Practice-Driven Teaching Reform of Building Physics: Cultivating Green Building Design Capability

Abstract

With the rise in demand for the green development of the construction industry, the old way of teaching building physics can no longer provide all-round green building design skills for professionals. The aim of this paper is to explore a practice-oriented reform path for physics teaching and hope that it can help promote the all-round development of students' green building design abilities. First, this paper analyzes the shortcomings of the traditional model of knowledge inheritance and puts forward that the teaching paradigm should be reformed to "design thinking integrated with performance thinking". The three main contents of this reform are: first, to restructure the system of course content and pay more attention to climate-responsive teaching methods, the logic of integrating technical strategies and the way to change from physical principles to design decisions; second, to build a simulation and iterative cycle-based teaching model and constantly incorporate environmental performance simulation in all stages of the design generation and optimisation process; and third, to establish a dynamic evaluation system based on the gradient of capability development and use process-based evidence to assess changes in students' all-round abilities. Organize the theoretical basis and practical plan for changing the teaching mode of building physics from isolated knowledge transmission to integrated ability development in this paper.
