Environmental Technologies in Buildings

This course focuses on the thermal, luminous, and acoustic behavior of buildings, examining the basic scientific principles underlying these phenomena and introducing students to technologies and analysis techniques for designing comfortable indoor environments. Students are challenged to apply these techniques and explore the role light, energy, and sound can play in shaping architecture.

The OCW course website features a complete set of lecture slides, and assignments that use several freely-available software packages.

Taught by: Prof. Christoph Reinhart
