dc.description.abstract Environmental Science curriculum for Architectural studies is being upgraded in institutions throughout the Country, due to recent development of advanced analysis and thermal simulation software. On one hand the basics need to be taught and on the other hand Building design needs to be looked at with a performance based approach by thermally simulating the building. A Problem Based Learning approach with a mix of Hands-on learning techniques and learning from Software providing performance feedback is worked out and presented in this Paper. This paper is based on last 3 years of curriculum planning and application resulting into improvisations in teaching methodology. The Author also takes Design Studio on Sustainable Development. All work done by students in these two subjects acts as a feedback for the curriculum developed. The paper gives an insight into Problem Based Learning methods developed utilizing physical as well as digital models. All the methodologies developed as mentioned in this paper contribute to developing better awareness about Climate sensitivity for Passive Solar Architecture and provide a firm base for design of Sustainable Buildings. en_US
