Building Science 1

Case Study: Proposing Passive building design strategies

Basic building design does not require mechanical heating or cooling. Buildings that are passively designed take
advantage of natural climate to maintain thermal comfort.

The objectives of this project are:
• To identify and define the principles of heat transfer in relation to building and people
• To understand what is thermal comfort and discuss factors relating to thermal comfort
• To analyze the effect of thermal comfort factors in a person and in a space
• To be able to criticize design of the space in terms of thermal comfort by referring to MS1525 , UBBL,
GBI standards.
