PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION

Performance specification refers to the methodology of identifying metrics that will help designing an energy efficient building.  These can be used as performance benchmark.

With the motto of “minimizing losses before optimizing gains”, such metrics include, but are not limited to:

 

§  Maximum Envelope Loss

§  Area / Volume Ratio

§  Solar Galazing / Flooor Area Ratio

§  Solar Gain Orientation

§  Diurnal heat Capacity

§  Ventilation Aperture Angle

§  Minimum Daylight Factor

§  Photovoltaic Tilt and Azimuth Angles

§  Rain Water Roof Collection Area

 

With the help of dynamic parametric modeling, such performance benchmarks can be determined based on specific climate and contextual features.
