Video details
The environmental footprint of buildings includes energy use and carbon emissions associated with materials and construction as well as building operation. Design is most sustainable when it simultaneously accounts for structural and thermal performance of buildings and interactions of buildings with the urban environment. This presentation will share component and system designs produced by simulation workflows that capture these interactions: lightweight, thermally activated concrete floor systems that substantially reduce embodied carbon while achieving modest operational savings; rejection of heat by radiation to the night sky, night-flush ventilation or seasonal storage in the ground, in lieu of the use of conventional vapor-compression cooling systems; and 3D-printing of clay blocks that provide both thermal resistance and thermal storage.
