Duration and Role: 3 months - Independent consultant project
Typology: Contemporary University Building
Location: Sheffield, England
During my time at university, I became competent in modelling using AutoCAD, Revit, IESVE and DesignBuilder. I am able to complete various building analysis using these softwares and use them daily in industry. For example:
​
-
Energy modelling using IESVE and DesignBuilder - measuring Energy Use Intensity, CO2 emissions, indoor air temperature, ventilation and much more.
-
Indoor daylight analysis - measuring DF (daylight factor) and illuminance
-
Radiation analysis - cumulative insolation on surfaces
-
Early stage building analysis - simulation concept forms for WWR (window to wall ratio), shading devices, orientation, HVAC system, building envelopes, glazing types, addition of Solar PV and their affect on EUI
-
Solar shading analysis
​
This project demonstrates the use of these skills in the context of a proposal building whereby I was asked to profuce simulation analysis and draw evaluations of the proposal building. I then made design suggestions based on the findings in the report.
