Highlights

Energy generation is being shifted from fossil fuel to renewable rapidly. Besides many large-scale solar and hydro energy systems, buildings are expected to play a more critical role in producing renewable energy locally in a decentralized manner. The course is designed to enable students with different backgrounds, even non-architecture students, to understand the basics of renewable energy, strategy to integrate renewable energy into buildings, renewable energy policy, high-level renewable energy analysis method, and challenges encountered in Hong Kong. Practical case studies, examples and materials will be provided to simulate and demonstrate the design decision process.
