Green Strategies for Building Design
Project 1: Passive Green Building Case Studies Poster & Booklet
In a group of 4-5 person, students are required to choose two (2) case studies (preferably 3-5 story height only) on the application of passive sustainable design strategies within an architectural project; 1 from tropical climate region and 1 from other climatic region (Arid, Mediterranean,Temperate Continental, Polar).
Project 2 : Passive Green Building Strategies Report (Individual) –
Integrated with Architectural Design IV
A Green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use – energy, water, and materials – while reducing building impact on human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. Green Buildings should be designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on its surroundings.

Reflection
This semester has been very useful as I have been able to learn how sustainability ca be achieved in terms of site planning, daylighting, natural ventilation, facade design and strategic landscaping. I really enjoyed this module, especially the site visit as I found it very insightful. I would thank my tutor Mr. Khairool for his feeback and guidance this semester.
