RESEARCH PAPER: SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY

ASSIGNMENT BRIEF

In this assignment, you will review the state of knowledge of sustainable building technology. The goal context of this course is to:

• Apply research methods to explore a specific topic.

• Apply concepts introduced in lectures and workshops to evaluate the findings.

• Build arguments using evidence from readings

• Identify knowledge gaps that demand further investigation (if applicable)

This assignment assesses the ability for research skills demonstrating critical understanding and scientific enquiry ability with academic integrity. The paper should not only present a summary of the research; rather, students must take a critical position in relation to sustainable technology and back up their claims with scientific findings. Course readings or bibliographic materials identified and cited by the student must be used as evidence for any statements of facts.

Examples:

• Photovoltaic Panel/farm/ systems

• High-performance Glazing

• Geothermal System

• Building Integrated Management (BIM) Etc.

A outline with a clearly defined topic, research scope and a working theory on connecting course themes with research outcomes should be presented and uploaded as pdf on UML by the deadline as per the course schedule.
