ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

Between Fall 2021 to Spring 2023 I conducted several workshops to help second and fourth-year students understand the role of building performance in design development, particularly daylight and airflow. I introduced daylight analysis software to them as an integral part of the design process. In the first part of this exercise, the students conduct daylighting analysis of their building design and use the analysis outcome to identify areas for improvement moving forward and to modify the design for further development. The goals of this workshop is to develop the ability to evaluate a series of design options to select the most advantageous path forward and learn to integrate daylighting analyses in the design process.
