Designing Day-lit, Glare Free, Energy Efficient Buildings in Budget

Data Driven Design For Energy Efficient Buildings

Shifting energy codes are challenging architects with a wide array of parameters to balance like energy, cost, daylight, views, and embodied carbon. Hiring a consultant for every kind of analysis is a burden on fees. Many architects are harnessing simulation to shape the design and details of their projects. To be successful, teams must understand the levers that impact the performance and set up processes for success. Join this session diving into two case studies to generate beautiful analysis graphics and see how to shape the narrative in a data driven design process.

Learning Objectives:

• Overview of key performance parameters on project and their financial impact
• Learn about how 2 distinct teams iterated to achieve high performance project design
• Use the case studies to understand the core workflow for performance driven decision making
• Track and report projects to the AIA 2030
