Course description

This course focuses on knowledge and application of research methods relating to qualitative and quantitative data, data mining and tools for environmental performance evaluation of the built environment and its systems, at all scales. The Lab introduces theoretical and methodological frameworks of data-driven research and provides tools and techniques to collect, analyse, interpret and model data from various sources in support of design, assessment and decision making processes. Students will critically evaluate methods for the assessment of environmental parameters and human responses, system performance evaluation and observational research, and use data as argumentation to generate strategic responses to systemic global challenges through propositions for zero-carbon and/or resilient built environments.
