Assignment 2: Passive Green Building Strategies Report
A Green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use – energy, water, and materials – while reducing building impact on human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. Green Buildings should be designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on its surroundings.
Assignment 2: Passive Green Building Strategies Report
Duration: 8 weeks
Objectives:
-
To analyze theories and principles of passive green building design strategies.
-
To integrate understanding of sustainable design strategies in the development of architectural design.
We were required to develop passive and active green building strategies simultaneously with our final architectural studio (3/4/5) project. Students are expected to: 1. Employ all passive green building strategies by their tropical building case study done in the Assignment 1 wherever possible, including but not limited to site planning, day lighting, façade design, natural ventilation, strategic landscaping and other renewable energies.
