Outline:
In this course, students acquire basic knowledge related to water supply and sanitary drainage system, electrical equipment, light equipment, fire-prevention equipment, heating and cooling air conditioning equipment. The objective is to give the students the necessary knowledge about energy conservation and understand major theories and phenomena related to ambient comfort for use in architectural design and construction. This topic includes the contemporary theme of new energy utilization and is related to all specialized field of architecture. It is fundamental knowledge for building a comfortable environment and at the same time conserve global environment.
Style:
Weeks 1-8 Lectures: Basic knowledge of water supply and drainage sanitation, hot-water supply, and disaster prevention. Understanding water and hot-water supply system, sanitation equipment, drainage, ventilation system, and basic designing skills.
Weeks 9-15:
Each student chooses a topic of interest among the building service learned at the previews week and makes a 5-minute presentation about that equipment. Adjust in the eighth week so that the topics do not overlap.
Students’ understanding checked through execution of exercises from the level 2 architect license test.
Notice:
To review the content learned on Environmental Engineering in Architecture I and II. Students attendance is required, and only a maximum of 5 absences is excused.
