The Passive Comfort Lab studio offers an in-depth exploration of building physics, covering Heat Transfer, Climate Analysis, Solar Geometry, Psychrometry, and Building Simulations. The course integrates theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice, focusing on heat transfer and thermal comfort in buildings. A key experiment involves creating hot and cold compartments within a single enclosure to maximize the temperature differential, applying various heat transfer principles and passive design strategies. The simulation module further allows students to analyze heat gains through building envelopes, evaluate the performance of building components, and explore strategies to reduce thermal loads in buildings.
