Optimizing Daylight and Airflow: A Sustainable Building Program

🎯 To equip learners with the knowledge, skills, and design strategies required to effectively integrate daylighting and natural ventilation into sustainable building projects—enhancing energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and environmental performance through a mentor-led, hands-on learning experience.

🎯 Course Objectives

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

✔️ Understand the principles of daylighting and natural ventilation in sustainable architecture

✔️ Analyze site and climate data to inform passive design strategies

✔️ Design energy-efficient buildings using natural light and airflow

✔️ Apply simulation tools to model daylight and ventilation performance

✔️ Integrate smart control systems with passive design features

✔️ Evaluate compliance with green building standards (LEED, WELL, etc.)

✔️ Develop real-world building design solutions through a capstone project

This program is ideal for:

• Architecture and civil engineering students
• Practicing architects, designers, and building consultants
• Urban planners and sustainability professionals
• Faculty and researchers in green building design
• Anyone with a keen interest in sustainable architecture and energy-efficient buildings

No prior experience in simulation tools is required. A basic understanding of building design is recommended.
