Green Studio Handbook - Part 1

What is this book? -Providing a range of green strategies. - Helping designers understand what each strategy is to make an informed decision. - These strategies have to be considered in the initial stages because they may determine the form, layout and the building itself. - The book talks about 2 category of strategies, active and passive and green/integrated design process.

Approach ,[object Object],- This Stage involves the development of the program and meeting the owner's project requirements. -The green design should be stated as an objective at this stage or it would be more difficult to implement. -This stage is more of a sales effort than a design effort.

Approach ,[object Object],-This stage provides several design solutions and alternatives, where a solution picked by the client would be pursued. - Some form giving design strategies would be presented in drawing for the client.

Approach ,[object Object],-This phase provides technical drawings reflecting the concept, and provides a verification of whether the project is feasible or within budget. -Its when the concept becomes a reality -The book is primarily written for this phase.

Approach ,[object Object],-In this phase, schematic design decisions are validated, systems are optimized, details are developed, specific equipment selected, and drawings and specifications initiated.

Approach ,[object Object],-This includes construction drawings and specifications. - These documents are a major part of the contract, and basis for construction.

Approach ,[object Object],-This phase converts the construction documents to a physical reality. -The testing and verification of green system is performed.

Approach ,[object Object],-Some of the strategies need informed operators, the design team generates a user's manual to ensure proper system operation.

Design Intent, Criteria and Method ,[object Object],- An intent is a general statement of expected outcome, for example: a green building, a low cost building, an efficient building, a comfortable building, a building with good air quality.

Design Intent, Criteria and Method ,[object Object],-A design criterion is a benchmark that sets a minimum acceptable performance target for the issues addressed in the intent statements.

Design Intent, Criteria and Method ,[object Object],-A method is a means of accomplishing intent and meeting criteria.

Green vs. Sustainable ,[object Object],-Green design focuses on reducing the environmental impacts of energy, water and material usage.

Green vs. Sustainable ,[object Object],-Sustainability is defined as meeting the needs of the current generations without impairing the future generations.

Conclusion There are many ways for a building to be green and environmentally friendly, and its the architect's role to know the strategies and imply them correctly.
