The course focuses on the challenge of designing sustainable interiors, developing an understanding of theories strategies and application of Passive and Mechanical design strategies that impact interior environmental efficiency and reaching the bioclimatic comfort zone in internal spaces. It demonstrates theoretical lectures and researches to explain the methodology of evaluating, measuring and choosing thermal and light sufficiency in a variety of spaces. The primary goal of this course is to give students an exposure to the various relationships among people, technology (in what is often called environmental control), and the environments in which people dwell. The importance of the different relationships developed through building among people and their sensory environments will be examined in various situations. Factors including site selection, intelligent materials and building controls are analyzed for performance. A secondary goal of this course is to familiarize students with the vocabulary and concepts involved in the design of the various levels of environmental control used by designers. It is hoped that students will exhibit an awareness of these concepts in their current and future design studios.
