Design Pre-thesis 3 | Sustainable Technologies

Considering the fact that one-fifth of the world's electrical consumption is from artificial light, which is considerably more than the output of all the nuclear power stations in the world, the designing for climate forces on the buildings need to be considered by an architect at the early stage to design a good building. For some time, courtyard design has been implementing as one of the passive design strategies inside the building to obtain adequate daylighting.

This pre-thesis aiming to improve occupant and performance of the building especially on daylighting using courtyard design strategies. The objectives of the pre-thesis are defined as follows; to save energy inside the building by maximizing the usage of daylighting, to enhance daylighting inside the building through courtyard design and to integrate natural elements into the building for human health improvement.
