Project 1 : Human Perception of Comfort Level
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
To be able to understand the general principle of heat transfer :
1. Identify environmental conditions related to site conditions, climate, etc.
2. Explain the effects of the sun on the thermal performance of buildings
3. Explain the effect of insulation, thermal mass and air movement on thermal performance of buildings.
4. Infer how different building material (K-value, u-value, r-value) has different effect on heat gain or thermal environment in a given space

Project 2 : Integration with design studio 3
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. Estimate heat gain in a space and to provide passive solutions for it.
2. Evaluate control of variables such as heat and ventilation
3. Judge the limits of acceptable or desirable conditions (thermal environment) and recommend designs
that control the effects of sun on the thermal performance of buildings (shading devices)
