Building Science (Final)

For this project, in a group of 6, we were to choose a building that would showcase the basic building design for thermal comfort. Record and analyse the existing condition in terms of thermal comfort of the interior directly affected by the basic building design.

​Research should contain the following:
a. Building Introduction (images, pictures, diagrams, drawings and description)
b. Site analysis; micro (wind, sun, topography, etc.)
c. Concept and analysis of buildings basic design strategies and proposed passive design strategy.
d. A proposal to achieve thermal comfort in the chosen space/building, elaborate design features with details, the effect on thermal comfort and importance of it.
e. Appropriate visuals and diagrams (tables, charts, etc.) with appropriate referencing and citation where applicable.

Reflection 

Through this project, I have learnt how to properly analyze the thermal performance of a building through thermal calculation that we have learnt in class. With the calculation, we were able to determine which part of the house was problematic thus enabling us to focus and develop a solution. In addition, we also learnt the importance and the different types of passive design available that could be implemented to help the building achieve optimal thermal performance through natural ventilation. In conclusion, I had a great time learning and working with my fellow teammates.
