Integrated Design Lab & Whole Building Design| Portfolio

The Integrated Design Lab (IDL) module gives a complete understanding of daylighting concepts and optimization techniques to minimize artificial lighting in buildings. The Whole Building Design (WBD) module gives key insights into a comprehensive strategy of passive design techniques, envelope and HVAC optimization to reduce energy use in buildings, relating each modification with energy savings and cost feasibility. This portfolio documents the energy modelling and optimization of the L.M. College of Pharmacy building as per Whole Building Performance (WBP) Method of the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC), 2017.
