Our Contribution:
Our role is to inform the facade design, and assist the Architects in term of the solar performance of each design alternatives. Our services include:
• Touching base with the Architects regarding their architectural design intentions, and assessing the performance of current design.
• Based on the current design, we made suggestions for (1) glass size, (2) dimensioning shading elements, and we assessed the performance of integrating movable fabrics.
• Mapping a number of solutions that meet the set solar gains target, and discussing their impacts on view-out and daylight quality.
