For this project, students should form groups of 4 to 6 students each to work on this project.
\nScenario:
\nDue to climate change, green and sustainable issues have become a very important aspect
\nof building design and development. As a building performance consultant to a local
\ndeveloper who is keen to incorporate the green and sustainable building systems, you are to
\nadvise the developer on the potential building systems that could be incorporated in a
\nnumber of his commercial building projects.
\nTask 1: Propose a suitable system for each of the following building systems. (30 marks)
\n(1) Envelope system
\n(2) HVAC system
\nIn your recommendation of the proposed building systems, you need to justify your
\nrecommendation by highlighting their green and sustainable features specifically on the
\naspects of thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
\nTask 2: Discuss the use of building energy management system to optimise the HVAC and
\nlighting system energy consumption. (10 marks)
\nTask 3: Propose a building energy simulation software to estimate the building energy
\nconsumption. (40 marks)
\nIn your recommendation of the proposed building energy simulation software, you need to
\nidentify key features and advantages of the software, the key environmental factors and the
\nassociated design parameters that should be considered in the simulation, the boundary
\nconditions required for simulation and the expected simulation outputs.
\nDeliverables:
\n1. Group Oral Presentation (15 marks)
\nEach group presents 15 minutes. The presentation should include all the 3 Tasks as listed
\nabove. There will be about 5 minutes for questions.
\n2. Group Final Report (80 marks)
\nEach group must submit a technical report that covers all the 3 Tasks as listed above.
\nWord count guide: 2500 words.
\nThe report format, structure, tidiness and reference count for 5 marks.
\nThe report should be produced in a single document in A4 format, in a Word or pdf
\ndocument. Photographs and sketches may be used, where relevant. Please ensure that any
\nimages are compressed before insertion into the document to minimize file size.
\nReporting standards
\n1. You are required to use professional, non\u2010discriminatory language.
\n2. A recognised referencing system must be used for all work; unless otherwise specified for a
\nparticular piece of work. The Harvard System is recommended. Information about the Harvard
\n(and other systems) is available from:
