Journal Entry For
Module 4 - Conceptual Design - Building Context & Passive Design
Your Design Journal entries for this module should highlight:
- the design alternatives that you modeled and tested
- the results of the analyses and how they influenced your thinking about how to move forward
Use text , images, web links, movies... Whatever media works best to express your ideas!
Option A
Option B
Climate Consultant did not work on my computer, and Autodesk Insight hasn’t been able to complete the analysis either after many hours of waiting. I will update this once these technical issues have been resolved.
The solar insolation for option A was 3,586,784 kwh (484 kWh/m2) while for option B it was 4,516,723 kWh (584 kWh/m2)
For 2 or 3 units
- Create and share a Psychometric chart for your project location.
- Test 2 different alternative conceptual building forms using:
- Insight analysis to predict the energy performance each of the forms
- Solar insolation analysis to predict the solar radiation on the surfaces of the forms
- Post images of the design alternatives that you modeled and the results of the analyses
- Explain your reasoning and the tradeoffs that influenced your decision about which design option to move forward with
