ENGI-3003Built by Humans: the Science of Shelter Systems
In this course, students explore the scientific principles that shape how buildings interact with heat, air, moisture, sound, and the surrounding environment. They examine how building science informs codes, regulations, and sustainable design practices, and analyze the effects these systems have on building performance and occupant well-being. Students interpret building behavior and assess environmental impacts by applying concepts from architecture, engineering, and construction. Students will develop a systems-based understanding of how design decisions influence durability, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility in the building environment.
