Journal Entry For
Module 3 - Project Goals Targets & Strategies

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
