  5. High Sustainability Goals • Minimize impact on natural environment • Maintain Energy Efficiency • Reduce use of non-sustainable materials • Manage water runoff • Maximize recycling • Water conservation

  6. Energy & Lighting Objectives Mason Courts seeks to lower energy costs by improving building performance, and also to achieve thermal and visual comfort with decreased reliance on mechanical systems

  7. Site Challenges • Orientation of building runs vertically North to South - high levels of sun exposure on East and West sides of building

  8. Solar Study-Morning • 9:00 am • 8:00 am • 10:00 am • 11:00 am • 12:00 am

  9. Solar Study-Afternoon • 2:00 pm • 1:00 pm • 3:00 pm • 4:00 pm • 5:00 pm

  10. Solar Study-Animation ON the 5th of June from sunrise to sunset

  11. Solar Study-Animation ON the 1st of January from sunrise to sunset

  12. Natural Daylighting • Wood sliding shutters • Solar Tubes to the kitchen

  13. Natural Daylighting • Saw-tooth Skylight

  14. Passive Ventilation • Thermal Heat Sensor Operable Skylights-monitors • Low speed fans to circulate air • Minimize the use of HVAC systems

  15. Electric Lighting and lighting control • Compact fluorescent lights • Occupancy sensors • Automated photocells to dim electric lights • Minimal landscape lighting

  16. Photovoltaic Systems • seamless solar roofing solution(US-Tile + SRS ) • Integrated parking solar canopy • 9’ high minimum over parking • Shaded Parking (reduces Heat Island effect)
