CAE 331/513 Building Science (Fall 2019)

CAE 331/513 Building Science is the study of the physical interaction of climate (e.g., humidity, temperature, wind, sun, rain, snow, etc.) and buildings. Topics include psychrometrics, indoor air quality, indoor thermal comfort, heat transfer, air infiltration, solar insolation, and heating and cooling load calculations.
