YEAR 1 SEMESTER 1.5

From this module, I am able to grasp the understanding of designing buildings that respond to local (Malaysia) climatic conditions that reduce the energy load of mechanical air-conditioning/cooling systems. I am also introduced to the components of environmental conditions and issues, human intervention affecting the environment both positively and negatively and the relationship of buildings with the natural system. I was taught the basic elements of climate and their influences on architecture, which aims to create acceptable environmentally conscious and comfortable building designs.
