Part 8 - Design Development - Details
These images illustrate the design development phase of the project and specifically the refi nement of the building envelope to assure that it will meet the performance expectations of the initial computer simulations.
|
Investigative Strategy |
Use COMcheck and BuildingGreen Suite in the design and detailing of the building envelope.
|
Evaluation Process |
Accurate utilization of COMcheck, especially the proper input of information and the validation of this information through detailed drawings.
|
Evaluative Criteria |
Accuracy.
Evaluating the quality of the drawings was the responsibility of the instructor of the companion course.
|
Cautions - Possible Confusions |
This portion of the project obviously requires close coordination with another course. We haven’t experienced any problems, but it could be a potential problem. |
