Construction of a Modular Teaching System for the Building Physics Course under the Guidance of Green Building

Abstract

With the development of green buildings in recent years, new knowledge requirements have arisen for architecture professionals, and the traditional model of teaching building physics, which is divided into various sub-disciplines based on physical phenomena, can no longer meet the needs of green building design focused on comprehensive performance optimisation. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to build a modular teaching system for the building physics course based on the concept of green buildings. First, this paper studies the necessary links among the goals of green building performance and the basic components of building physics, and puts forward that modern teaching should shift from "element decomposition" to "system integration". Therefore, a modular knowledge restructuring strategy based on problems and system integration is proposed, the construction logic of the key modules is explained, such as the integration of the thermal environment and energy consumption regulation, and the synergy of the light and sound environment with spatial quality is elaborated. In this paper, we will introduce the sequence of modules and dynamic teaching; at the same time, we will also study how to effectively integrate performance simulation tools into the design tasks. A few kinds of feedback will be given to help improve teaching knowledge, ability and way of thinking at the same time. The basis for building physics knowledge will change from individual calculations and verifications to a general ability and thinking system for new green building design.
