No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1986–87 to 1994–95 (before that, 1971–72 to 1985–86 used the number for Mechanical Systems 1 384*, 385* Architectural Research and Mechanical Systems 1); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The course focuses on the air and water systems of buildings and is aimed at developing knowledge and skills appropriate to architectural practice. Subjects covered include environmental parameters, heating and cooling loads, energy conservative design, the selection of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, plumbing systems, and fire protection criteria and systems, with reference to building codes and standards.
As printed in the 1986–87 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Architecture Ecology
Ecology
Courses in this Theme Area prepare the student to understand the structure and function of Man in the pre-existing environment as an individual and as a social animal; to recognize and be critical of the human/physical complex and its management for desirable human goals and quality in the natural and man-made Environments.

Purpose: Introduction to basic fundamentals of the controlled environment. Content: Thermodynamics; combustion; heat transfer; aerodynamics; illumination; acoustics. Prerequisite: Arch. 293* 4 hours per week including laboratory session (Winter term)
Purpose: To allow students an opportunity for independent research study into architectural problems not offered in the regular curriculum. Content: Guided exploration of specific architectural problem area, of appropriate complexity to the particular term. Prerequisite: Faculty Committee approval Equivalent of 3 hours per week (Fall-Winter)

Social Behaviour as the Human/Physical Interface Purpose: To understand the psycho-biological and social basis of human behaviour as individuals and in groups. Content: The biological and psychological basis of perception and cognition of environments; factors affecting percepts, images and meanings; small groups and the social environment; the structure, functioning and change of neighbourhoods and communities. Prerequisite: Env. Studies 195* 2 hours per week (Spring term)

Culture
Courses in cultural history give the student a critical and creative understanding of the basic ingredients of all creative work, recognizing the seemingly unrelated forces for change in the cultural history of man, and comprehending the present as a part of the historical past.
