, with simple guidelines, practical tips, and real-life examples ready for immediate use.
