Journal Entry For
Module 3 - Project Goals Targets & Strategies

The Exhibition Space will be put nearby the Dish area near our campus. Thus, we should follow CA-specified standards, and I wish to design a building that is compatible with the nearby environment (higher altitude and some greens).

Goal 1: Use less materials, and more sustainable materials

  • Measure:   LEED credits
  • Targets:
    • At least 5 points in the Materials and Resources (MR) category
  • Strategies:

Goal 2: Low Site Energy

  • Measure:  Energy Use Intensity (EUI)
  • Targets:
    • At least 50% reduction in EUI comparing to ASHRAE Standard 90.1
    • Meet Architecture 2030
  • Strategies:
    • Low-E glasses for natural light penetration and heat prevention
    • Natural ventilation throughout the building
    • Solar roof / green roof
    • Use smart sensors and actuators for building automation

Goal 3: Encourage well-being / healthy behaviors

  • Measure: LEED credits and visual assessment
  • Targets:
    • At least 15 points out of 20 in the Location and Transport (LT) category.
    • Promote mental health by connecting people and the nature
  • Strategies:
    • Design more bicycle storage space and set up a shuttle stop to satisfy standards for Bicycle Facilities, and Access to Quality Transit criteria.
    • Setting up the center of the building as a gathering place for people to connect with each other and enjoy the nature at the same time.
    • Open stairwells to encourage walking.
