Description:
This fourth course in the building envelope series marks a critical shift to the high-impact realm of integrative design. Here, the envelope actively interacts with ventilation, heating, and cooling systems to shape overall performance, comfort, and energy efficiency. We will explore how to weave passive and active strategies into the fabric of the envelope, optimizing for energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and resilience. The course unpacks key principles for integrating natural and mechanical ventilation, heating, and cooling, moving beyond isolated systems to coordinated, performance-driven design.
Whether you’re seeking high-performance outcomes, smarter material-system integration, or simply a more holistic approach to environmental systems, this course equips you with the basics and strategies to make the envelope work intelligently, sustainably, and in context. Each course stands alone, but together they build a comprehensive foundation in building envelope design.
