On 15 July 2024, 44 students from the Bachelor of Interior Architecture and Design (BIAD) programme, along with four lecturers, visited Wisma REHDA in Selangor. The study visit aimed to expose students to practical, eco-friendly building practices and sustainable design strategies.

During the visit, students explored various aspects of sustainable design, including passive cooling techniques like natural ventilation and shading, which minimize reliance on artificial cooling. They learned about efficient energy consumption through smart lighting, appliances, and HVAC systems, and observed the application of Photo Voltaic (PV) panels, highlighting how solar energy can reduce the use of non-renewable resources.

The students also explored water conservation methods, such as rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling. The visit provided valuable insights into implementing these strategies in future design projects.

The visit was a significant learning experience for the students, offering them a deeper understanding of sustainable design and its application in the industry.
