Project 1: Case Study: Analyzing Passive building design strategies
For this project a space is chosen to improve the passive building design for thermal comfort.We as a group record and analyze the existing condition in terms of thermal comfort and explained how the thermal environment of our chosen case study is affected from natural and man -made factors.
Based on the data collected we then modify the space to be passively ventilated and shaded.The space we chose is the yoga room in the gym and we have proposed a few ideas that helps to reduce the thermal heat gain of the space .
Some of the ideas proposed was vertical and horizontal fins in which a green wall is integrated on the vertical fins that helps not only to shade the space but also cool down the building load which i would integrate in my future design ideas. I also learned that the type of windows chosen affects the building's ventilation system which i would definitely give a thought when designing because different windows have different ways of deflects the wind .
