Passive Comfort Lab Portfolio

Introduction to topics such as Climate, sun shading, heat transfer, psychrometry, measurement and experimentation, load calculations and data procurement; these contribute to further understanding of climate analysis, course project, simulation and NV network diagram. Exploring building envelope through simulation. Extracting and pragmatizing the behavior of each component i.e., U-value and SRI (Solar reflectance Index) for walls and roofs; for Glazing: WWR, SHGC, U-value and shading device. From change of scale of model and mode change of simulation, it takes forward to gives a perspective for alignment of different strategies and mode of various parameters for energy efficient buildings.
