Fall 2021 Critic: Michael Gamble Collaboration with Lauriane Donang, Stephen Conschafter, Luke Davis, Hithaisri Janga

sDA (Spatial Daylight Autonomy) overall sDA: 20%

Light finishes and glazed interior partitions will maximize the transmittance of daylight into the interior spaces in addition to the spaces with advantageous locations near the front atrium and central lightwell.

ASE (Annual Solar Exposure) overall ASE: 15%

Operable shading devices will be a critical component to managing glare. Automated systems can balance natural lighting while minimizing uncomfortable glare.

Envelope Radiation maximum solar potential: 268 kWh/m2

High radiation potential on the green roof and photovoltaic array will maximize energy generation and vegetative potential.

Sunlight Hours maximum sun hours: 12

The building's orientation makes sunlight available throughout the operating day, with glare management during the morning hours (eastern sunlight into the offices) being the primary concern.
