Introduction
In this unit, you will explain the role of ventilation as a part of a passive thermal performance of a timber structure/building. You will also describe climate zones, set the regulated thermal performance in accordance with the standards and design a passive timber structure solutions that are compliant with standards to deliver health and wellbeing to the occupants.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
