Assessment 2 in Lighting, Acoustics and Advanced Environmental Control required us to work in teams of two to design a building in a specific site with specifications that suited the conditions. I chose to work with the conditions associated with Brisbane and to design an office building using sustainable practices, efficient power management, and minimalist environmental control solutions. As a team we collaborated in the design stage to create a CLT and Glulam based office, with stop start levels, chilled beams, HVAC systems, hour controlled lighting, and solar tracking operable external timber louver systems. Every decision made reflected our stance on sustainable practices and with the mindset to create a multi functional space so that the building can be “recycled” with minimal waste once its done with its original function.
See below for more technical information on how we achieved these systems.
