Simulated and Measured Environments for Design Education

During this virtual Open Data Week event, architecture educators and a librarian provide information about building performance and simulation, which calls on open data sources that students analyze to inform their design decisions. This event offers insights into educational modules introducing undergraduate students to measuring environmental conditions and relevant open data projects to assess climatic challenges alongside building performance projections. Attend this event for a deep dive into design thinking to improve built environments that require less energy to build and operate.

Professionals are increasingly interpreting climatic conditions from original and publicly available data at all phases of design and construction. This event is intended to help architecture students learn to observe and interpret measured and simulated building performance, interpret local code, laws, and guidelines (i.e., Local Law 33; 97), and measure indoor/exterior environments. These practices develop students’ sensitivity to design decisions and adaptive solutions.
