The Transsolar World Academy (https://transsolar.com/approach/transsolar-world-academy) continues this year with a research seminar on climate-friendly design in India. Our Academy, coordinated by Aarti Dhingra (https://transsolar.com/team/aarti-dhingra), has proposed a joint research seminar for fourth-year bachelor students and their supervisors at the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi (SPA) (https://spa.ac.in/), in collaboration with Dr. Chitrarekha Kabre. This project is part of a two year long memorandum of understanding between Transsolar and SPA Delhi to foster exchange in the field of sustainable construction and planning in the majority world.

The aim is to provide guidance and support to approximately 30 students in developing robust research on climate-friendly design, identifying and formulating questions related to the challenges and opportunities of climate-friendly design in India from mid-August to mid-December 2024. Our expertise will promote understanding of the practical application of sustainable design principles.

Weekly online sessions are planned throughout the semester, along with a visit from three Transsolar staff on-site. Junior professionals from Transsolar will mentor the students, supporting them in exploring and refining their research topics and focusing on key aspects of climate-friendly design such as passive cooling techniques, energy efficiency, or sustainable materials.

In review sessions, additional guidance will be provided by senior Transsolar staff, addressing complex issues and sharing their knowledge and experience. SPA will ensure student participation and provide infrastructure (laptops, microphones, meeting rooms, etc.) for conducting online sessions.

The expected outcomes include the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students to address well-defined research topics that aim at sustainable design practices in Indian climate conditions based on the principles of climate-friendly design.

We look forward to the collaboration and knowledge exchange, which will also benefit Transsolar.
