Module 3 - Project Goals Targets & Strategies

I’m interested in buildings’ daylight performance, so my design may have a high WWR. However, in order to be sustainable, energy and thermal performance need to be considered as well, so my design will also take that into account.

Goal 1: Daylight performance

  • Measure:  Daylight - sDA/UDI, Glare - DGP
  • Targets:
    • Baseline buildings
    • Daylight - sDA300lux50% (WELL)
  • Strategies:
    • High WWR
    • Daylight windows and view windows
    • Skylight

Goal 2: Energy performance

  • Measure:  Energy - EUI/peak cooling & heating loads
  • Targets:
    • Baseline buildings
    • Energy - 80% reduction from baseline (Architecture 2030 Challenge)
  • Strategies:
    • Exterior shading systems
    • Tinted windows
    • Cross ventilation windows
    • Stack ventilation
    • Courtyard

Goal 3: Thermal performance

  • Measure:  Thermal - PMV/PPD/Adaptive thermal comfort (still exploring, not using all of them)
  • Targets:
    • Baseline buildings
    • Thermal - 19.4 °C - 27.8 °C (ASHRAE)
  • Strategies:
    • Exterior shading systems
    • Tinted windows
    • Cross ventilation windows
    • Stack ventilation
    • Courtyard
