[email protected] Lawrence Technological University Executive Summary The main objective of this proposal is to design a new three story junior college classroom building in Doha, Qatar which showcases modern sustainable design by accounting for energy efficiency, health and safety, occupant comfort, functionality, longevity, flexibility, and serviceability. This project is introduced and sponsored by ASHRAE Annual Student Design Project Competition. Therefore, to meet the requirements of high energy performance buildings, ASHRAE standards have been used as a guideline throughout the entire design development phases of the project for example, ASHRAE 189.1-2014. The Education City in Qatar has been selected as the potential location for the project since it is considered a sustainable developing educational district that embraces international universities, K-12 schools, and research centers. The project design process started with collecting information about the general climatic conditions of Doha, Qatar using Climate Consultant 6.0 software, using Abu Dhabi as the closest proxy site. Based on charts and annual collected data, Doha, Qatar is categorized under Zone 1 based on ASHRAE criteria of hot and humid climates.
