Understanding the importance of climate-responsive design provides you with the tools to integrate environmental design principals in buildings that reduces carbon emissions for building operations. In a world of finite resources, understanding the physical phenomenon we have to deal with in design is essential for responsible professionals. Technical and scientific issues are an integral part of design projects. It is a fundamental task of architectural design to achieve maximum comfort requirements of the building occupants while minimising energy consumption and operational carbon emissions.","title-full":"ABB214 Environmental Principles of Architectural Design","title-short":"Environmental Principles of Architectural Design","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=ABB214&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=ABB214","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=ABB214"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
