Thermal Comfort and Advanced ESD: Integration of passive design strategies into buildings and understanding the concepts of human thermal comfort to integrate without mechanical heating and cooling. Skills for carrying out a sun analysis. There will be an introduction to thermal evaluation and design tools, correlation and simulation models. Case studies of traditional and more technologically advanced built environments will be discussed. Building Services: Building services, regulations and standards: air-conditioning, plumbing, telecommunications, lighting, electrical and mechanical services. Implications for the design of interior space. Relationship to best practice principles of passive energy design and energy conservation. Fire protection systems and regulations. Working within the parameters of the Building Code of Australia, Standards Association of Australia standards and the requirements of other Statutory body pertaining to buildings in general and to interiors specifically.
