What will I learn?
This course teaches how to integrate climate analysis, building orientation, and structural systems to lower cooling loads and boost comfort. Design slabs, roofs, columns, beams, and façades that enable daylighting, cross-ventilation, night cooling, and minimal thermal bridges, with straightforward rules, practical details, and real-world examples for immediate use.
