🏗️ Headline: Master the Art of Energy-Efficient Design with Our "Building Envelope" Online Course!

Are you tired of feeling the wrath of a building's inefficient design? Ever wonder how to create a comfortable, energy-efficient, and sustainable indoor environment? 🤔 Look no further! Dive into the world of Building Envelope (Design for Green Building) – the key to unlocking your building's potential for energy savings and environmental sustainability.

What is the Building Envelope? It's the integration of a building's roof, walls, foundation, doors, and windows working harmoniously to ensure climate control, moisture management, and sound and light regulation within the structure. This course will transform the way you think about building design, focusing on creating energy-efficient buildings that contribute to a greener planet.

🔍 Course Description:

In this comprehensive online course, led by Dr. Sonal Desai, an expert in sustainable design, you'll explore the critical components of building envelope design and its impact on energy efficiency. You'll learn how to:

• 🏫 Understand Fenestration including U-Factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), Visible Transmission (VT), and Effective Aperture.

• 🧮 Master Opaque Envelope Calculations with an emphasis on U values for opaque construction.

• ♻️ Specify Building Envelope Materials with insights into Daylight Extent Factor & Useful Daylight Illuminance (DLI).

• 🔫 Ensure Building Envelope Sealing to prevent infiltration and exfiltration.

This course will guide you through a multitude of subtopics, including but not limited to:

• Fenestration and its impact on heat transfer and daylighting.
• Opaque Wall performance in insulation and building heat transfer.
• Building Insulation techniques and materials.
