Simi’s Design Journal Entry - Module 3

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: Maintain Comfortable Internal Temperature

  • Measure:  Temperature inside building
  • Targets:
    • Temperature within the range of 24C and 29C
    • Ideally between 26 and 28 C
  • Strategies:
    • Passive cooling design
      • Cross-ventilation & large windows
      • Material selection
      • Building orientation and shape design
      • Roof design

Goal 2: Net-Zero Energy Ready Design

  • Measure:  Building produces as much energy as it consumes
  • Targets:
    • Optimize approx building energy use to be about 65% less than original
  • Strategies:
    • Passivehaus design
      • Use of natural lighting
      • Incorporation of solar energy
      • rainwater collection

Some Net Zero strategies adopted by UK theatres:

Goal 3: Quick Construction Time

  • Measure:  How long it takes to put up the shell, core & MEP of the building (everything before finishing, and also excluding substructure)
  • Targets:
    • 6 months (to be revised and adjusted)
  • Strategies:
    • Prefabricating wall panels
    • Prefabricating MEP
    • 4C simulation

On use of natural lighting. These are ht lighting demands:

Hallway (used for art display) lighting needs:

Hallway (passage only) lighting needs: 100 lux

Meeting room: 300 lux

Indoor rehearsal or practice space: 1,100 lux

Tech room: 300 lux

Bathroom: 300 lux
