| 052-0609-00L | Energy and Climate Design I  | 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, GHG emissions 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, GHG emissions 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 first semester of this annual course: 1. Local potentials 2. Demand 3. Supply | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | The slides of the lecture on the course moodle 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 II is taken in the following semester, as the group work is connected and extends throughout the year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 052-0639-24L | Climate Responsive Architecture with Hive | 1 credit | 2G | A. Schlüter | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | This Online course provides an introduction to climate-responsive design using the Hive tool and how to apply it in early building design stages. Hive allows architecture and building science students to understand the relation between architectural design, climate, comfort and energy. Hive is a plugin for the 3D modeling environment Rhino and its visual programming interface Grasshopper. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | • Recall general principles of climate responsive design and examples of it. • Utilize 3D building geometries to conduct 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 in design courses. • Identify and harness synergies and trade-offs between climate, energy and architectural design aspects. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The course can be frequented individually, or as a prerequisite for other courses such as the master course Climate and Energy Systems 3 or architectural design studios. Modules: 1. Course overview. 2. Introduction to climate responsive design. 3. Introduction to Rhino, Grasshopper and HIVE. 4. Early solar analyses. 5. Passive Solar Design (E.g. Fixed and movable shading). 6. Active Solar Design (E.g. Using Photovoltaics). 7. Real- world Applications and Examples. This is a blended-learning self-paced ONLINE COURSE that can be started at any time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | A working Rhino 6 or 7 license is necessary. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 063-0655-24L | Subject Semester HS24 (Fachsemester) in the Field of Technogy in Architecture (Schlüter)  Does not take place this semester. A student can only register once for a "Fachsemester" during the Master studies! The application deadline for this "Fachsemester" is 4.9.2024 , 8 p.m. You will receive a message about acceptance or rejection for the subject semester by 5.9.2024, 2 p.m. at the latest. Students who have been rejected have the opportunity to choose a design class (enrollment ends on 5.9.2024, at 6 p.m.).“ | 14 credits | 29A | A. Schlüter | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | In this subject semester, we explore the topic of zero-emission building design, which integrates aspects of energy, materials, technology, human behavior, and comfort into architectural design and seeks synergetic design solutions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Upon successful completion of the subject semester, students will be able to identify concepts and relevant design parameters for zero-emission building design and develop integrated architectural design strategies. They will know how to select and use appropriate simulation and analysis tools to qualify and quantify their design solutions and will be able to visualize their concepts with both technical schematics and architectural drawings and visualizations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The subject semester kicks off with an introduction to the use and exploitation of building systems for the design of zero-emission buildings. The goal of the semester is to demonstrate the relationships between building systems and architecture and to find ways to manifest building systems in design. Students begin with a research and mapping phase in which they first investigate various building systems for zero-emission building design. They then map the building systems with architectural parameters for successful interaction between the two and create a catalog of their findings. After the research and mapping phase, students design a small building in which they explore how to maximize the interactions between the building systems and the architectural parameters. Finally, students attempt to quantify their design solutions using low-threshold modeling, simulation, and optimization tools such as Rhino/Grasshopper or HIVE. To assess and discuss their concepts not only numerically but also architecturally and aesthetically, students also find appropriate forms of visualization. Students document the process and results both numerically and architecturally, which are then discussed with a final jury. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Prerequisites / Notice | The working mode is an individual design research studio with weekly group meetings and reviews. We expect good basic knowledge of sustainable construction and energy and climate systems. Prior experience in parametric design tools (e.g. Rhino) and/or simulation tools is a plus.

| Abstract | During the integrated design studio students work on a selected integrated architectural / urban design project, considering both energy- and climate systems (HVAC) as well architectural and urban design in a specific site context. The objective is to follow an integrated design process to achieve synergistic solutions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The integrated design studio enables students to identify site specific energy demand and potentials, develop integrated energy and climate systems on both the urban and building scale and evaluate their interactions and impact on building design and operation. Retrieving relevant concepts and technologies of energy and HVAC systems, students are able to develop and compare integrated concepts using appropriate methods and digital toolsets and present them to a mixed audience using drawings, renderings and reports. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | During the studio students will work in groups on a contemporary integrated design project (urban and / or building scale) executing an integrated design process from the analysis of site potentials, the identification of demands, the development of an urban scale energy concept and a matching building energy- and HVAC-systems concept. Input lectures from academics and professionals will highlight specific topics relevant to the task. The projects will be presented by the student groups and discussed with internal and external reviewers at midterm and at the final presentations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Skripts are specific to the design task and distributed at the beginning of the course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | A literature list will be distributed at the beginning of the course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
