Design climate-adaptive buildings with passive strategies.
Climate-Adaptive Architecture and Passive Design Strategies teaches how to design buildings that respond to their climate with minimal energy. You learn the passive-design toolkit — orientation, shading, natural ventilation, thermal mass, daylighting and envelope design — and how to adapt it to different climates and a warming world. The course centres on achieving comfort and efficiency through design intelligence rather than mechanical systems. You finish able to reason about a climate-adaptive, passive design for a building.
