Computational Building Performance Simulations

Existing Case

The possibility of implementing Split Graduation central heating and cooling system for Heijmans ONE mobile temporary Tiny House cluster was analyzed. Comfort and life-cycle costs were chosen as the indicators. TRNSYS was used to model 10 unit Heijmans ONE cluster in Existing Case April 2016 July 2015 (Electric Under Floor Heating (01)) and Investigated Case (Central Air Source Heat Pump partially powered by a Photovoltaic system and an Air Handling Unit for heating and cooling within the units (02)). Indicators showed that Investigated Case provides better comfort as the Existing Case has no cooling capability. Regarding life-cycle costs, central heating and cooling pays off after 9 years.

Energy Neutral Hoofdgebouw Renovation Renovation of old stock buildings into energy neutral buildings require interdisciplinary approach. As a result the aim of the masterproject was to work in a team of architecture, structural engineering and building physics students and deliver an Integrated Design proposal for Hoofdgebouw renovation into an energy neutral building. Hoofdgebouw building was in dire condition and required renovation. Proposal for renovating it into an Energy Neutral building was drafted. For energy saving measures the proposed design incorporates BIPV, light ducts, atriums, PV blinds, airto-air heat exchanger with bypass for natural ventilation, STES in the aquifer, local HVAC controls. The building also incorporates a number of architectural features, which increase the comfort levels of indoor spaces: atriums with gardens, open space offices, natural daylight, localised routing via staircases.

Happy House Masterproject Beyond Lodging had an assignment to redesign four empty office buildings in Eindhoven. The HEMA building, the ABN AMRO building, the Hertoghof and the TDBuilding. These buildings have been redeveloped into studentcomplexes, which go beyond the standard lodging units. Happy House was the name given to a redeveloped TD-Building. Lack of affordable housing has been an issue in the Netherlands for a long time. Part of the solution is empty office conversion into residential buildings. TD-Building reconstruction into mixed use residential building was proposed. Dormitory, hostel, fraternity, automated supermarket were incorporated into the design. To allow students to create cosy environment the outdoor corridors have been designed to be as wide as possible.

Vertigo Workshop Extension The Architectural Engineering course assignment was to design a temporary extension for TU/e Vertigo building’s workshop. Lack of space in Vertigo workshop occurs during peak project deadline times of the academic year and creates a need for temporary workshop extension. The extension was designed in an existing access ramp pit (18), which leads into Vertigo building’s basement. This allowed to reuse existing access routes and infrastructure. The roof of the extension forms seating-stairs (45), which create playful environment and add value to the TU Eindhoven university campus. The workshop extension also has level access to the storage facilities and elevators for easy scale model transportation around the building.

Concrete Canvas Tiny Houses Concrete Canvas Tiny Houses (CCTH) offer a Digitally Manufactured Pneumatically Rigidised alternative to current staple of large scale digital manufacturing: Additive Layer Manufacturing and CNC Machining. Concrete Canvas is used as the main construction material for these buildings. The advantage of this material is that it is flexible. This feature is used to produce CCTHs off-site, fold them, transport them to the deployment site, inflate and harden them – have the structure up and standing in 24 hours.

NRE Terrein was selected as the site for CCTH deployment in Eindhoven. The site is strategically located within the city and provide convenient access to various pointsof-interests for potential resident demographics. All types of CCTHs (22) were placed there (43) together with outdoor furniture, vegetation and storage facilities (23).

For deployment in NRE Terrein it was decided to leave the original CCTH surface texture intact. NRE Terrein is an old industrial site, hence industrial looking materials blend in well in this area. For deployment in other sites Concrete Canvas can be painted with ordinary masonry paint to achieve the desired aesthetics.

Brainport Pavilion The task at hand was to develop a pavilion that would suit far reaching Brainport expectations. Modularity was chosen as the base of the design. This choice opens possibilities to connect single self sustaining units into bigger structures that comply with the needs for the big and for the small. The chosen approach reflects Brainport collaborative nature. The outer membrane protects the inner space from the weather and displays visual installations on its e-ink covered surface. The inner membrane married with flexible OLED screens and touch sensitive surfaces introduce visitors to technological experience that is being made possible by Brainport community innovations.

VGTU Science and Study Center The program of the building was split between the largest area dedicated to the conference hall and the laboratory wing. As a result the building consists of two distinct parts: the dome and the U shaped outer layer. The architectural concept of the facade of the U shaped laboratory wing draws inspiration from the surrounding functional style buildings. The dome serves a discrete function of a conference hall. As such it is visually separated from the rest of the building. The dome was to be constructed using an inflatable membrane and reinforced shotcrete applied on the inside surface of the membrane. The laboratory wing was to be constructed from prefabricated concrete elements. Additional information can be found via the following URL: flic.kr/s/aHsjmTZcYx

Apartment Building The program of the assignment was to design a 4 story apartment building with commercial space in the ground floor. In order to limit the built up area of the site it was decided to elevate the apartment blocks above ground. This was also the main reason for placing the parking in the underground. Trapeze shaped floorplan layout was selected due to it optimally fitting into the site. Roof terrace above the shop was created for the residents of the building.

Detached House To emphasize connection with nature the house was designed as a cone pushed into the ground. The cone was set at an angle, so that the resulting shape portrays the dynamics of natural phenomena. The part, which is sticking out of the ground is what defines the shape of the house. It incorporates passive house measures into the design with thick walls and the roof oriented towards the South to increase PV electricity generation.

Electronics Manufacturing Working in a manufacturing environment allowed to see the possibilities for automation in construction industry. Besides actual construction methods this also applies to BIM. There seems to be a lot of possibilities for optimization, which can streamline design processes and save a lot of valuable time. A lot can be learnt from gaining experience in industry sectors, which are outside of ones scope – stepping out of the comfort zone opens ones eyes to the potential of automation.
