About Course

Green building refers to designing, constructing, and operating buildings with a focus on improving environmental performance, reducing waste, and promoting sustainability. This involves using environmentally friendly local materials, incorporating energy-efficient technologies, and reducing the overall impact of the building on the environment. The green building aims to create a healthier, more sustainable built environment for people and the planet.

What Will You Learn?

  • This course is designed to introduce participants to the building design process, its components, and the planning of design work.
  • The course involves participants working in interdisciplinary working groups to develop a building design in accordance with the given design conditions.
  • The course provides participants with theoretical and practical knowledge of structural and engineering systems solutions for buildings.

Course Content

Description of the Course

Team and Planning
A work plan is an outline of a set of goals and processes by which a team and/or person can accomplish those goals, and offering a better understanding of the scope of the project. Work plans help a team and/or person stay organized while working on projects. Through work plans, you break down a process into small, achievable tasks and identify the things you want to accomplish (source: https://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Work-Plan)

The importance of sustainability in construction
Why it is so important to understand what sustainability means? After reading this part you will know the meaning of sustainability and the impact to environment which constructions sector brings today

Green Building
Green building, also known as sustainable building, refers to the design, construction, and operation of buildings that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout their entire lifecycle.

Passive and Active Solar Design
In this part you will find out, that: 1. Passive solar design involves using the sun's energy to heat and cool living spaces without mechanical devices. This is achieved through the use of proper orientation, insulation, windows, and thermal mass. 2. Passive cooling reduces heat in a building through natural processes such as ventilation, shading, and radiant barriers. 3. Passive solar windows are designed to increase energy efficiency by minimizing heat loss and gain. 4. The roof of a passive solar building is crucial in maximizing solar gain and energy efficiency. 5. Photovoltaic devices convert solar radiation into electricity and are a popular form of renewable energy. Solar energy is a clean and renewable energy source that generates electricity from sunlight. 6. There are three types of solar power systems: on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid. Proper mounting systems for solar panels are necessary for correct installation and positioning in any solar energy system.

Energy consumption, EU Ecolabel, green building materials and durability of buildings

Building engineering systems
Heating, water supply, sewage and others.

Universal Design
Universal Design is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation of specialized design.

Conceptual Design
In the construction industry, concept design represents the design team's initial response to the client's requirements.
