The course introduces the concept of Sustainability in the built environment with a particular emphasis on the shifting priorities and agendas since Brundtland, 1987 until today. It provides analytical tools and methods for implementing principles of Sustainability and Life Cycle Design into buildings. Ecological, economic, social, and technological factors that influence building design will also be investigated. The course explores renewable energy systems (PV, Wind, Biomass, Geothermal, Hydro, Tidal, Hydrogen) and how they apply to the design process with complete integration not just add-on. The concept of environmental assessment and building impacts evaluation and how to measure them via software will also be discussed. A conceptual design final project will integrate these sustainable systems into the design of our future buildings.
