Environment I Analysis

Total U value was calculated based on the pods’ materials

According to FCBS calculation, the total amount of embodied carbon of this project is 448kgco2e/m2 which is more than the 2030 goal and less than the 2025s. However, FCBS does not allow us to enter all of the inputs based on the project’s details.

To measure receiving solar radiation, Grasshopper’s Ladybug was utilized. The radiation on glazings was calculated on the winter and summer solstice and spring and autumn equinox at 10 am. Based on the results, shaders work properly since the index of radiation in the spring and autumn are higher than in summer, and it means shaders allow the building to gain radiation when it is colder and block it when it is not needed.

By using passive cooling system, the total value is increased.

By providing communal spaces and activities the community is established

By increasing the connection between residents and nature, the wellbeing and good health were considered

Elevating the building off the ground has a minor effect on the ecosystem. Also, sustainable farming improves the ecosystem.

By using timber as the main material for the structure embodied carbon has been decreased to 448 Kg

Providing proper bicycle lockers for the residents encourages them to use their bicycles.
