I took courses from multiple sub-areas named Infrastructural System Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering and Transportation along with management courses. In addition, I took courses from other programs (Environmental Management and Intelligent Building Technology and Management). I primarily focused on the issues related to built environment. My final year dissertation was mainly concerned with BIM Based Occupant Thermal Comfort and IAQ Analysis with Energy Modelling and CFD Simulation for optimized design. The objective of the study was to evaluate the existing air distribution system inside the IAS lecture theatre and energy consumption pattern. After evaluation alternative solution was proposed to create an even indoor air quality and air distribution throughout the theatre to ease facility management.Thesis Supervisor: Prof Jack C P Cheng Show less
