Course content
The course aims to deepen the students' knowledge of climate-neutral design with support in previously acquired skills in digital manufacturing. The course focuses on energy and climate modelling and simulation.
The course is a group-based design project where students design a climate-neutral sub-area within a built-up area using digital tools. The course introduces the students to goal-oriented design using methods for experimental design and assessment. The students will learn how to visualize climate data by testing an experimental prototype. The project will introduce students to building simulation and energy climate modelling software at both the construction and city levels. The course supports the students in developing integrated understandings that connect 3D manufacturing, building performance and assessment. Students select the scale of implementation depending on the context selected for the project. They will gain insight into the relationship between time and cost of construction. They will learn how to make design decisions for different materials at the construction and city level and will gain insight into do-it-yourself building methods.

Course evaluation
Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
