About This Course
The bio-climatic design principles and application in architecture online course covers topics such as climate analysis, passive design strategies, building envelope, renewable energy systems, and case studies. Across 4 Weeks, you will work hands-on with climate analysis, passive design strategies, and renewable energy systems, then consolidate everything in a capstone project. Every participant receives a verified e-Certificate and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.

Notebooks, real-world code & datasetsCurriculum Outline
Reading the Site Before Designing
• Weather files, degree days and the psychrometric chart as an analysis tool
• Climate classification and the passive strategies each climate rewards
• Sun path, prevailing wind and site obstruction analysis
Massing and Orientation
• Surface-to-volume ratio, orientation and glazing distribution by facade
• Shading design: overhangs, fins and the seasonal geometry behind them
• Daylight access balanced against solar gain and glare
The Building Fabric
• Insulation, U-values and thermal bridging that undoes detailing on paper
• Thermal mass, time lag and decrement factor in a diurnal climate
• Airtightness, moisture risk and the reason ventilation must be designed with it
Modelling Performance
• Current tools: EnergyPlus with OpenStudio, ClimateStudio, Ladybug and IES VE
• Parametric studies and sensitivity analysis over single-option comparison
• Garbage-in modelling: schedules and internal gains dominate most results
Meeting a Standard
• ECBC, Passive House and net-zero definitions compared
• Operational against embodied carbon and the shifting balance between them
• Cost optimisation and the point where passive measures stop paying back
