Project Title
Sustainable passive solar housing: A case study of cold desert of the Indian Himalayas
The major assignment includes
1. a literature review,
2. case study review of 3-4 other similar projects (like your case study) in details
3. Then your own case study in details. Which include the following things
1. Your case study would be something that has not been yet reported. You are taking ideas from the literature and case studies you have examined, and applied them in a different context.
2. In your own case study I would like to see some more detailed analysis rather than high level generic assessments. For the report, ensure that you have some sort of financial analysis, detailed risk assessments, etc. where appropriate for your project. For your case study, you are trying to convince me that you have an innovative idea that can be transferred to a new context, and that you have a serious plan to deliver that idea (i.e. financial assessment, change management assessment, risk assessment, benefits analysis, etc.).
Here is given the more detail about literature review, case study review and your own project case study
