SBSE Checklist

Design Performance Objective

SBSE Checklist for Regenerative Design and Construction
The checklist (based on Malcom Wells’ earlier version) demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of Ed’s proposed building. Overall, it’s rated as sustainable, but not regenerative.

Student: Ed Ostrom

Software/Tools:

Malcolm Wells' Checklist

Construction Carbon Calculator

Fall 2006 McCall Field Campus Studio

Program Statement
Design a sustainable building.

This project responds to NAAB Student Performance Criteria

#19: Environmental Systems
Understanding of the basic principles and appropriate application and performance of environmental systems, including acoustical, lighting, and climate modification systems, and energy use, integrated with the building envelope

#21: Building Envelope Systems
Understanding of the basic principles and appropriate application and performance of building envelope materials and assemblies

#28: Comprehensive Design
Ability to produce a comprehensive architectural project based on a building program and site that includes development of programmed spaces demonstrating an understanding of structural and environmental systems, building envelope systems, life-safety provisions, wall sections and building assemblies and the principles of sustainability

Investigative Strategy

Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of twenty-two facets of the design. Ed Ostrom’s classroom building has weaknesses in food production, transportation, energy source, and repair and cleaning; yet has strengths in many other areas, so is considered sustainable, but not regenerative.

Evaluation Process

Use the SBSE Regeneration-Based Checklist for Design and Construction for evaluation.

Evaluative Criteria

A successful project has more possitive ratings than negative ones. A balanced rating of zero is considered sustainable.

Cautions - Possible Confusions

The checklist is subjective in nature. It is best used to compare design alternatives during the design process because it presents a full range of issues. Its most effective use as an evaluation tool is by having the entire class discuss each item for a design and come to a consensus on its value. Alternatively, each student can rate a project after it’s presented. Then their ratings can be compiled to show consensus. The checklist doesn’t evaluate carbon used in construction, so Mithūn Architects’ carbon calculator can be used in augmentation.

Duration of Exercise

This work was presented at the culmination of an eight-week comprehensive design phase. The rating itself can be done in a short time.

Degree of Difficulty / Previous Knowledge Required

This is work assigned to a graduate student in his penultimate studio taken after all of the basic technical courses on structures and environmental systems.
