Integrated Design Lab & Whole Building Design

The Integrated Design Lab (IDL) module imparts a thorough understanding of daylighting concepts and optimization techniques to minimize artificial lighting. The Whole Building Design (WBD) module provides key insights into a comprehensive strategy, encompassing passive design, envelope, and HVAC optimization for reduced energy consumption in buildings, linking each modification to energy savings and cost feasibility. This portfolio details the energy modeling and optimization of the L.M. College of Pharmacy building according to the Whole Building Design (WBD) Method of the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC), 2017. The IDL module covers daylighting evaluation and facade design iterations, offering a holistic approach to energy efficiency.
