Abstract

Note: This paper is intended to be a short overview of a Master's thesis project. The tool it describes can be accessed on-line at http://www.usc.edu/dept/architecture/mbs/ . Click on "Research tools." Download a copy of the program. The purpose of this project was to create a Web based tool for teaching introductory concepts about thermal processes in buildings. It not only provides a rich source of information, but also allows for user interaction through its use of calculation tools, games, and movies. It also encourages the user to test their knowledge with quizzes and feedback sections. The program begins by allowing the user to go to a short "technical page." It lists the required and preferred downloads for running the Web pages and offers an opportunity to print and download a zipped version of the software. The main part of the program is divided into six sections: theory, numerics, thermal controls, design advisor, links, and glossary (figure 1). The Theory section contains the majority of the content of the Web pages. It discusses processes (conduction, convection, radiation, latent heat). thermal comfort (wind, human factors, relative humidity, mean radiant temperature, correlation of factors), solar factors (basics, radiation, shading devices, overhang design), and climatic factors (climate types, building form and shapes, micro-climatic factors, vernacular architecture). Many of these sections come with a quiz to test the users' knowledge of the subject matter, and there is also an overall test of the theory information. In addition, a small game helps the user understand the relevant human comfort information in the psychrometric chart (figure 2). The Numerics section first discusses the basic theory behind heat gain and heat loss analysis. For many of the relevant heat gain/loss formulas, examples are provided that show how to do the calculations. In addition, there is the opportunity for users to try the calculations for themselves (figure 3). Thermal Controls provides an overview of active and passive systems . The Design Advisor is not functional yet, but was intended to advise the user on various design aspects. Links connect the user to other resources (research, education, software, products, organizations, building and construction materials) on the Web while the Glossary provides definitions of key words and phrases (figure 4). Through text, graphics, animations, calculations, and quizzes, this Web site provides an excellent overview of thermal processes in buildings. It can be used to introduce architecture students to the relevant concepts, be used as a supplement for traditional teaching methods, or even be used by the general public to get a clear background in this subject. keywords: Web based tool, thermal processes, teaching tool, energy calculations.
