Design Journal Entry - Module 3

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

Goal 1: Energy Efficiency

• Measure:  EUI
• Targets:
• minimally acceptable value: 80% reduction (AIA 2030 Commitment, the goal between 2020- 2025)
• desired / target value: Net Zero
• Strategies:
• Sunlight capturing for day lighting
• Lighting equipment (LED, optimized locations, motion sensing, etc.)
• Adapting energy efficient envelopes
• Installing efficient HVAC systems

Goal 2: Reduce Water Use

• Measure:  gallon per year (or operation hour)
• Targets:
• 50% reduction from a baseline building
• 80% reduction from a baseline building
• Strategies:
• Rainwater capturing systems
• Reusing grey water
• Purifying black water systems
• Efficient fixtures (Toilets, kitchens, water spaces)

Goal 3: Cost Reduction

• Measure:  Total cost (including operation phase)
• Targets:
• 10% reduction from a baseline building
• 30% reduction from a baseline building
• Strategies:
• Optimizing material use in the building (e.g. amount of concrete)
• Power generation systems to reduce electric bill (solar, wind, geothermal)
• Reducing rework in the construction phase by reducing crushes
