11 Capstone Project

The Spatial UTCI analysis performed on the podium levels justifies the use of a canopy above to mitigate heat gain during summers. The hourly UTCI plot shows that the overall feels-like temperature remains hotter during the summer months (Jun-Aug).

About 65% of the podium area experiences hotter temperatures, with the central and bottom areas most exposed. With the canopy, the temperature all across the podium significantly drops by ~1.5°C.

Energy

The building’s Energy Use Intensity (EUI) was measured with the Regular EPW and an Urban EPW generated with Dragonfly, for daytime & nighttime occupancies.

As a result of Urban Heat Island, the difference between cooling loads during nighttime is 13kWh/m2, much more than 3kWh/m2 difference in daytime.

The urban model created reveals higher feels-like temperatures that contribute to a higher temperature difference between day and night.

Optimized Shading Currrent Shading

Optimization

The current shading derived from panelling which is the same across all four facades, is optimized using Galapagos as solver. The genomes considered are all four horizontal depths and horizontal angle.

The optimized shading using the metric of Direct Sun Hours shows significant improvements, especially in the east and west facades with 26.6% and 22.6% improvement respectively.
