The contents of this course are the following:

1.  Introduction to energy and climatic design

2.  Introduction to renewable energy

3.  Introduction to thermal comfort, heat transmittance and solar gain calculation   

4.  Solar Energy: Sun position and sun path

5.  Building materials and glazing selection for solar design

6.  Passive Solar design systems (solar window, solarium, solar wall, solar chimney, shading…

7.  Active Solar design systems: (Solar water heating systems, Photovoltaic,)

8.  Geothermal energy design for buildings

9.  Wind energy design for building

10.     Bio energy use in building design.

This course aims to provide the students with the fundamental understanding of passive and active systems using renewable energy in building design. The course will provide the students in architectural engineering with the principles to integrate renewable energies (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass) in the project design, design concepts and materials.
