This course introduces the fundamentals of building systems with a focus on ventilation and heating during fall and winter. Students investigate real buildings, analyze comfort needs, and design interventions that integrate passive and active strategies. Emphasis is placed on user well-being, resource consumption, and sustainable concepts for air supply and heat.

Building Systems 2 builds on the foundations established in Building Systems 1, extending the focus from ventilation and heating to daylight and cooling strategies for spring and summer. Students explore shading, photovoltaic integration, and energy storage through case studies and iterative design processes.
