  • Key / Essential / Unique Design Features that you explored in your project.
    • Use of north-facing slanted roof portion to maximize onsite solar generation
    • Combination of large skylight and floor to ceiling atrium to maximize natural daylighting + alleviate artification lighting loads
    • Use of north-facing wall curtain combined with concrete floors as passive solar PV design features
  • Your Big Successes -- what worked very well and what features you're most proud to share as examples to inspire others.
    • Focus on large-scale onsite solar PV expression lasted from project inception to completion
    • Focus on implementation of passive solar design lasted from project inception to completion
    • Strategic (stacked) placement of restrooms enabled simple and streamlined plumbing system runs
    • Implementation of HVAC system featuring both supply and return ducts throughout building
  • Your Big Challenges -- what aspects of the project created the biggest challenges and what would you do differently (in hindsight) to avoid or overcome these challenges.
    • Making changes to architectural model after completion of structural and mechanical models created some challenges with file integration
    • Curtain wall created some challenges in joining various wall sections (between floors and at wall intersections)
    • Challenges with Revit Insight model returning errors upon building completion (potentially related to integrated model described above)
  • Lessons Learned -- what sage words of advice would you share with other students who are embarking on a similar project.
    • Make use of Revit Insight energy modeling tool throughout modeling process, not just toward the end
    • Spend less time resolving minor details, more time implementing big picture ideas. Can return to minor details at the end!
    • Leave more time for putting the “final touches” on things that will help make poster pop — things like implementation of furniture, people, etc. Design Journal Entries
