Hi, I am Yeo Shi Jie, 0330176.
Introduction:
Sustainable development within the contextual climate and site are the first steps to optimise the benefits provided by the specific environment. Design solutions shall strive to achieve energy efficiency and to use environmentally friendly materials of high quality and durability in order to decrease waste. The basic approach towards good passive design is to orientate, to shade, to insulate, to ventilate and to daylight. Building have a primary function to provide an internal environment suitable for the purpose of the building. The architectural passive design consideration in designing a building is primarily influenced by its responsiveness to its site context. The important factors that should be considered including site planning and orientation, daylighting, facade design, natural ventilation, thermal insulation and strategic landscaping.
Objectives:
- To critically appraise application of chosen strategies within different cases.
- To analyze theories and principles of passive green building design strategies.
Task/ Methodology: (Individual)
In a group of 4-5 person, students required to choose two (2) case studies on the application of passive sustainable design strategies within an architectural project; 1 from tropical climate region and 1 from other climatic region. Each group are expected to:
a. Identify and compare the passive design strategies applied in both case studies, including factors of; site planning, day lighting, façade design, natural ventilation and strategic landscaping and other active green design strategies.
b. Further analyse and elaborate the impact of these passive strategies on the quality and spatial experience of the chosen project.
c. As an outcome, each group shall produce an A2 infographic poster and an A5 portrait booklet not more than 20-25 pages consisting of written text, diagrams, sketches, drawings and images.
Outcomes:
Our group has chosen the case studies below:
Tropical Climate Region: Diamond Building/ Suruhanjaya Tenaga Malaysia.
Other Climatic Region: ( Temperate Climate ) - The Bullitt Center, Washington, UK.
1. A2 Infographic Poster:
2. A5 Portrait Booklet:
3. Overall Boards:
Learning Outcomes:
- Describe passive sustainable design, its green technologies and its applicable design strategies.
- Analyze passive sustainable design strategies in relation to climate and culture and compare their impact on space and user experience.
