The Energy-Efficient Buildings course covers sustainable design principles, focusing on building energy efficiency. It begins with basics like energy requirements and heat transfer, progressing to psychometrics and passive design strategies. Students learn about passive solar heating, ventilation, mechanical controls, and natural ventilation. Advanced topics include passive cooling, day lighting, and insulation materials. Design considerations for various climates are explored, with case studies illustrating real-world applications. Sustainable materials, life cycle assessment, and energy audit processes are addressed. Other topics include building energy codes, net-zero energy buildings, smart technologies, and occupant behavior's impact. The curriculum aims for interactive learning through lectures and case studies, preparing students for sustainable design challenges.
