First step to designing passive solar buildings
This course is approved for 1 GBCI CE hour.
Passive solar design is a fundamental approach to designing buildings that are sustainable. Climate and solar responsive strategies are inherent to passive buildings. Such strategies meet the heating and cooling requirements of buildings by harnessing natural resources. This further reduces the energy required for heating and cooling buildings using mechanical equipment.
 This ‘Passive Solar Design Series’ have been developed to cover all aspects of climate responsive design. The first course in this series will get you started with solar geometry and showcase application in design. Sun path diagram is a powerful design tool that can be used to determine building form, shading devices and other strategies during schematic design stages.
 This course intends to refresh the fundamentals and show potential application in real world design process. At the end of the course, you will be inspired and walk away with ideas on integrating the principles in your design process.
Recall fundamentals
Understand solar geometry
Use a sunpath diagram

educational
good
The diagrams quality is lower
Great course to understand Agile basics!
The name of the course is pretty accurate, really good to understand the Sun movement and solar diagrams. The instructor describes all the concepts clearly. I really liked it t!!
Really enjoyed this short course - would have liked to receive the handout which was not available
Very useful and interesting topic, the lady speaks and explains clearly. I am waiting for the next parts of the series.
Thank you for this eye-opening course, it is brilliant! Good job!
