ENERGY & ARCHITECTURE

Energy and Architecture explores the relationship between architectural design, building performance, and energy consumption. The module introduces key principles of low-energy architecture, energy-efficient building systems, and renewable energy strategies, while examining how elements such as building envelopes, lighting, HVAC systems, and energy management influence overall building performance. Through case studies, site observations, and energy auditing, the module develops a practical understanding of how sustainable strategies can be integrated into architectural design to reduce energy demand and create more environmentally responsive buildings.
