The Systems Approach to Designing a House: The Science behind Residential Design (CM12_8)
Course Description:
This course focuses on approaching single family residential design as both an art and a science. Introduction to the laws governing each of these system dynamics: The flow of heat, The flow of air, The flow of moisture. Additionally, this course will review the fundamentals of how that moisture interacts with different cladding materials. At the end of this course, attendees should understand the advantages and disadvantages of various wall claddings and feel confident specifying an assembly that is best for the homeowner.
Learning Objectives:
- Review how to identify one or more of the laws governing each of these house-system dynamics: * The flow of heat * The flow of air * The flow of moisture * Sound
- Learn to characterize the materials to choose to control the flows and forces of: * The flow of heat * The flow of air * The flow of moisture * Sound
- Understand the problems and solutions that arise in the house-system due to the dynamics of heat, air and moisture flow.
- Understand the problems and solutions that arise in the house-system due to the presence of unwanted sound
