EA4211 Environmental Design Studio – II Syllabus:

EA4211 Environmental Design Studio – II Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES:

 Detailed theoretical study of Global, Macro and Micro level Climate – Elements of climate and its qualification – Earth energy balance – Climatic data and its interpretation – Energy balance of human and built Environment – Thermal Environment – Adaptive model of thermal comfort and its application to sustainable design of building – Design of any type of building – hotel / commercial buildings, etc. – with the above principles.

The detailed scope of the design project is not limited to the following

Whole building Analysis for Energy performance, Climatic Comfort & ECBC Compliance
1. Solar Analysis for optimizing Orientation, Shading and glazing areas
2. Detailed whole building thermal / Energy Simulation to achieve thermal comfort indoors through detailed analysis.
3. GRIHA/LEED related analysis and further bio climatic considerations.

Building Analysis for Day lighting and artificial Lighting
1. Day lighting simulation for optimizing natural lighting
2. Luminance Analysis

Natural ventilation and Indoor air quality
1. CFD analysis for exterior and interior wind movements (Comparison with bio-climatic chart)
2. Indoor air quality and air change analysis

Site Planning & Water Management
1. Design and recommendation for erosion control & sedimentation control on site.
2. Assist on Low water Usage, Rainwater Harvesting, wastewater recycling and construction waste usage and other waste management strategies
3. Transportation Management Strategies
4. Embodied energy calculations using online simulation tools
