| Description
| Buildings are significant users of energy in a society and their energy consumption has important implications to social, economic and environmental issues. A challenging task of building professional engineers and architects today is to design and promtote energy efficient buildings in a cost effective and environmentally responsive way. This course is intended to introduce the energy efficent technologies of building environmental control systems in the sense of integrated planning, and explain the common methods for building energy anaylysis and building energy efficiency standards. This course presents the concept of architecture design and planning, optimization of HVAC systems, and technology needed to integrated the heating, cooling, natural ventilation, lighting, electricity, and building energy management systems into building's strutre and design. Students will study the topics through lectures, readings, discussions, and project analysis. It is hoped that the knowledg
