The purpose of this class is to acquire planning methodologies for achieving carbon-neutral towns and cities. This includes
not only building environmental systems planning focused on individual structures, but also energy systems for large-scale
buildings and communities, along with planning techniques for enhancing their efficiency. Furthermore, it covers planning
approaches addressing the causes of the urban heat island phenomenon associated with spatial urbanization and countermeasures
for it.
Building Environmental Engineering, Building Equipment, and Building Energy Planning form the foundation for learning Building
Environmental Equipment Planning. Building upon this, students will study Urban Environmental Equipment Planning Methods,
which are applied planning techniques derived from these fields. This course examines case studies in advanced environmentally
conscious buildings and smart communities. Students will learn the mechanisms and high-efficiency techniques for thermal source
systems and energy systems, which account for approximately 40% of a building’s annual primary energy consumption. Additionally,
as part of urban thermal environment planning, students will study the causes of the heat island phenomenon and countermeasure
techniques.
- Understanding the thermal and energy systems of buildings and cities
- Understanding technologies for improving energy utilization efficiency and utilizing renewable energy
- Understand the factors contributing to climate change and heat island phenomena due to energy consumption, as well as the countermeasures for these issues
