Have you ever thought about how buildings are like humans? For humans to function properly a complex set of body systems have to integrate and work together as a whole. Our bodies must be able to respond and adapt to changing internal and external conditions, produce and efficiently use onsite energy, be resilient and even age gracefully. The approach to Whole Building Design treats buildings as if they were bodies that require an integrated team approach to design and develop coordinated systems to achieve sustainability, energy efficiency and true universal accessibility. This course will look at some successful and not so successful design approaches to integrating and powering the body of a truly universal building to create healthy structures, happier clients and a better world for everyone.
