ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS I Through a combination of theoretical seminars and practical design assignments, Environmental Systems 1 introduces students to both passive and active methods of designing sun, wind, and water systems within a building. Five sequential assignments, coordinated with the design studio, explore the inter-relationship between passive architectural design and active mechanical design. Students are asked to make climate responsive architectural developments to their studio project, coordinate and calculate their passive design responses, and subsequently size the active thermal controls and water/waste systems.
