Argomenti del programma: By developing a deeper intuitive understanding of thermal sciences, the course allows students to approach the architectural design taking into account the physical phenomena responsible of the building behaviour. Moreover, by introducing the basics of the architectural science, the course provides knowledge of the physical principles and their relationship to human comfort, also by considering the control functions…
