Course’s Presentation
Goal of the Course
The Laboratory aims to teach the theoretical and methodological tools and principles of the
technological eco-design, encouraging the students to the critical thinking about the importance of
being able to make appropriate and eco-oriented technological choices.
Programm of Course
The theme of the course is the technological design of housing with the approach of
environmentally friendly behavior.
The specific topics are related to:
 the application of the principles of Bioclimatic architecture, Environmentally Friendly Behavior in
technological design and energy efficiency;
 the principles of indoor quality
 the analysis of synergies and exchanges of matter and energy between the system and building
around environmental
 building materials with low environmental impact
 Sustainable technologies for the design of light and opaque envelope: windows, walls, floors,
paneling and finishes.
 domotics: how to transform the input requirements of the system in technological solution
 the integration of innovative sustainable and energy-efficient technologies.

The theme of the course:
ADDITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TO HOUSING
sustainable and solar industrialized housing
CONTENTS OF SOLAR DECATHLON 2016
The theme is the design of a living unit with high energy efficiency, giving particular attention and
emphasis to the sun as an energy source.
Each project must adhere to a set of dimensional, energetic and functional rules .
Each living unit must have a living area with:
1. an area dedicated to dining room,
2. an area used as a sleeping area,
3. a work station,
4. services, facilities required for the normal conduct of business of a family,
5. a good accessibility.

The project participants are encouraged to respond to a triple challenge on:

energy
environment
society
in order to get an house that could also be a way forward in the quality of life of those who live there.

Caso studio
Our Department will participate in a competition organized in collaboration with 6 other Italian
universities
THEMA
intervention of expanding coverage
through actions of densification
(addition of an attic floor)
It 'a competition among the students of the participating universities to design a module to be
submitted at the next Solar Decathlon.
The competition is intended as a contest of ideas in which the proposed solutions should, however,
be verified from the point of view of technical feasibility and energy behaviour.
The competition will be in two phases:
1, a first phase of selection at the headquarters of membership (one of the 7 partner institutions)
where they will select the three best proposals for headquarters
2, submission of the tables at the Polytechnic of Milan, where the best 21 proposals will be exhibited
and evaluated to rule the best projects.

Frontal Credits
Each project must be submitted using 3 tables A1 containing:
- TABLE 1: location, climate analysis, plans, sections and fronts on an appropriate scale,
- TABLE 2: innovative technical solutions and proposals for the operation of energy,
- TABLE 3: render images of the model, etc.;
The project will be shown in:
1, a descriptive Report of 3 pages A3
(Helvetica 12-point font, 1.2 line spacing according to the scheme will be made available)
2, a Report of the operation energy of 3 pages A3.
Projects must be submitted on paper for the exhibition and in pdf format high quality
(the shipping information will be provided to the coordinators of each seat. Coordinator For our
department is the prof. Antonella Violano)

Evaluation work
Periodic reviews of the work done
At the deadlines (at the different stages of the course), check the descriptive and graphical works
Final delivery of No. 3 Tables (format: A1), describing the project activity and the technological
details of the performance + model of the project in 1:50 scale
Final Exam
The final exam will focus on:
 critical description of the works (No. 3 Tables A1 + 2 reports + model);
 oral exam on the topics treated during the course
