Low Energy Buildings and Photovoltaics Course Outline 6 Units of Credit (UOC) 4 contact hours per week Course Context and Description Building energy use comprises about 40% of the total electrical energy used in NSW. Since the advent of artificial heating and lighting methods and the modernist aesthetic‚ much of the traditional wisdom that informed climate-specific vernacular architecture has been abandoned. There is currently significant interest in reducing energy use in buildings and particularly

In this assignment it will look to demonstrate the significance of environmental science factors in relation to review of the new building for a College. A report should be produced that aims to assess a number of environmental conditions to ensure an acceptable indoor environment for all teaching accommodation. The College will be reviewed in relation to the built environment in respect of; thermal environment i.e. ventilation‚ without causing excessing air movement and humidity levels and condensation

Z.E.O Building in China Due to the ever-growing need for new working space‚ as well as in an attempt to make living more comfortable‚ easy and eco-friendly‚ Z.E.O. (Zero Energy Office) buildings were constructed. Z.E.O. buildings are basically self-powered with the help of clean renewable energy. Therefore‚ pollution is drastically reduced and consumption of natural‚ non-renewable resources cease. That being said‚ even though the primary function of Z.E.B. Singapore and Z.E.O. building is the

simple and I want to start with those. Firstly‚ we know that there are 240‚000 houses which have either unsafe or dodgy insulation. There is no plan to find and fix the 240‚000 houses out of the potential million. Without a plan to examine all of the one million houses there is no solution to this problem‚ because almost one-quarter of them have either dangerous or dodgy insulation as a result of a program which was monumentally ill conceived and ill executed and which caused enormous human damage

described as being good thermal insulators. Well-insulated buildings need less energy for heating than buildings that have no insulation. Two building materials that are being used more and more worldwide‚ are mineral wool and polystyrene. Mineral wool is a good insulator because it holds air still in the matrix of the wool so that heat is not lost. Since air is a poor conductor and a good insulator‚ this helps to keep energy within the building. Polystyrene is also a good insulator and is able to keep
