Monsoon Semester 24, IDL and WBD BE4003

In the 3rd semester of the MBEP program, I explored the Lighting and Integrated Design Lab (IDL) and Whole Building Design (WBD) modules, which provided a comprehensive approach to building energy efficiency. Over 16 weeks, I gained hands-on experience in daylighting, electric lighting, passive design, HVAC, and energy modeling. Through practical design exercises, I applied theoretical knowledge to create an energy code-compliant building. This semester allowed me to integrate scientific principles, optimization techniques, and cost feasibility, giving me a holistic understanding of energy-efficient design and its real-world applications.
