There is more and more talk of self-sufficient or positive energy buildings, where electricity generation based on technologies such as photovoltaic panels marks a very strong trend in the 21st century architecture. However, these technologies on their own, do not solve the problem, since they have to respond to the needs of each building, which requires extensive knowledge about the building's electrical consumption. Given this scenario, during this subject, students will have the opportunity to acquire technical and critical skills to know the main ideas of electricity consumption in their buildings, from lighting to ventilation equipment, which will allow them to design coherent electrical systems within buildings. In addition, a good design of the openings of the building will allow to optimize the artificial lighting system, reducing its electrical consumption and improving the comfort degree for users. Finally, all this knowledge will allow students to face their professional development with technical rigor, adapting to the new needs requested by regulators, the market and society; as well as, providing added value from their work

The subject Environmental Conditioning I is part of the knowledge area of Architectural Constructions and is taught in the first quarter of the fourth year of the Degree in Fundamentals of Architecture. This subject, which continues the subjects Services I and II of the 3rd year, is included in the Basic Technical (M2) and Advanced Technical (M05) modules in Construction, Structures and Installations. Although no specific knowledge or competence is required prior to the development of this subject, it is recommended to master aspects such as the principles of light, which is taught in the annual subject Concepts of the Physical Environment of the first year of the degree in Fundamentals of Architecture. In turn, it is advisable to have knowledge about aspects taught in Services I - II, since these systems will directly influence the electrical consumption of a building.



Throughout these four subjects, aspects related to Services and Installations will be analysed, evaluated and designed, which have more and more involvement (technical, legal, economic and aesthetic-compositive) in the Architecture of the 21st century. The basic principles, designs, dimensions, systems, elements and materials that allow a space (depending on its use) to be safe, healthy-inhabitable, comfortable, efficient and can be used for what it is conceived for will be deepened and justified. , within an architectural perspective, which is none other than, the global and integrating vision that as Architects in terms of Building we must have.

During this subject of Environmental Conditioning I we will focus particularly on:

-Based on current regulations, designing and calculating the electrical system of the building –

- Integrating and calculating renewable electricity generation systems in the building

-Analyzeing the passive behavior of the building in relation to natural lighting, allowing the design of shading strategies that allow the achievement of objectives linked to each project. –

-Designing, calculating and justifying the artificial lighting system of the building. –

-Validateing the use of different artificial lighting elements for each project

-Evaluating the influence of natural lighting in the calculation of artificial lighting .

Finally, it should be noted that in the 5th year there are optional intensification subjects that allow deepening in the field of lighting and electrical behavior of the building: Energy Optimization of heritage. After completing the degree, students have at their disposal different possibilities of specialized training in the field of services and facilities, where the Master in Research in Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Industry, Transport, Building and Urban Planning of the UPV/EHU stands out.

In order for students to materialize the learning outcomes defined above, the methodology of project or problem-based learning (Project Based Learning; PBL) will be followed, a teaching technique based on self-learning and the development of critical thinking, whose The objective is that the students, gathered in small groups (3 people) and with the facilitation of a tutor, analyze and solve a problem posed in the form of a scenario for the achievement of certain learning objectives. To do this, these groups will work on four projects that will be based on the drafting of various technical documents, which will allow identifying, calculating, discussing and designing a solution to the initially proposed scenario. This active methodology with continuous assessment will promote group work and guided learning so that students can achieve excellence at the end of the course. Along with this main activity, there will be two other activities within the subject. On the one hand, based on specific theoretical tests, a control of the individual knowledge of each student will be carried out. In turn, based on already built architectural projects, each student will carry out individual work that will focus on writing a document that reflects how they have been integrated and how the energy installations have influenced the selected building(s). To facilitate and ensure student learning, both group and individual practices and theoretical content tests will be monitored. Feedback will be provided based on previously established evaluation criteria, so that students have the opportunity to become aware of their learning, as well as ways to improve it.

• Continuous Assessment System

Students have the right not to follow the subject trough the continuous evaluation and to pass it by means of a final evaluation method on the ordinary convocatory.

The final evaluation for the extraordinary call will consist in the delivery of all THREE courses long the activities as well as taking a written exam. AN AVERAGE GRADE OVER 5 IN EVERY DELIVERY WILL BE MANDATORY, and none of them could get below 4.

In order to do this, the student should deliver the teacher his ir her written resignation before the 9th week.

Not attending the final test, nor delivering the chores will imply the students resignation. Resignations will be recorded as “no show” .
