KLINGSTUBBINS Incorporating Analysis Tools Into the Sustainable Design Process CaSe STUDy IES PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS INTEGRATION November 2008 | USA KlIngSTUBBInS IncorpOrating analysis ToolS Into The SustaInaBle DeSIgn prOCess Overview KlingStubbins is a leading design firm with over sixty years of experience specializing in architecture, engineering, interiors, planning, and landscape architecture. Recognizing the importance of sustainability in both its design and practices, KlingStubbins takes an integrated approach to its operations and design processes. Beginning in the 1980s, The Challenge ”The biggest challenge we are seeing KlingStubbins merged its architecture As energy and performance have now is that our clients want very detailed and engineering offices to provide become more and more important to information about building performance its clients with a one-stop-shop for successful design projects, KlingStubbins earlier and earlier in the design effort,” has been looking for tools that could help says Jonathan Weiss, Director of exceptional design, and is always coordinate between architectural design Sustainability at KlingStubbins. researching new methods to options and the engineering ramifications “We need to have tools that allow us to streamline the entire design process of these options. Conventional practice make comparative decisions early on, from start to finish. Such integration was to have separate tools used by so that we can make sure that we meet requires leaders from each of the different disciplines, and they were performance targets for energy and looking for a system that could make the company’s core disciplines, including LEED.” While a detailed energy simulation design process as seamless as possible. architecture, engineering and interior, using DOE-2 or Energy Plus would take Finding a way to coordinate between to collaborate when resolving building weeks to build, they needed to find tools 3D modeling tools such as Bentley’s performance issues such as the that could get them moving in the right Generative Components, and Autodesk’s direction earlier in the process, since interrelationship between building Revit was important to KlingStubbins. decisions about form, envelope, and siting, exterior envelope, system Ideally, the application or tool could be primary system decisions can have design and energy and resource used from the earliest design stage an enormous impact on final energy consumption. through to completion. performance.

As a profession, we have to begin thinking differently about what sustainable design means. The pace of climate change mandates an approach that goes beyond meeting energy targets for the occasional sustainable project. We need to have a deeper understanding of the concept of sustainable design and its place in our practice. To truly meet this challenge, sustainability must be embedded into the way we practice.

  • Case Studies on Space Zoning and Passive Façade Strategies for Green Laboratories
    ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH, Vol. 22, No. 2(June 2020). pp.41-52 pISSN 1229-6163 eISSN 2383-5575 Case Studies on Space Zoning and Passive Façade Strategies for Green Laboratories Jinho Kim Associate Professor, Division of Architecture and Urban Design, Incheon National University, Incheon, South Korea https://doi.org/10.5659/AIKAR.2020.22.2.41 Abstract Laboratory buildings with specialized equipment and ventilation systems pose challenges in terms of efficient energy use and initial construction costs. Additionally, lab spaces should have flexible and efficient layouts and provide a comfortable indoor research environment. Therefore, this study aims to identify the correlation between the facade of a building and its interior layout from case studies of energy-efficient research labs and to propose passive energy design strategies for the establishment of an optimal research environment. The case studies in this paper were selected from the American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment Top Ten Projects and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified research lab projects. In this paper, the passive design strategies of space zoning, façade design devices to control heating and cooling loads were analyzed. Additionally, the relationships between these strategies and the interior lab layouts, lab support spaces, offices, and circulation areas were examined. The following four conclusions were drawn from the analysis of various cases: 1) space zoning for grouping areas with similar energy requirements is performed to concentrate similar heating and cooling demands to simplify the HVAC loads. 2) Public areas such as corridor, atrium, or courtyard can serve as buffer zones that employ passive solar design to minimize the mechanical energy load.

  • Architecture 2030 Fact Sheet 1 Architecture 2030 Fact Sheet
    Fact Sheet July 19, 2010 Because the Building Sector is key to addressing energy independence and climate change, the success of an energy or climate bill hinges on setting realistic targets for achieving dramatic energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in the Building Sector. Set correctly, these targets can provide a reasonable and beneficial pace for change that will achieve the reductions necessary within the timeline called for by the scientific community. The following facts make clear what these targets need to be and show conclusively that they are achievable: 1. In 2008, the Building Sector was responsible for: • 50.1% of total annual U.S. energy consumption [1], • 49.1% of total annual U.S. GHG emissions [1], • 74.5% of total annual U.S. electricity consumption [2], and • most of the projected 7.34 QBtu increase in U.S. electricity consumption by 2030 [3]. 2. To constrain global warming within 2 °C, the IPCC projects that developed countries must cut their emissions 25% to 40% below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% to 95% below 1990 levels by 2050, according to the best available scientific analyses. 3. In order to meet the reductions established by the scientific community, President Obama has called for an 83% reduction of U.S. GHG emissions below 2005 levels by 2050, which equates to approximately 80% below 1990 levels. 4. California, with one of the most aggressive and effective building energy codes in the country, Title 24, uses less than half the electricity and, on average, 44% less building energy consumption per capita when compared to states without a statewide building energy code (see Appendix D).

    Vekasy of KlingStubbins co-led the Winter BIM Forum in Phoenix February 24, 2010 - Front Section KlingStubbins continues to lead the march towards the building industry's adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology as a "best practice" project delivery method. On January 14th and 15th in Phoenix, AZ, Sarah Vekasy, AIA, LEED AP, a project architect with the design firm's Cambridge office, co-led one of the nation's largest assemblies on BIM information exchange. The Winter BIMForum brought together more than 250 designers, engineers, construction professionals, service providers, and owners to discuss a wide range of BIM uses from design to fabrication and installation to facilities management. The BIMForum is a task force under the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) organization; it consists of over 1,500 members and meets three times a year. Vekasy serves on the BIMForum's Leadership Committee, as the Emerging Leaders Subforum co-chair, along with John Tocci, Jr. Vekasy served as the project architect for design technology company Autodesk's AEC Headquarters project in Waltham, Mass. The LEED-CI Platinum Certified Autodesk project was the first in New England to use the Integrated Project Delivery approach, one agreement signed by the owner, architect, and general contractor and enabled by the use of BIM technology to encourage collaboration and to expedite the construction process. The project received national recognition for its design and project delivery excellence, winning awards from BusinessWeek, Architectural Record, Interior Design, and the American Institute of Architects. KlingStubbins provides professional services in all major disciplines within the realm of architecture, engineering, interiors, planning, and landscape architecture.
