3.00 Credits
This course uses physical perspectives to descriptively examine issues relating to interactions between the built environment and the natural world as they are likely to be encountered by practicing architects in the 21st century; especially as they relate to building design, construction and utilization. Major topic areas addressed will include such environmental and energy issues as: greenhouse effect, acid rain, ozone layer depletion, air, water and land pollution, traditional and alternative energy resources and their efficient utilization. Additionally, issues associated with ambient electromagnetic energy exposure, light pollution, thermal pollution and other contemporary concerns will be discussed. A descriptive approach will be emphasized and required mathematical skills will be minimal. Invited speakers and/or field trips to local sites will be incorporated where possible to supplement and enrich classroom discussions. Prerequisite: PHYS 136.
-
3.00 Credits
