The subject aims to develop understanding of the principles of lighting acoustics and environmental control in the context of medium rise and complex architecture, and seeks to equip students with the ability to design and modify the building fabric to enhance the environmental performance of designed spaces. It encompasses advanced daylighting systems and the integration of electrical lighting, strategies for noise management, room acoustics, hybrid ventilation and mixed mode systems, as well as an introduction to alternate and sustainable building energy systems. Qualitative and quantitative evaluative processes that inform such design decisions are explored in this subject.
