Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
To acquire knowledge on both comfort and energy saving, understand the architectural method, and perform steady-state forecast calculations.In this course, students will acquire the knowledge necessary to achieve both energy conservation and comfort. The students will investigate and present on the theme chosen, and deepen their understanding by asking questions about other students presentations. The contents of the lectures deals with social problems related to architecture environmental engineering and include themes of global environmental conservation, the use of new energy, etc.
Style:
Weeks 1-7 Lectures: Basic knowledge about the light environment and sound environment.
Weeks 8-14:
Each student chooses a topic of interest among the content learned at the previews week and makes a 5-minute presentation. Adjust in the eighth week so that the topics do not overlap.
Notice:
To be resourceful on the way to present the topic studied, listen and make questions. The students will mutually deepen the knowledge acquired. This course requires 90 hours of self-study time to do preliminary reviews, reviews, and assignments. Students attendance is required, and only a maximum of 5 absences is excused.
