Goal 1: Promote Flexibility in Building Design

  • Measure: Flexibility Assessment
  • Targets:
    • Minimally Acceptable Value: 50% of the building can be easily modified and repurpose.
    • Desired / Target Value: Achieve a flexibility rating of 80% or higher.
  • Strategies:
    1. Design for Modularity: Implement a modular building design that allows for easy deconstruction and reassembly as needed, following the LEGO-inspired concept.
    2. Incorporate Adaptable Spaces: Create adaptable interior spaces using movable partitions and furniture to facilitate future layout changes.

Goal 2: Optimize Resource Efficiency

  • Measure: Resource Efficiency Metrics (Water and Energy Consumption)
  • Targets:
    • Minimally Acceptable Value: Achieve a 20% reduction in water and energy consumption compared to conventional building practices.
    • Desired / Target Value: Target a 30% reduction in water and energy consumption.
  • Strategies:
    1. Rainwater Harvesting and Dry Toilets: Incorporate rainwater harvesting systems, dry toilets, and composting to minimize resource waste and promote circularity.
    2. Sustainable Materials: Use eco-friendly and sustainable building materials to reduce environmental impact and resource consumption.

Goal 3: Achieve Net Zero Energy Consumption

  • Measure: Energy Consumption
  • Targets:
    • Minimally Acceptable Value: Achieve a 50% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional buildings.
    • Desired / Target Value: Achieve net-zero energy consumption (100% covered by renewable energy).
  • Strategies:
    1. Solar Energy Integration: Maximize energy efficiency through the strategic placement of south-facing solar panels, proper insulation, and energy-efficient windows.
    2. Energy Storage Solutions: Implement energy storage solutions (e.g., battery systems) to store surplus energy for use during non-sunny periods.

Goal 4: Generate Additional Income

  • Measure: Income Generation
  • Targets:
    • Minimally Acceptable Value: Generate income equal to the building's operating costs.
    • Desired / Target Value: Strive to generate a steady income from surplus energy sales to the state.
  • Strategies:
    1. Energy Sale Contracts: Explore contracts and agreements with the state to sell surplus energy generated by the building.
    2. Energy Efficiency for Profit: Optimize energy efficiency measures to increase surplus energy available for sale.

With these organized goals, measures, targets, and strategies, you have a clear and detailed roadmap for your integrated design project. These objectives will guide your project towards achieving flexibility, resource efficiency, net-zero energy consumption, and income generation.
