Low Energy Building Analysis
Students are to select a precedent study of Low Energy Building/Net Zero(Residential/Hospitality/Institution/Office/Commercial) of their choice from an existing building locally or internationally. In this assignment, students have to describe and discuss the impact of the energy efficient strategies implemented to the built environment on the global scene and understand how these strategies affect the energy demands in the chosen building, list the inventory of its energy efficient strategies on (Façade, Lighting System, HVAC System, Waste Management, Renewable Energy used, Waste Management). The inventory list can be described or illustrated with the combination of text, images, infographics, doodles etc.

A walkthrough Energy Audit Report
Students are required to carry out an walk-through Audit process in a selected site/premise (to be discussed with tutors) and produce an Audit report (Individual) on the existing and proposed strategies of the selected site/building (case study method) types on specific topics (Lighting, HVAC system, Waste Management, Renewable Materials, Building Management System).The report is based on the followings: 1. Façade and Climate Based Profile 2. Energy Load Profiles 3. Energy Consumption Pattern 4. Energy System and Energy Saving Potential 5. Energy Management 6. Embodied Energy 7. MS1525
