Description

As part of the built-environment engineering package, this module introduces the students to the science of wind use in the built-environment, starting from the basics of wind flow, and natural ventilation to thermal comfort theories in the urban environment and air flow models in buildings.The course also introduces the students to the tools of numerical simulation, such as CFD and wind tunnel. The module aims to create an architect that can scientifically identify and utilise the tools of wind engineering either in the design of the built-environment design or explore the potentials of research in the field.

Program

M.Sc. in Architectural Engineering and Environemental Design

Objectives

• The course introduces graduate students to the principles of the science of wind engineering in the built environment, and objectives include understanding the history, theory as well as application of natural ventilation measurement and numerical studies inside and between buildings.
