I encountered challenges with routing ducts, especially vertical ones as there is one mechanical room for the building, and flex ducts at the correct elevations while maintaining proper connections to air terminals. I also struggled with the different coordination views on Revit- which not only affects what can be edited and placed, for example ceilings, but also what can be deleted. Was tricky to solve. Despite these hurdles, my proposed design meets the project’s spatial design goals, positing you shift the entire HVAC system down by half a foot, by effectively routing east and west supply branches to the mechanical rooms without compromising effective HVAC itself as well as aesthetics. This approach preserves visual openness, supports insulation integrity, and aligns with sustainability priorities- all of which might be improved with the addition of a ceiling system, provided ceiling heights remain reasonable which here would be around nine feet. How that affects each space in comparison to the whole building, rather than just meeting the supply air flow estimates, would have to be analyzed more in-depth. To make the design more sustainable and reduce heating and cooling loads, I recommend adjusting the structural beam system to align with circulation spaces for more efficient duct and supply diffuser placement, alongside incorporating energy-efficient HVAC systems and passive strategies like those mentioned in the building envelope exercise.
