The Passive Comfort Studio provided a foundation in core principles of building physics, such as heat transfer, moisture movement, climate analysis, and solar geometry. These concepts were applied in a course project, deepening insights into the role of form, materials, and climate in design through passive techniques. Studying psychometrics, load calculations, thermal comfort, and naturally ventilated buildings further enhanced understanding of building simulations. Hands-on software analysis helped interpret data, offering a practical perspective on building-envelope interactions. This comprehensive approach strengthened knowledge of energy-efficient design, helping bridge the gap between theory and practical application in creating climate-responsive buildings for diverse conditions.
