Arch 573: Daylight Design and Simulation


3 credits
Prereq: NONE

This course focuses on design decisions that impact energy, thermal, visual and acoustic comfort with a strong emphasis on building simulation tools. This course provides students with the understanding of the nature of building thermal comfort, building envelope behavior, ventilation requirements, indoor air quality, passive cooling systems, energy conservation, and the importance of iterative building simulation in achieving high performance buildings.

Professor:

Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg, IDL

Student work:

Experiment Sequence, Fall semester

A 6-part exercise where students analyze and apply master daylighting techniques. These experiments encompass the physical skills required for good daylighting design and analysis.
