Results for CEE 328A: Multidisciplinary Design and Simulation of Building Envelopes

Curtain walls are a manufactured product ubiquitous in the world of architecture and engineering that must meet structural, thermal, acoustic, environmental, and economic performance requirements. This course focuses on design strategies for building envelopes and explores new design approaches including parametric 3D modeling, simulation, and Multidsiciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) methods that leverage computation to augment human abilities to identify novel, high performing solutions. Prerequisite: CEE 220A or equivalent. Limited to 16 students.
