Your Recommendation for the “Best” Design Option
Enter a brief paragraph (5 to 7 sentences) outlining a brief explanation of why you chose this design option as the “best” after comparing your analyses of the proposals…
I analyzed and compared my three proposals based on solar energy, sun hours, and daylight potential.
For solar energy, proposal 1 requires the least amount of energy (396 million kWh), followed closely by proposal 2 (397 million kWh) and proposal 3 (398 million kWh). A; three proposals have very similar panel placement rea and annual electrical output.
For sun hours, proposal 3 receives the most direct sun (77% for ground, 51% for facades), followed by proposal 2 (66% for ground, 51% for facades), then proposal 1 (66% for ground, 44% for facades).
For daylight potential, proposal 2 has the highest (99138 total), followed by proposal 1 (95655 total) and proposal 3 (81716 total).
All three proposals perform relatively similarly for the three categories, with proposal 1 and 2 being the most consistent. Taking constructability and feasibility into account, proposal 1 offers the most cost-effective and realistic design. Since TwitBook requested for a more dynamic, fluid series of workspaces that’s more on the daring and innovative side, Proposal 1 can fit into that criteria by incorporating green roofs and other cutting-edge innovations despite its traditional design. Therefore, I’ll be moving forward with Proposal 1 as my final design.
