Design for reuse

 Design for flexibility. Design a
structure that allows for changes in
use over time. This may include
modular building materials, or flexible
floor plans, with column spacings and
floor-to-floor heights that can be
easily adapted to many uses, to ensure
long structural life.

deconstructed at the end of the

Energy Design

Energy design can include strategies taken in

building orientation and configuration,
structure, envelope, ventilation, water, lighting
and mechanical design. Because the co-
ordination of these building systems and
professions is necessary to achieve significant
energy savings, it is crucial to bring them
together as the design team begins the
systems design phase.

Energy Design

 Building energy simulation:

This is a computerized modelling of a building and its
systems that forecasts the expected energy consumption
performance. It is usually based on hourly weather data for
the area and the predicted schedule of the building’s
occupants and loads. It is a useful tool to select ECMs
(energy conservation measures).The energy simulation can
take place at three stages— the first one is optional and the
last two have been found to be crucial to ensuring the utility
of the energy simulation:

Energy Design

1. The first (optional) energy simulation can

take place in the building orientation and
configuration stage. At this point, the form,
massing, orientation and configuration are
optimized. Doing a simulation at this stage is
particularly useful if the building’s HVAC loads
are dominated by outdoor conditions and it is
an “envelope dominated” building. These are
usually smaller buildings with higher envelope
area to volume ratios, or low internal loads.

2. Energy simulation can be crucial at the Building System design

stage. The kinds of energy conservation measures tested by the
simulation might include:
 design and selection of HVAC systems, including natural or
mechanical heating and ventilation
 use of renewable or alternate energy
 envelope design
 shading provided by landscape, building form, or other
devices
 lighting system design including fixture selection,
daylighting and control of glare
 selection of energy efficient water systems
 control strategies for lighting and HVAC systems

Orientation and Configuration stage, then the energy model at
