Readings will be assigned each week based on publically available documents. Course Introduction The purpose of FSE/SOS 598 Buildings of the Future is to provide learning and discussion around the subject of how buildings will evolve to meet future needs. With respect to buildings and energy use, a near-term goal is to make buildings zero net energy, such as the mandates in California that require all new residential buildings to be zero net energy by 2020, and new commercial buildings by The subsequent goal is often interpreted as carbon neutral buildings, such as the Architecture 2030 Challenge. 2 Assuming that we can accomplish both of these goals, the question then becomes what next? What should buildings aspire to once they ve achieved carbon neutrality? A scoping study was conducted by the US Department of Energy, Building Technologies Office, in collaboration with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, to address these questions. This effort consisted of a number of webinars, panel discussions, conference presentations, etc., and culminated in a workshop held at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in July, The website describes these activities and their of 8

2 current status. This class, and especially the students who make up this class, represent the next step in the evolution of the Buildings of the Future. The class is targeted at graduate students, but not just engineering students. There are no prerequisites, and a technical background is not required. Some portions of the class will be quantitative, but the calculations should be feasible for students with a variety of backgrounds. The semester grade will be based on classroom participation, online quizzes based on the required readings, periodic homework assignments, a midterm and final exam, and a significant semester project. Course Objectives The specific course objectives are as follows. In each case, the goal is to develop the ability to: Understand the energy and water consumption of buildings, and buildings environmental impacts Calculate the cost of conserved energy/carbon for energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies applied to buildings Understand how buildings impact the health, comfort, and productivity of their occupants Determine the impact of building codes, green certifications, and smart technologies Understand how buildings relate to one another and to the broader urban environment, including transportation Prerequisites This class requires graduate standing in any major. Otherwise, instructor approval is required. 2 2 of 8

The course will be graded per the following scale: A+: 97 semester score 100 A: 94 semester score < 97 A: 90 semester score < 94 B+: 87 semester score < 90 B: 84 semester score < 87 B: 80 semester score < 84 C+: 75 semester score < 80 C: 70 semester score < 75 D: 60 semester score < 70 E: semester score < 60 Schedule The topics to be discussed each week, and the required readings, are listed in Table 2. The scheduled date for the midterm exam is also shown. This schedule is subject to change, but I will try my best to keep the midterm scheduled as it is, unless there are good reasons to change this date. 3 3 of 8

4 Homework All HW must be scanned in and submitted online via Blackboard. In general, homework assignments will be due on Thursdays by 4:00 PM (30 minutes before class). izzes Note: No late HW assignments will be accepted. A number of online quizzes, consisting of true-and-false questions, is required, and is due by 4:00 PM (Arizona time) on Thursdays throughout the semester. The quizzes will cover the required readings for that week, and are meant to ensure that you go through the required readings before class. Exams One midterm exam (worth 10% of your semester grade) and one final exam (worth 15% of your semester grade) will be given in class. Semester Projects Your semester project can be on any topic relevant to future buildings. It is fine to base your semester project on your thesis research, if appropriate, or you can choose something entirely different. You are encouraged to form teams of up to 2 people to carry out each project, where each person on the team will receive the same grade. The final report is limited to 8 single-spaced, two-column pages, including all figures and tables, and it should be written in the form of an ASME conference paper (see ASME Paper Format and the Author Templates on that site). You must present some graphs, tables, or perhaps both. Note that I do take off points for poor writing! All references used in your report must be cited appropriately. That is, you must cite each reference where it is used in your text, and NOT just list the references at the end of the report. You must follow ASME format for the references, i.e., the references must be numbered consecutively. The deadlines for the semester project are as follows: Feb 16, 2017: discuss idea for project topic in class by presenting one (and only one) PowerPoint slide Note: These presentations can be made individually, or by teams. Mar 3, 2017: finalize student project teams April 6, 2017: give short project updates in class (schedule to be determined later) April 27, 2017: deliver oral presentations in class (schedule to be determined later) April 28, 2017: submit final project report (due at 11:59 PM on April 28, 2017) 4 4 of 8

5 Project Grading Oral Presentation: 10 points Written Report: 10 points for technical content, 5 points for writing Academic Integrity Arizona State University s Academic Integrity Policy will be rigorously enforced. I note here the six sins of academic integrity: Cheating Plagiarism Making up stuff A little too much help from your friends Who is hiding behind the screen in online courses (this is particularly relevant!) Stealing from yourself self-plagiarism Suspected violations of ASU s Academic Integrity Policy will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. Penalties will range from a one-letter-grade deduction in the semester grade, to expulsion from ASU. 5 5 of 8
