Description
Summary:The scope of this project is to research on sustainable development, particularly regarding how buildings can be built or modified to be more efficient to reduce the use of electricity. This project covers mainly on the transfer of heat through buildings, in an effort to determine ways to reduce the energy loading of a building and its impact on the environment. The project includes a wide range of aspects including materials use, technological advances, making use of natural resources, as well as the topic of heat transfer.
