Design Journal Entry - Module 3

List your three or four guiding design goals using this format for each goal:

Goal 1: Using more Solar PV

• Measure:  kilowatts
• Targets:
• 60% Reduction in Non-Renewable Energy Compared to Standard Model
• Strategies:
• Rotating the building so that it gets the most solar exposure at every hour.
• Roof or façade design to implement solar panels to gain more solar energy during the day

Goal 2: Efficient Energy Consumption

• Measure:  Energy Use Intensity (EUI)
• Targets:
• Energy Star Median Source EUI for Other - Education: 110.4 kBtu/ft^2
• Strategies:
• Positioning windows to heat up building in the winter and avoid heating in summer. While providing natural light to reduce lighting energy consumption.
• Choosing to have an attic or cathedral roof to allow for more efficient cooling and heating.

Goal 3: Self sufficient and sustainable in water use

• Measure: Kg of waste water being disposed each month
• Targets:
• 50% reduction in waste water from standard building.
• Strategies:
• Maximizing the amount of green spaces for reuse of grey water. Having green spaces can be used as a garden for self-sufficiency.
• Building the shape to naturally capture rain water to guide to containment unit.
