Course Outline and Organization: Environmental Control

This document outlines an environmental control course taught by Prof. Ayman Tomah. The 3-sentence course summary is: The course concentrates on different climate conditions and their effects on design, temperature control inside buildings, shade design and insulation, passive solar energy, and vernacular solutions for different climates. Students will learn about structural systems, environmental psychology, sustainability, and use sun path diagrams and software to design buildings that achieve environmental control through passive means. The course includes lectures, readings, videos, and activities to help students understand climate impacts and develop skills in passive design strategies.
