Curriculum Development for an Integrated Zero-Energy Building Design - In Case of the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon Design Challenge -

제로에너지건축물 통합설계교육을 위한 교과목 개선방안 연구 - 미에너지부 솔라데카슬론 디자인챌린지를 중심으로 -

The vision and goal of the Green Building Development Policy of Korea are to promote zero-energy infrastructures, revitalize the green building markets through green remodeling, strengthen zero-energy technology development, and foster zero-energy building professionals. Therefore, the importance of zero-energy education and human resources for the next generation is highlighted, along with expanding the domestic zero-energy building markets responding to climate change, renewable energy industry policy, and a mandatory zero-energy building certification system. To educate undergraduate students as zero-energy building designers and technical professionals is up to integrated zero-energy design practicum. The curricula for performance-based building design can consistently provide students with the integrated perspective on architecture, engineering, and analytic skills needed to integrate high-performance measures with a sustainable design. High-performance buildings include comprehensive building science, energy efficiency, optimized mechanical systems, indoor air quality, resilience, and water conservation. This study is to suggest the potential application of an integrated zero energy design practicum through the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon Design Challenge, which incorporates various subjects such as architecture, engineering, market analysis, durability and resilience, embodied environmental quality, integrated performance, occupant experience, comfort and environmental quality, energy performance, and presentation. It is vital to develop an integrated zero-energy design practicum that can fuse architectural design, technological theories, and analytic skills for building energy performance.
