Design Goals (in progress)

Goal 1: Reduce the energy use intensity (EUI)

• Measure: EUI Measure
• Targets:
• minimally acceptable value: Reduces energy by 30% (compared to ASHRAE baseline)
• desired / target value: Reduces energy by 50% (compared to Ashrae Baseline)
• Strategies:
• one design strategy that I’d like to explore in my design to achieve this goal is by adjusting for passive daylighting and heating/cooling if needed
• a second design strategy for achieving this goal is by focusing on the window placement and orientation

Goal 2: Reduces need for artificial light

• Measure: Hours of acceptable daylight
• Targets:
• minimally acceptable value: Daylight can be used for at least 12 hours in day for 60% of the days in the year
• desired / target value: Daylight can be used for at least 12 hours in day year round
• Strategies:
• Vast window use that controls for heat gain and the use of skylights

Goal 3: Increase the “green” content

• Measure:  The percentage of Sqft of plants
• Targets:
• minimally acceptable value: 15% of the property has green features
• desired / target value: 30% of the property has green features
• Strategies:
• one design strategy that I’d like to explore in my design to achieve this goal is including a green roof, indoor garden, and an outdoor garden
• one design strategy that I’d like to explor
• a second design strategy for achieving this goal @

Goal 3: short description of the goal

• Measure:  the metric that you’ll use to measure this goal
• Targets:
• minimally acceptable value
• desired / target value
• Strategies:
• one design strategy that I’d like to explore in my design to achieve this goal
• a second design strategy for achieving this goal @
