Description:

High Performance Building System Design Strategies

Abstract:

This presentation will review building energy trends and discusses major design strategies for wide range of building types.  Additionally, the presentation will offer a proven collaborative approach to optimize the energy and operational performance of buildings. The building configuration/massing and envelope plays a major role in meeting any buildings sustainability goals and complying with ever-improving energy codes requirements. The art of designing a beautiful façade that balances loss/ gain, daylight, solar radiation requires an optimized integrated solution. Case buildings will dive into the required design strategies that improve the built environment and adds value to the development.
