Last weekend went in the assignment for#EDGEbuildings for one of their courses called 'Designing for greater efficiencies. The main idea was to design a Net zero office building. The intent was not only to design energy systems which are 100% efficient but also to create an environment which adapts better to surroundings, has better indoor quality and offers good views and daylight to optimize the experience of people using it. The design is based on the preliminary studies and the limited time that I got before submission.
The design exercise provides insight to strategies used to achieve net zero building. The resulted building design achieves the integrates systems which is 75% more efficient than the base case.
Designing for an efficient and sustainable built environment is a sought-after skill across the globe. The Edge building app by the World Bank Group will equip you with insight into designing for resource efficiency.
