Course Details
• Thermal Comfort Fundamentals: Understanding thermal comfort, its importance, and the factors affecting it. This unit will cover the basics of human comfort in the built environment and introduce key concepts such as the thermal comfort index, adaptive comfort, and thermal comfort standards. • Building Physics and Heat Transfer: This unit will cover building physics and the principles of heat transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation. Students will learn how heat is transferred through building materials and assemblies, and how this impacts thermal comfort. • Thermal Comfort Analysis Techniques: Techniques for measuring and analyzing thermal comfort in buildings, including field surveys, post-occupancy evaluations, and computer simulations. This unit will cover the use of thermal comfort models and tools, such as the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied (PPD) indices. • Building Envelope Design for Thermal Comfort: This unit will cover the design of building envelopes for thermal comfort, including the selection of building materials, insulation, and glazing. Students will learn about the impact of building orientation, shading, and daylighting on thermal comfort. • Mechanical Systems for Thermal Comfort: This unit will cover the design and operation of mechanical systems for thermal comfort, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Students will learn about the principles of HVAC system design, control strategies, and energy efficiency. • Sustainable Thermal Comfort Strategies: This unit will cover sustainable strategies for achieving thermal comfort in buildings, including passive design, natural ventilation, and energy-efficient HVAC systems. Students will learn about the benefits and challenges of these strategies and how to implement them in building design. • Case Studies in Thermal Comfort Design: This unit will present case studies of successful thermal comfort design projects, highlighting key design strategies and lessons learned. Students will have the opportunity to analyze and discuss these projects in depth.
