ENERGY & ARCHITECTURE
Author's Note
Overall, this module has been interesting and immersive as we were introduced to energy usage in buildings in order to conduct full audit reports and case studies on energy efficient buildings. Hence, it has broaden our sustainable living knowledge on buildings through conducting an energy audit report on our homes.
Through the assignments it has made me aware of my own carbon footprint and how it directly effects the environment, thus, research on applications of energy & water savings was done in order to correct my lifestyle which eventually reduces my consumption impact on the earth.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Reflection :
My groupmate and i conducted a case study on the Energy Academy Europe which is the most sustainable educational building in The Netherlands.
Through this assignment we could learn how buildings from other countries designed their sustainable methods with the architecture of their building to create a seamless system & design.
Hence, our study on the building became a highlighted precedent for buildings we are to design in the future.

CITIZENSHIP & GLOBAL pERSPECTIVES
With the combination of online learning, I have been able to self-educate and self-research based on the materials provided by my lecturers to complete the assigned works with ease.
The concept of green, passive and strategies are knowledge i intend to bring forward into my future as a designer and to pursue a lifelong learning mission on this topic.
By understanding the detrimental effects of the built environment, I have a sense of responsibility towards nature and its elements by taking in consideration the impact of building design and how to reduce it negative effects through green strategies.
