Course Summary
This course will introduce you to thermodynamics and heat transfer in the context of sustainable building design principles and processes. You will develop your knowledge of building science theory particularly in relation to the design of sustainable buildings, including residential and commercial . You will analyse sustainable building design processes as utlised in the industry context and consider how these processes impact upon the energy efficiency of building systems. This course also introduces you to key fundamental thermodynamics and heat transfer principles as applied in sustainable building design practice.
