Week 1 Day 1

Most of the stuff we are learning are PBL (Problem based learning)

We started on our first case study about trying to achieve super low energy. In our group, we are tasked to research and document it. I chose to research about the Buildings intelligence and maintainability.

Week 1 Day 2

ilyasjamil188 — 2024-10-21 04:14:59 UTC

We presented our research about Dulwich College

Then we were given a problem based case. It was about D's Bakery selling mouldy bread to their customers and we have to apply FILA into the context and come out with solutions for D's Backery to solve the issues leading up to the problem.

FILA

F- What are the facts given in the context
I- Brainstorm ideas, solutions to solve the given problem
L- From the facts and ideas, develop statements to address the problem phrased as a question.
A- Actions to follow through the Learning Issue

Week 2 Day 1

ilyasjamil188 — 2024-12-08 14:56:18 UTC

Applying what we learn about FILA on our previous lesson, we had to come up with ways to make TP a SLE building by 2030. I was tasked to come up with the learning issues that we would face, such questions like "Is implementing costly ideas worth it in the long run?"

This question pose an understanding that some methods and features wouldnt be as effective and useful in the future, such as outdated models or better features than its previous ones.

Week 2 Day 2

ilyasjamil188 — 2024-12-08 15:00:32 UTC

We applied a SWOT analysis on TP sustainability measures. What i researched on was the general weakness of TP Campus and what i found was that TP is an already old existing building. This would be difficult to implement sustainable strategies but if so, it would be very costly.

Week 3 Day 1

ilyasjamil188 — 2024-12-08 15:05:54 UTC

We did a map analysis on TP, I was assigned the noise pollution, where i create the mapping of all noise sources. I divided them to communal spaces, such as canteen, hallways. The second source is machinery such as hvac system and machineries.

Week 4 Day 1 (Flex Week)

ilyasjamil188 — 2024-12-08 15:10:12 UTC

Beforehand we chose the west side of TP for our project, and we did SWOT analysis specifically for the west side.

Week 5 Day 1

ilyasjamil188 — 2024-12-08 15:18:14 UTC

We did the site analysis for the west side of TP. for my part i did solar and daylighting analysis of the entire west side of TP. I did the analysis on all software i have learned which is Revit, Sketchup and BIMHvacTool. However, it wasnt smooth running the analysis. For the revit and sketchup, i had to recreate alot of the models, especially the windows. It was a ver long process however, i still encounter alot of problems. In the end through tut, i was able to resolve the situation.

Week 6 Both Days

ilyasjamil188 — 2024-12-08 15:19:27 UTC

We did individual work for our design brief, nothing much learned then applying what we did learned before

Week 7 Day 1 and 2

ilyasjamil188 — 2024-12-08 15:24:26 UTC

Working on my design brief. One interesting i learned was that the East Coast Food Village uses a digestive machinery system that would process the food waste collected in the place. It would then create two products. One being a biogas that can help generate electricity that would then power the fans and a charging station at the Food Village itself. The second product it create is fertilizer.

Week 8 Both Days

ilyasjamil188 — 2024-12-08 15:38:10 UTC

We started on our conceptual design, where we now create a building on revit and apply the solutions we wrote on your design brief. For now, we added inspired pictures for our solutions and did site boundary and analysis

Week 13 Day 1 and 2

ilyasjamil188 — 2025-02-07 15:05:24 UTC

Working on my concept design, i have further clarified my site boundary and the landscape design

I then provided mood pictures as ref to my solutions within the site boundary. Examples such as solar roof, bike lanes and even solar green roof.

Week 14 Day 1

ilyasjamil188 — 2025-02-07 15:06:52 UTC

We were briefed on the schematic design we are tasked to create. Which i then start doing some planning by adding markings for what i plan on adding to the A1 board.

Week 14 Day 2

ilyasjamil188 — 2025-02-07 15:09:17 UTC

Started on the easiest part of the project which was the thermal and daylighting simulations. For the daylighting and thermal i used revit to run the simulations. This would be the baseline simulation

Week 15 Day 1

ilyasjamil188 — 2025-02-07 15:27:40 UTC

I then continued with the facade design and the materials, i created louvers for the canteen and added a glass bipv triangular glass.

Week 15 Day 2

ilyasjamil188 — 2025-02-07 15:28:34 UTC

after adding all the new designs into the buildings, i ran the simulations again to get the new proposed results

Week 17 Day 1 and 2

ilyasjamil188 — 2025-02-07 15:29:38 UTC

We were briefed on the final submission of the detailed design. Currently im doing my lighting calculations

Concluding thoughts

ilyasjamil188 — 2025-02-07 15:31:54 UTC

The amount of projects and the workload given is a good form of practice for the real world to come. I believe that whatever we have been learning will be applicable for our future jobs or even our internshi, which all the more makes it very useful. For example the schematic design would be asked for every projects that we are tasked to do in thr workplace
