There are no prerequisites for this course.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will have:
• become sensitive to the contemporary problems of environmental degradation of the built environment,
• a comprehensive understanding of the necessity of the environmental design of building envelopes for energy conservation,
• a comprehensive knowledge of the parameters that affect the environmental design of buildings,
• been involved in the comprehension of the above parameters through the study and environmental analysis of energy efficient building designs.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Generate new research ideas

- Appreciate diversity and multiculturality
- Respect natural environment
- Demonstrate social, professional and ethical commitment and sensitivity to gender issues
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
Environmental Design I analyzes and examines:
• the macro- and micro-climatic parameters that affect building design,
• the properties of the materials that form the urban and natural landscape and determine the energy, environmental and ecological dimension of the design process,
• the principles for the energy-efficient design of building envelopes: sun protection and sun protection systems, thermal flow/thermal insulation, sound and sound insulation of building elements, ventilation and natural cooling, size and quality of transparent elements/natural lighting etc. along with the strategic, architectural and mechanical systems required for a holistic approach to environmental architectural design, both in new implementations and in existing settlements and groups of buildings.

Student Assessment
Description
Students are evaluated through an assignment, delivered at the end of the semester. During the course of “Environmental Design I” students undertake a theoretical research project, of around 3.000 words, which investigates an environmental parameter or/and an environmental feature that was analyzed at the module’s weekly lectures.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
