In this Design 4 course, students are required to design an environmentally friendly building design. The design process uses alternative design processes using environmental strategies such as how to lower the heat gain in the building, and allowing wind flow and others.

Students are encourage to use Velux (daylighting) and Autodesk CFD (wind speed) to see the daylight and wind factors that pass through the builing.
