![]() | Aims: To develop knowledge of the principles of NV in buildings To develop an understanding of the architectural consequences of NV on building design To explore the latest techniques, strategies and experiences of NV in buildings. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of the Unit the students must be able to: * Understand the principles and practices of NV; * Select and employ appropriate NV strategies to different building types and contexts; * Integrate these with other passive ventilation strategies; * Evaluate the NV performance of design options; * Diagnose the NV performance of existing buildings and recommend retrofit solutions if necessary. Skills: Independent research and communication of design information and analysis in writing. Ability to apply NV concepts in the design and detailing of buildings Ability to diagnose the NV performance of existing buildings. Ability to develop a basic building description file in a thermal modelling environment. These skills are taught, facilitated and assessed. Oral communication skills facilitated in and presented to a multi-disciplinary group environment. Written communication skills assessed. Content: NV, air quality and indoor climate, driving forces of NV, applications of NV, building design for NV, detail design for NV, analysis/design tools, regulatory requirements, control/management in use, evaluation/diagnostic tools & techniques, mixed mode - integration of natural and mechanical ventilation, NV and mixed mode case studies. |
