Presentation Layout
Your presentation should be 15 minutes long. Please practice before and time yourself.
Tip: Some projectors have better resolution than others. If you know where you are going to present, test your slides beforehand sitting in the final row of the room. Can you read/see everything?

Introduce yourselves and your site and present up tp three guiding principles for your design. |
1-2 |
|
Show one or more precedents. Present a target EUI and motivate your choice. |
1 |
|
Discuss your site using Google Maps, a Rhino massing model of surrounding buildings and a shading study. Describe how you intend to work with your local climate. Be specific. If you show any climate graphs or figures, they should directly relate to your site and design. |
1-2 |
|
Daylight and Electric Lighting Walk us through your original three daylit massing models and what solution you ended up choosing. Motivate your choice. Present a visual comfort analysis (e.g. glare and view) and describe any resulting dynamic or static shading systems. Show your electric lighting solution with an overview plan of all luminaires for your project. Show inside and outside perspectives of your final design as well as a sample floor plan. How adaptive is your concept? |

Environmental>Environmental Concepti> Describe your thermal envelope using select sections. Explain your energy concept. How does the building function? What are the main environmental features such as added insulation, lighting controls, shading, PV and HVAC systems? |
1-2 1-2 |
|
Discuss operational energy use versus thermal comfort considerations in your building. [1] Present simulated annual energy use and compare it to your earlier defined target EUI. |
1-2 |

Concluding Thoughts |
1-2 |
[1] Optional; If you decide to explore natural/hybrid ventilation techniques and you switch off the cooling system for all of some of your zone types, you will have to show the resulting hourly temperature distributions for those zones.
Table 2: Items to remembers
|
Figures - All plans and perspectives should have a North arrow. - All figures need correct units and legends (cd/m 2 and lux are not the same; pay attention to kWh vs. kWh/m2 as well as kWh vs. BTU). |
|
Energy - For all energy simulations make sure that you understand whether you are calculating site or source EUI. - Thermal model upgrades are ideally communicated via annual EUI charts . |
