IIT Roorkee: Sustainable Architecture

Those interested in sustainable building and urban planning should check out this free video course taught by Dr. Avlokita Agrawal of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee. The course begins with an overview of the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development from a historical perspective, considering how these ideas relate to architecture and other domains such as health, urban planning, and transportation. Dr. Agrawal discusses the meaning of sustainable architecture in relation to other concepts (e.g., green building, eco building, and climate-responsive building). The course delves into five parameters of the design and implementation of sustainable architecture: site development, energy, water, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality. Students also learn how to use a whole building simulation tool to create models, forecast energy impacts, and more. The course is designed for undergraduate students, but is also useful for graduate students, faculty, and professionals interested in sustainable building concepts and design. The course comprises video lectures, most around 25-50 minutes in length.
