This online course provides an introduction to climate responsive design using the Hive tool and its application in early building design stages. Hive allows architecture and building science students to understand the relationship between architectural design, climate, comfort, and energy. Hive is a plugin for the 3D modelling environment Rhino and its visual programming interface Grasshopper.

The course 'Energy- and Climate Systems III' introduces computational design and analysis methods and tools for climate responsive architectural design. Exercises throughout the semester allow applying new concepts learnt in exemplary architectural design tasks.
