Sustainable Design of Buildings

Sustainable Design of Buildings
Civil Engineering
This course will enhance the knowledge of learners on sustainable design of buildings and green construction practices.
About the Course

This course provides learners with adequate knowledge on green development, basics of climatology and orientation of building according to the climatic zones. They shall be able to understand the heat transfer mechanism in buildings, ways to create comfort in buildings with minimal use of energy and create energy efficient buildings by adopting renewable energy resources, utilizing water in effective manner and improving the indoor air quality.

The learners will get adequate knowledge on handling waste generated from different buildings and building materials and its sustainable alternatives. They will be enlightened on green project management and building life cycle assessment thereby understanding how these practices help in attaining green certification for a building.

Learning Outcomes
  • CO1 – comprehend sustainable design, climatology, shading system and analyze heat transfer mechanism in buildings.
  • CO2 – assess the design considerations and parameters for thermal comfort, visual comfort, indoor air quality and acoustics.
  • CO3 – develop solutions for energy efficiency, water efficiency and waste management in buildings.
  • CO4 – adopt green project management methodology and evaluate building life cycle assessment.
  • CO5 – implement green practices during construction and operation phase of the buildings for achieving green rating.
