Qualitative Daylighting Analysis, Alejandra Ruiz, Genevieve Wasser, Bora Architects

Research-Based Design Initiative

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a combination of strategies used for analyzing daylighting qualities in the context of two classrooms. The strategies include qualitative information from observations and a post-occupancy survey, on-site light level measurements, and computer generated simulations all intended to inform a comparative analysis of the daylighting conditions and perceived daylighting qualities between the two classrooms. This composite approach takes into consideration access to daylight and views, glare problems and control strategies, use of window coverings, and perceived impact of daylight in order to identify and analyze the presence of certain biophilic design patterns. While both rooms …

Knight Cancer Research Building, Darren Biles, Peter Heibel, Srg Partnership

Research-Based Design Initiative

The Knight Cancer Research Building (KCRB) will be a 7-story research facility with a proposed site in the South Waterfront district. It will be the first building of a two-phase construction project; the second building, expected for completion in about 10 years, will connect to the KCRB's north facade. Until then, the KCRB north facade will be visually and environmentally exposed.

The north facade will include an atrium flanked by more enclosed spaces such as egress stairs, storage, and meeting rooms. The south facade of the Phase II building will define the remaining walls of the atrium as its lower …

Occupant Usage And Behavior, Zach Baugher, Janna Ferguson, Yukari Kubo, Erika Colvin

Research-Based Design Initiative

The Metro Building is located at 600 NE Grand Ave in Portland, OR. Occupied by Metro, a regional governmental organization, the building houses roughly 400 employees over a total of 120,000 square feet of office space. The objective of our research, in collaboration with YGH architecture and New Buildings Institute, is to provide Metro with a cumulative plan of action to address energy inefficiencies due to occupant behavior, equipment, and furniture arrangement. A user survey was sent to all the Metro employees to understand how they feel about their work environment and to begin to brainstorm ways their environment could …

The “Building Performance What Ifs” project collaborated with Boora Architects to analyze the envelope design performance for three schools in the Portland area. The three selected schools, North Clackamas High School, Rock Creek Middle School, and the Early Learning Center addition to Earl Boyles Elementary School serve as examples of evolving knowledge and strategies in envelope performace design in recent years.

Multnomah County Courthouse Day Light Analysis, Angela Van Duzen, Srg Partnership

Research-Based Design Initiative

The projects is a comprehensive day lighting analysis of spatial qualities to maximize daylight autonomy of the courtroom space for the Multnomah County. The courthouse is a new construction designed by SRG architects who are commissioned by Multnomah County. The building is located on 1st and Jefferson adjacent to the Hawthorne Bridge on Portland, OR. The aim of the study is to determine whether a light well in the center of the tower is a viable solution to provide natural light into the courtrooms or not. The tested were conducted through digital models using Diva plug-in through Rhino as our …

Living Building Challenge, Emily Jane Bedell, Hayley Nelke, Srg Architects

Research-Based Design Initiative

The Living Economy Sourcing imperative intends to promote growth of local economic structure while reducing negative transportation related effects on human and environmental health. Requirements for material sourcing distances are presented in this imperative, as seen in the map below, from Portland, OR. The manufacturer location is defined as the place where the final product is fabricated and assembled. A distribution facility does not qualify as a products’ manufacturer location. Methods of improving and localizing the total sourcing radius should be researched.

Creating An Eco-District At Lincoln High School, Willy Chandler, Isaac Schultz, Abbey Dacey, Mike Manzi, Corey T. Griffin, Kalina Vanderpoel

Research-Based Design Initiative

The EcoDistrict protocol is a list of concepts centered around connectivity, sustainability, and resiliency in neighborhoods and urban environments. Initial research consisted of reviewing precedents for EcoDistricts and other high performance neighborhoods and schools. Lincoln High School, Providence Park and the Multnomah Athletic Club were identified as the stakeholders of a potential EcoDistrict due to their location and energy demand. Calculations and estimates were made for the potential employment of “green” energy and water technologies on site and in the surrounding neighborhood. Estimates were made to determine what would be necessary to achieve net zero annual energy and water consumption …

Baseline Daylight Autonomy And Glare, Portland State University. School Of Architecture

Research-Based Design Initiative

With the 2050 Energy Challenge in mind, many institutions are embracing strict policies on energy consumption in order to be at the vangaurd of sustainable practice. The California State Educational System is one such organization, specifying a 25% below code requirements for University buildings. This project specifically involves a retrofit of Cruess Hall, a former shop and storage space on the campus of UC Davis.

Our first task was establishing a baseline from which we can understand the conditions of existing light quality. The project is in design development stage, so after a baseline is established design suggestions can be …
