ARCH 180 Science Concepts for Sustainable Design and Environmental Control
3 Units (Degree Applicable, CSU)
Lecture: 45
Lab: 27
Simplified and contextualized science concepts focused on sustainable design and environmental control. Applicable elements from several disciplines will be brought together and investigated in a non-mathematical and experiential format. Topics such as human thermal comfort, thermal energy, solar geometry, insolation, and energy conservation will be examined in the context of the built environment.
