|
|
|
Site and Environmental Analysis 2.1.3 Identify strategies for dealing with environmental issues in site evaluation. |
Adjacency to public transportation Site Drainage Erosion, Fire, Landslides Locate existing trees and native plant materials that should be preserved Solar Orientation - Evaluate solar radiation as a potential energy source and daylighting Wind Patterns Landscape site conditions Impact of adjacent landforms and/or structures Chart existing water features that should be protected Possible solutions for recycling waste on site. |
|
|
|
Site and Environmental Analysis 2.2.1 Formulate a building siting solution given a specific site, selected physical factors and design criteria. |
Cool Regions - minimizing the surface area of a building reduces exposure to low temps. Maximize solar radiation, reduce radiant, conductive, and evaporative heat loss, provide wind protection Temperate regions - Elongating the form of a building along the east-west axis maximizes south-facing walls. minimize east and west exposures, balance solar heat gain with seasonal shade protection, encourage air movement in hot weather and protect against wind in cold weather. Hot-Arid Regions: Building forms should enclose courtyard spaces. reduce solar and conductive heat gain, promote cooling by evaporation using water features and plantings, provide solar shading for windows and outdoor spaces. Hot-Humid Regions: building form elongated along the east-west axis minimizes east and west exposures. Reduce solar heat gain, utilize wind to promote cooling by evaporation - cross ventilation, provide solar shading for windows and outdoor spaces. |
For a general understanding discuss cool regions vs temperate regions vs hot-arid regions vs hot-humid regions |
|
|
Site and Environmental Analysis 2.2.2 Explain the principles of grading and storm water management as they apply to site design. |
Necessary to prevent erosion and the collection of excess surface water Subsurface - underground network of piping for conveying groundwater to a point of disposal Surface Drainage - Water/runoff should be diverted (swales) into natural drainage patterns or municipal. Finish grades -to be sloped to drain surface water away from a building storm sewer. Slopes: Grass lawns and fields 1.5-10% recommended, paved areas 2-3% recommended |
Surface drainage preferable to underground storm drainage systems (cheaper) Storm drain layout should be simple with as few manholes as possible 4-10% slopes most suitable for building. |
|
|
Site and Environmental Analysis 2.2.3 Describe the relationship between energy consumption and site design. |
Proper site design can take advantage of opportunities within the site, which would directly impact non-passive strategies within the building and result in lower overall use of mechanical systems. Factors include: Prevailing winds, solar orientation, topography and drainage, adjacent landforms, vegetation and structures. |
|
|

Guards when walkways are adjacent drops/slopes. Passenger loading: at leas one for the mobility impaired with accessible aisle adjacent and parallel to the vehicle pull-up space. Parking: Required number of stalls, location of stalls, aisle widths within stalls Curbs: curb cuts to follow accessible standards and allow movement of persons with mobility issues.
