EA4111 Environmental Design Studio – I Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVES
To enable design of small built-up spaces by taking into consideration of various climatic conditions and strategies of environmental design principles.
CONTENT
The building shall be designed to minimize energy use and operating costs without affecting the functionality, accommodation standards, occupant health, safety or comfort. Quantification of the results should be based on theoretical and mathematical principles. Manual quantification is essential for the following aspects.
• Microclimatic analysis – Bio climatic and psychometric analysis of comfort zone (based on eco charts, and graphs)
• Whole building Analysis for Energy performance, (based on heat gain and heat loss calculations etc.,)
• Indoor thermal comfort, (Solar Analysis for optimizing Orientation, Shading and shading analysis, TSI, Thermal neutrality, time lag, Decrement factor etc.,)
• Passive energy conservation measures (performance evaluation of passive strategies like, stack effect, thrombe wall, radiant cooling system etc.,)
• Indoor lighting levels (based on Day light factor method, lumen method etc.,)
• Air quality analysis (IAQ )
• Analysis on Life cycle assessment/ Embodied energy and carbon foot print
• Site contour analysis, Net perforated area, annual run off calculations.
The project submission should be in the form of Drawings, calculations, models and reports.
TOTAL: 150 PERIODS
COURSE OUTCOME
CO1 To allow for the creation of compact built-up spaces while taking into account a variety of climatic variables and environmental design principles.
CO2 To allow for the investigation of the link between architectural form, material properties, and environmental performance.
CO3 To provide understanding of modelling tools and passive tactics for measuring the energy performance, environmental responsiveness
CO4 To provide insight on how this relationship should change in response to climate change and new technological capabilities.
