Project Overview
Project Description
The objective of the project is to assist MASS Design Group‘s design teams in reducing operational energy and carbon impacts, thereby improving indoor environmental quality.
Primary responsibilities include:
- Develop a robust workflow and templates so design teams can reduce operational energy and carbon impacts, and improve indoor environmental quality, using analytical results.
- Analysis involving different software such as Revit Insight, ClimateStudio, Ladybug, and Honeybee.
- Understand MASS’ existing design workflow, and explore alternative workflows.
- Evaluate operational impact metrics.
Impact
MASS Design Group’s approach aims to minimize the environmental impact of construction projects and it was founded on the understanding that architecture’s influence reaches beyond individual buildings. Through its work, MASS aims to achieve lower energy and carbon emissions, provide healthier and thriving indoor environments for partners, and support wider built environment climate goals and the environmental design education of architects.
