CASE STUDY
Assessing Daylight & Thermal Comfort at Modern Houses
Description
A group consisting of six students is required to develop ideas to optimize daylight and thermal comfort in a modern house of their choice, which can be either a double-storey corner lot or a double-storey semi-detached house. After formulating their ideas, the students must conduct fieldwork, including data collection and observation of the selected house for a case study. The proposed improvements to the current distribution of daylight and thermal comfort will be based on passive design methods. As part of the fieldwork, the students may need to use relevant phone applications to collect data.
Outcome
Reflection
Working with a group of people from different countries was a valuable and eye-opening experience for me. It was inspiring to collaborate with individuals who brought diverse perspectives, experiences, and knowledge to the project. Although we faced some challenges due to language barriers and cultural differences, we were able to overcome them through open communication, respect, and understanding. Through this collaboration, I learned to appreciate different ways of thinking and working, and I developed valuable skills in intercultural communication and teamwork. It was a rewarding experience to work together and achieve our common goal.
