Below is a 3D model of my building along with an updated floor plan. The connecting pathway between the two pavilions will not be covered as such, it will be more of an open-nature pathway, I just have it the way I do to show the placement for now.
External walls facing outwards were mainly exterior glazing in order to allow lots of natural light into the buildings and rooms. The other external walls facing outwards are a wooden siding, and the external walls facing into the mountain are high thermal resistant walls. The floors of the lower levels are insulated concrete slabs while the floors of the upper levels are LW Concrete on Metal Deck as heavy insulation isn’t as imperative. The roof of the left pavilion is an insulated steel truss roof with a green roof on top, while the roof of the right pavilion is just insulated steel truss with solar panels to be placed on top. Both roofs have overhangs to allow for shading in the summer months while still allowing sunlight and heat into the buildings for the winter months. I performed an energy analysis on my building and found that the benchmark comparison is 29.7 kBtu/ft2/yr. This is with low plug load and lighting efficiency, high panel efficiency, and >45% PV surface coverage.
I then performed a lighting analysis. The rooms with no natural daylight are intended to be as such, as they are exhibition spaces or rooms that can have artificial lighting. The overhang provides shading for the other rooms with plenty of natural light, making the levels optimal (not too bright, but plenty of light for the rooms).
