ARCH 3460: Building Science and Technology II
Credits: 3. Contact Hours: Lecture 3.
Prereq: ARCH 3450, ARCH 3450L, MATH 1450, and PHYS 1310 and PHYS 1310L; concurrent enrollment in ARCH 3460L
Second course in a sequence focused on architectural building technologies. Lectures and labs cover: environmental systems (heat transfer in the building envelope, passive heating and cooling, daylighting, thermal comfort, analytical guidelines and building energy calculation methods), materials & assemblies (building envelope systems, accessibility, egress, and material properties), and structural systems (structural system selection/comparison, and design and analysis of 'form-active' compression and tension structures) to understand impact of the built environment on human health, safety, and welfare at building scales.
