Street Congestion Paved Bike Path Public Transit CSU Fort Collins Campus Residential Commercial
Fort Collins is located in a temperate climate, with hot summers and cold winters. Based on passive design strategies, the project should utilize thermal mass + night vent, capture internal heat gain, and use passive solar heating to increase the amount of hours in a year spent in the comfort zone to 57%. Using climate information, it is apparent the design team considered surface to volume ratios with the square form to ensure minimal heat was lost through the envelope.
