Course Content
|
“Building Technologies” course is structured on the themes “Environmental Control” and “Environmentally Responsible Architecture”. The significant contribution of the course is to equip the students to conduct research and design on the fundamentals of building technologies and their application to buildings. The “Environmental Control” module mainly tackles energy efficiency, fire safety, lighting design, acoustic design, and sanitary installation issues focusing on the current technological advances and innovations in the construction industry. The importance of the integrated and inter- and transdisciplinary collaborations are also part of these discussions. During the “Environmentally Responsible Architecture” module, the current issues considered critical for the built and natural environment are discussed through environmentally responsible architecture and green building envelopes subjects.
