In the Engineering Sustainability Studio course, we were introduced to basic technologies and analytical techniques for designing data-driven energy efficient buildings. The primary focus of this course will be studying the thermal and luminous behavior of buildings. The course also intends to make the student aware of ECBC, IGBC, LEED, GRIHA, etc. various rating programs for sustainable building. At the first the Dwelling documentation was done various readings were taken manually with the help of instruments, then a model was made in the IESVE software in which various simulations were analyzed like daylight, solar, energy, heat gain, thermal comfort. Then each group was given a city in India, mine was Hyderabad which was Warm and Humid, based on the primitive concepts learned, a time problem was given to design a house and then after various calculations and simulations the design changes were made.
