The Building Envelope Science: Design and Application
micro-credential course teaches students about energy efficiency at the
beginning of construction planning, ensuring that structures are constructed
with sustainability in mind, reducing the amount of retrofitting that buildings
will need as they age.
This course provides:
· An
understanding of how to conceptually design and analyze the costs of
constructing a small building that adheres to ‘Building Science’ principles,
which will lead to an energy-efficient, quiet, dry and durable enclosure.
· Discussion
of the fundamental scientific principles that support the design and
construction of a low-energy, long-lasting building.
· Knowledge of
the benefits and differences between a building-science approach and
traditional building practices while applying this knowledge to sketch, design
and construct a scale, conceptual model of a small building.
Completion of the Building Envelope
Science: Principles and Practice micro-credential is recommended; experience in
Construction Trades and Building Science is recommended.
