| 052-0610-00L | Energy and Climate Design II   | 2 credits | 2G | A. Schlüter, I. Hischier | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | This annual course focuses on physical principles, concepts and methods for the efficient and sustainable heating, cooling and ventilation of buildings. Interactions of energy and climate with architectural and urban design will be investigated. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | At the end of this one-year course, students will be able to estimate the impact of energy and climate on a building. You will be able to independently apply the steps of an integrated design process to your own project and master selected tools from the A/S knowledge platform (https://moodle-app2.let.ethz.ch/course/view.php?id=11917). Future own designs can be supplemented and enriched with potentials from energy and climate analyses. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Students work independently in groups on a series of tasks. With the help of digital tools, the steps of an integrated design process are played through in a case study. The obligatory group tasks are supported with short input presentations, lecture notes and feedback sessions. The following topics are covered in the second semester of this annual course: 1. Local power generation 2. Storage 3. Environmental impact | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | The slides of the lecture serve as lecture notes and are available as download. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | A list of relevant literature is available at the chair. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | This course can only be taken if Energy and Climate Design I was taken in the previous semester, as the group work is connected and extends throughout the year. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 052-0640-24L | Climate Responsive Architecture with Hive ITA Pool information event on the offered courses: x.x.24, 10-11h, ONLINE, link will follow. | 1 credit | 2G | A. Schlüter, C. Waibel | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | This online course provides an introduction to climate responsive design using the Hive tool and its application in early building design stages. Hive allows architecture and building science students to understand the relationship between architectural design, climate, comfort, and energy. Hive is a plugin for the 3D modelling environment Rhino and its visual programming interface Grasshopper. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | - Recall general principles of climate responsive design and examples. - Utilize 3D building geometries to perform simplified energy demand and supply simulations. - Observe relevant physical principles and interactions between climate, energy, and geometry. - Implement passive and active concepts for climate responsive design. - Apply Hive for building design analysis and integrate it into own designs or design courses. - Identify and harness synergies and trade-offs between climate, energy, and architectural design aspects. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The course can be taken individually or as a prerequisite for other courses, such as the master course Computational Methods of Energy and Climate Design or architectural design studios. There are nine modules covering the following topics: - M01: Course overview - M02: Introduction to Climate Responsive Design - M03: Introduction to Rhino Grasshopper (optional) - M04: Introduction to Hive - M05: Early Solar Analyses - M06: Passive Solar Design - M07: Active Solar Design - M08: Real-World Applications and Examples - M09: Project Kindly note that this is a self-paced blended-learning online course that can be started at any time. For submission deadlines, please refer to this course's Moodle page, which you can access at https://moodle-app2.let.ethz.ch/course/view.php?id=15054. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 052-0648-24L | Design Studio V-IX: Design for Climate: Earth and Sun (A. Schlüter) Please register (www.mystudies.ethz.ch) only after the internal enrolment for the design classes (see http://www.einschreibung.arch.ethz.ch/design.php). Project grading at semester end is based on the list of enrolments on 29.3.2024, 24:00 h. This is the ultimate deadline to unsubscribe or enroll for the studio! | 14 credits | 16U | A. Schlüter | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | In the studio’ Design for Climate: Earth and Sun’, we will investigate earthen and bio-based materials and the sun as a provider of abundant energy for creating place and space. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | - To execute an integrated approach to designing a small, low-carbon, high-quality architectural building. - Understand critical parameters and metrics for buildings regarding energy, emissions, comfort - Utilize digital modelling, simulation and toolsets to obtain quantitative data about design solutions - Interpret and synthesise the results from simulations - Merge with and explore the relation of quantitative data with design intent, spatial configuration and spatial quality - Identify the interactions between architectural design, construction with energy and emissions, both embodied and operational - Visualize integrated quantitative and qualitative results, exploring new visual languages. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | In his seminal book Design with Climate, published in 1963, Victor Olgyay introduced the concept of bioclimatic architecture that responds to its environment. Today, taking climate into account has become a matter of survival. Buildings affect the climate globally through their carbon emissions and locally through the internal and external microclimates they create. To meet climatic needs on both a global and local scale, we need to change the way we build radically. In the studio’ Design for Climate: Earth and Sun’, we will investigate earthen and bio-based materials and the sun as a provider of abundant energy for creating place and space. The aim of the design studio is to apply a comprehensive methodology for the integrated design of a mixed-use building in the Valle di Blenio, Ticino, that combines low-carbon principles with architectural design quality. This involves gaining a thorough understanding of the essential parameters and metrics related to energy, emissions, and comfort in building design. Learners will be equipped to employ digital modelling and simulation tools to gather quantitative data, which will be integrated with aspects of design intent, spatial configuration, and quality, fostering an understanding of the interplay between architectural design and construction processes in relation to energy, emissions and human well-being. This experimental studio will be carried out in collaboration with Prof. Roger Boltshauser and Prof. Momoyo Kaijima and their teaching assistants. Additionally, we will be joined by the client and architect of the project, as well as experts on earth construction and solar energy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
