Module 3 - Project Goals Targets & Strategies
Design Goal #1: Create a space that blends into the environment
Measure:
- Disruption in surrounding environment
Targets:
- Minimally accepted value: 60% of spaces are daylit
- Desired target/value: 90% of spaces are daylit
Strategies:
- Create an open floor plan that maximizes sunlight
- Building structure is built into typography of location
- Incorporates as much greenery/outside space
- Small physical building footprint
- Rooftop garden
Design Goal #2: Building reduces Energy Waste
Measure:
- EUI
- Building Energy Quotient
Targets:
- Minimally accepted value: 50% reduction
- Desired target/value: Zero Energy
Strategies:
- Geothermal HVAC systems; heating and cooling based on sunlight
- Solar panels and wind powered electricity
- Water conservation system from rainfall
- LED lighting and timers/sensors
- Optimize natural ventilation
- Museum operating hours (sunrise-sunset)
Design Goal #3: Building uses recyclable and sustianble materials
Measure: materials used reduce overall building energy use
Targets:
- Minimally accepted value: 1/3 of materials uses are recycled
- Desired target/value: LEED certification
Strategies:
- Bamboo (rapidly renewable)
- Recycled plastic
- Aluminum
- Sources that are sustainably harvested
- Avoid hazardous substances
