A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Utilizing a Multidisciplinary Design Team for Energy Efficient Renovations of Existing Buildings
The Architectural Engineering Department at the University of Wyoming (UW) is continually exploring new teaching methods related to building sciences and interdisciplinary design (integrated design). A recent shift to a modeling based project format in both the design and analysis courses has been a disruptive and somewhat radical mission. Parallel with this shift towards model-based learning is an effort to focus more on existing building renovation and reuse. These changes aim to connect building prediction with building performance evaluation for a comprehensive and sustainable building design education. The intent of this paper is to summarize the progress of our recent efforts to develop integrated design projects, leading up to the creation of a multidisciplinary design studio with a focus on building performance and existing building renovation. Our early conclusion is that the educator's toolkit is expanded and improved by the incorporation of both predictive (forward) modeling and existing building analysis, particularly when both are incorporated into a building renovation studio project with a multidisciplinary design team.
