|
| Learning Outcomes: |
Perform calculation techniques to assess various factors including:
- the transmittance of shading devices and illuminance and quality of light;
- appropriate lighting strategies in buildings;
- appropriate ventilation design;
- the acoustic design of buildings and external noise environment and independently assess the performance of the internal acoustic environment;
- Compare a range of low and zero carbon energy technologies available and analyse their use in reducing the energy demands of buildings.
