Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The subjects of this lecture are thermal environment and luminous environment. These were two of the main physical elements of architectural environment. The basic matter of heat transfer, thermal comfort, solar radiation, sunshine and ighting are explained in this lecture. Students learn the basic knowledge for planning indoor and outdoor environment. Also, students are able to know the techniques for environmental consideration in architectural planning.
