Computational environmental design using Ladybug Tools

Part 01 - Environmental Site analysis using Ladybug tools with Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper 3D

What you'll learn:
You will learn how to obtain climate data of the site and analyze it
You will learn how to think about the building concept
You will learn how to Decide the building form & orientation
you will have some thoughts about building material & passive techniques that will be used in the building design

Requirements:
No prerequisites for taking this course

Description:
The parametric and generative designing tools changed the view of the pro-environmental dimension of today’s architecture. When adopting CAD/CAM technological solutions the architects re-solve the relation between the form of buildings, materials used, energy management systems and pro-environmental properties. The synergy of the latest technologies with natural, traditional and environment-friendly solutions has gained unprecedented recognition. Environmental objectives are effectively implemented at an increasing scale. Environmental construction supported by the latest digital technologies may soon constitute a bridge between huge urban structures and the natural environment, satisfying the needs of both sides. Parametric design methods allow you to very quickly generate dozens of variations on a project problem, keeping imposed by the investor environmental standards." Marcin Giedrowicz " Parametric Design for Ecological Purposes

The course will discuss the Environmental site analysis  using Ladybug tools with Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper 3D, it will cover :
o How to get Climate Data & analyze it
o Micro-climate study

Course Content:

Course outcome:
- Students will learn how to obtain climate data of the site and analyze it.
- Think about the building concept
- Decide the building form & orientation
- Have some thoughts about building material & passive techniques that will be used in the building design

Note :
This part of the course includes  Rhino + Grasshopper 3d basics and Environmental site analysis using ladybug,  but the Energy simulation part ( part 03) is not included and it will be added soon
  يحتوي هذا الكورس على  مقدمة عن أساسيات الراينو و الجراسهوبر 3دي  بالاضافة الى جزء التحليل البيئي للموقع فقط , ولا يحتوي على محاكاة آداء الطاقة في المباني باستخدام الهني بي على ان يتم اضافته قريبا ككورس منفصل ان شاء الله 

Who this course is for:
