I enjoy learning every lesson. Every lesson and projects helped me learn a lot of knowledge. Although this semester I took the online class, but it will not affect I concentrate on class. My tutor gave me a lot of help and advice in my project. I learnt environmental factors such as heat, light and ventilation to achieve comfortable building designs. I also learn to create awareness and understanding of designing buildings that respond to local climatic
conditions that reduce the energy load of mechanical air-conditioning systems.
