About This Course

Smart Building Design: Daylight & Ventilation Essentials teaches two of the most powerful, low-tech levers for better buildings. You learn how to design for daylight — bringing in natural light while controlling glare and heat — and for natural and mixed-mode ventilation that keeps air fresh and cuts cooling energy. The course connects these passive strategies to comfort, health and efficiency, with the analysis to get them right. You finish able to reason about daylight and ventilation in a building design. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
