Proposer Additional Info
I am a Sassy Designer who loves creating energy efficient buildings that are comfortable and beautiful. I am passionate about the innovation in the built environment and impact this has on wellness and, sharing it with people.
Proposed Session Description
The purpose of this session is to encourage Designers to create opportunities for realizing high performance buildings with solutions that do not exist today. A good design does not stop at a building. A good design seeks; what is next? It was this very question that gave birth to developing the Window/AC prototype for Bronx Pro Group (client) because of the need to have more affordable, controllable, smaller targeted air conditioned options in Passive House designs. Since the application of the window AC unit in a Thermo Tech window had limitations, it led to an apt opportunity to invent a prototype. The approach was to install a window AC in a certified Passive House window that can be closed when not in use and kept open when in use. The second part of the session will be analysing the data and testing of the prototype to meet the envelope air leakage requirement of 0.08 CFM50/sf of the envelope per PHIUS requirements by Steven Winter Associates.
Diversity and Inclusiveness
As a minority person equity and inclusion is very important to me and it is not simply a tick box. I use my privilege as Designer to make High performance buildings accessible for Affordable communities that will lead to improved building comfort and wellness.
Learning Objectives
Encourage Designers to implement building science into the design process.
Explain the need for future proofing market products for Designers and Owners.
Understand and Identify the testing of the prototype back to the high performing envelope.
Describe strategies of how the prototype can be used in both new construction and Retrofit.
