# Environmental & Ecological Sys

## ARCH-5310

This course focuses on the relationship between the built environment and its context through an introduction to key environmental theories and principles, climate/microclimate types, thermal comfort and thermal delight theories. The course introduces the fundamentals of building physics as it pertains to building thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, and airflow, and emphasis is placed on passive strategies of heating, cooling, and daylighting. Students will develop the ability to design architecture that, through material selection, form, orientation and climate-specific strategies, mitigates its impacts on the climate and the ecosystem. Environmental and Ecological Systems will introduce analysis and simulation tools which put the environmental principles covered in course lectures into practice.
