Apart from addressing the sheltering needs of people, residential buildings should also offer comfortable conditions to their occupants within their lifecycle. In connection with the increase in energy consumed by artificial subsystems, the provision of comfortable conditions has become an issue with respect to the decline in available energy resources, dependence on foreign countries for these resources, hazardous effects of gases emitted by energy consumption on human health, increases in air pollution, and global warming. In light of this information, it is necessary to construct and operate buildings that meet the required comfort conditions and consume the minimum possible amount of energy. Decisions given in the design phase are highly effective in the production and operation of structures with minimum energy consumption. In this context, informing the students about the importance of sustainable design, sustainable design and economy, life cycle assessment, life cycle cost approach, and design parameters effective in sustainable design; and equipping them with the ability to assess the lifetime costs of buildings of different characteristics are the aims of the course.
