Learn how to use psychrometry as a powerful green building design tool, even if you're not an engineer! This course makes it easy and fun to understand climate and design.
This course is all about making psychrometry easy and fun! You'll learn how to use this chart as a design tool and apply climate concepts to your building projects.
Psychrometry as a green building design tool
The fundamental of green building design is to respond to climate and sun. A good handle over the psychrometric chart and the sun path diagram is essential to design green buildings. Psychrometric charts are commonly used by mechanical engineers for designing air conditioning systems. But it has great potential to be used as a building design tool beyond the engineering concepts. Climate variables are better understood if there is clarity on the core concepts of psychrometry.
This course will show how pyschrometric charts can be used by NON-engineering professionals as a tool to derive passive design strategies. This is a primer on understanding climate and its application in building design.
The chart used in the course is in the metric system (SI units). Even if you are familiar only with the IP system of units, you will still be able to follow through all the concepts in the course.
The course is organized in two section with a total of 7 lectures and 1 hour of video content. At the end of the first section, you will be confident is using the psychrometric chart. By the end of the second section, you will understand how to correlate its application to derive passive design strategies.
This is very hands-on and interactive course. There are several examples and exercises scattered throughout the course that will ensure you understand the concepts. At the end of the course, you will be confident to use this simple chart as a powerful design tool during early design stage. This is a direct take-away from the course.
have clarity of the fundamentals
correlate psychrometry with climate variables
use the psychrometric chart as a design tool

very easy
Cómo grafico la temperatura de mezcla entre temperatura exterior y de diseño, cómo obtengo las condiciones a más que debo diseñar aire acondicionado. No hablo sobre la otra tabla del sol
Simple and comprehensive.. Many thanks
A very enjoyable course. Well explained and with plenty of examples
I already have a solid background on psychrometry and passive zoning, but to be honest, this course was brilliant by how easy and comprehensible the explanation is. Very informative.
This was so good to learn from Deepa mam ,such a complicated things are explained in such an easy manner .
I enjoyed learning
Just to refresh the understanding
good

So bad, promise to provide the sun path but she did not
