Project
Architecture Design
Sustainable architecture evolves to increase global benefits. The goal is to reduce the consumption of energy, water and natural resources, minimize waste and improve the quality of life of the building's occupants. Natural lighting and ventilation systems were implemented, in addition to the incorporation of renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels.
Challenges
Daylight Analysis
Various studies are created and iterated to evaluate design, materials and features. Lighting analysis can have a major impact on energy efficiency and quality of life for building occupants. In this project, both energy efficiency and light quality were considered. Of great importance to the design of applicable sustainable strategies was the distribution of light, which had to be appropriate for the intended use of the space and had to take into account the specific tasks to be performed in the store.
