COURSE CONTENT CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION Energy and the Environment is a course that fosters awareness and thorough understanding of the qualitative and quantifiable environmental forces that contribute to energy use in buildings. The course introduces basics for understanding solar energy and light, climate and micro climate, and human thermal comfort as related to the built environment. COURSE DESCRIPTION Awareness of the Natural Forces that contribute to energy use in the built environment will be adopted with and understanding of how each individual force contributes to the energy problem facing the world. An introduction to the theories and concepts of solar geometry, shading devices, and the effect of the sun on various materials and surfaces will be explained. Additionally, the heat balance between the human body and its surrounding environment including human physiology and thermal comfort conditions, climate and micro-climate analysis will be introduced. modality: Hybrid (TBD) - synchronous + asynchronous FACULTY Dr. Omar Youssef, Ph.D. Assoc.
