Study Patterns

Energy Optimization and Health and Environmental Systems


The Energy Optimization and Health and Environmental System patterns offer courses, independent study, and research opportunities in sustainable architectural design, passive and active solar systems, energy analysis, simulation, optimization and management, lighting and daylighting, ventilation, acoustics, and life cycle systems analysis. Students use computer graphic and non-graphic tools to study, research, and design resource-conserving buildings and interior environmental systems. Close liaison is maintained with national research centers and professional societies.

Courses include:

ARCH 421 - Energy Conservation in Residential Architecture
ARCH 422 - Energy and Architecture Design
ARCH 621 - Energy Optimization in Building Design
ARCH 633 - Environmental Control Systems
ARCH 634 - Architectural Lighting
ARCH 635 - Architectural Acoustics
ARCH 642 - Data Processing in Environmental Design
ARCH 643 - Software Development for Building Design
