MIM 246 - Environmental Control Studio

Course Objectives

Teaching design of passive and active environmental sub-systems with optimum performance in terms of climatisation, lighting, acoustics, fire control and sanitary installation by producing alternative design proposals. Production of alternative design proposals for buildings with limited necessities.

Course Description

Physical environmental factors affecting built environment design are introduced. Information on climate, light, sound, fire protection parameters, clean water supply and sewage disposal systems aiming at user comfort and efficient use of energy is provided. Turkey's current national environmental standards and regulations (fire, noise, heat protection) related substances are discussed. In the studio applications, a project that is aimed to be designed integrated with the environment in terms of passive and active systems included, which performs optimum in climatically, visual and aural ways, protected against fire and equipped with sanitary installation is conducted.
