Course description
Clothes, food, and housing are the three main elements needed for a comfortable life. For the living environment (housing), there are physical environmental issues such as daylighting, temperature / humidity environment, noise issues and countermeasures, indoor air pollution represented by the terms VOC and sick house syndrome, Outlines chemical and biological environmental problems such as mold and termite damage caused by various conditions and countermeasures. He also talks about the energy and equipment consumed in houses.
Expected Learning
Students will be able to acquire knowledge that can evaluate a house from the minimum legal and physical and chemical viewpoints.
