PEC671: Solar Architecture and Health in Buildings

The unit, available only to graduate architects in the MSc in Environmental Architecture, looks at solar architecture and health in buildings. It starts with an investigation of design solutions for commercial/institutional design in various climates. As part of this it looks at 'solar' philosophy and ethics. The unit also then looks at sick building syndrome, health and solar design, and healthy building design principles.
