Vertical Studio Workshop on ‘Solar Passive Façade’

23^rd , 24^th  August & 4^th Sept. 2024

The objective of this workshop was to introduce students thermal heat gain through façade, to understand the various software tools available for simulating daylight factor in the interior space and to enable better interaction between the vertical years by designing shading devices together. The studio was a good value addition to students. They were equipped with knowledge and software skills to use in their own design problem to develop and design energy efficient facades.
