Assignment 1

In a group of two, we are to select a precedent study of Low Energy Building/Net Zero (Residential/Hospitality/Institution/Office/Commercial) of our choice from an existing building locally or internationally (approved by the Tutors).
a) Discuss the impact of the energy efficient strategies implemented to the built environment on the global scene and understand how these strategies affect the energy demands in the chosen building.
b) List the inventory of its energy efficient strategies on (Façade, Lighting System, HVAC System, Waste Management, Renewable Energy used, Waste Management).
c) The inventory list can be described or illustrated with the combination of graphs, text, images, infographics, doodles etc.
This assignment will be presented in an infographic video and the softcopy link to be submitted to TiMes .

Outcome

Teammate: Lee Jia Hui
Tutor : Ar. Edwin

Our chosen building is Bristol Community College John J. Sbrega Health and Science Building, located in Fall River, United States by Sasaki.  Certification : Zero Net Energy; LEED® Platinum certified

Reflection

In this project, I have learnt more on the strategies adopted by the chosen building. As they are located in a humid continental climatic zone, with long snowy winters and warm humid climates, they have played more attention on heating and cooling system. Therefore, it is a great explosure to active and passive strategies they used to counter their climatic which is different from tropical climate. Last but not least, thanks to my teammate, Lee Jia Hui for working together with me in collecting information, analysing data and compiling them into an infographic manner. We enjoyed in the editting process.
