Aleksandra Lemieszka Paradise Regained Depression Aleksandra Lemieszka Paradise Regained Depression Aleksandra Lemieszka Year Final Project 12 PARADISE REGAINED Our mental health facility design aims to create modern-day Garden of Eden, providing healing and rejuvenation for individuals with ADHD, dementia, and depression. By tailoring environments to each group’s unique needs, we offer playful and energetic space for children with ADHD, nurturing environment for adults with depression, and peaceful setting for elderly individuals with dementia. Inspired by the Garden’s symbolism, our design fosters holistic healing, providing solace, guidance, and opportunities for growth. Our goal is to create a sanctuary where individuals can find support, engage in therapeutic activities, and embark on journey towards well-being. Project Summary Critical Thinking Critical thinking is essential in designing mental health facilities that address the needs of individuals with ADHD, dementia, and depression. By critically analyzing research, case studies, and expert opinions, designers gain insights into the challenges faced by each group and identify effective design interventions. Critical thinking enables the identification of potential issues and the development of innovative solutions, weighing the pros and cons of different approaches. Design choices are informed by critically evaluating research studies and evidence, ensuring they are grounded in empirical knowledge. User-centered design is facilitated by critical thinking, allowing designers to empathize with end-users and create spaces that cater to their well-being. Ethical considerations are navigated through critical thinking, evaluating the impact on diverse user groups and prioritizing privacy and comfort. By applying critical thinking skills throughout the design process, mental health facilities can effectively support the complex needs of individuals, promoting their well-being and recovery.

Shading during winter aims minimize heat loss and protect against cold winds while still allowing for sufficient natural light and warmth. contrast, summer shading focuses on blocking or reducing the intensity direct sunlight to prevent overheating and excessive solar gain indoor spa Direct sunlight during winter can contribute solar heat gain, which can be beneficial in colder climates. Buildings can be designed maximize solar heat gain during winter by positioning windows capture direct sunlight and absorb its heat. This can help reduce heating energy requirements. In winter, the duration of daylight is shorter, with fewer daylight hours compared to summer. This means there is generally less time for direct sunlight to illuminate and heat the surroundings during the winter months. The angle at which the sun's rays hit the Earth lower, resulting less intense direct sunlight. olar Intensity: The intensity of incident solar radiation varies between winter and summer due the angle at which the sun’s rays hit the Earth’s surface. winter, the sun lower angle, resulting longer path for the sunlight to travel through the atmosphere. This longer path leads to more scattering and absorption of solar radiation, resulting lower solar intensity compared to summer when the sun higher in the sky.

One residential unit was analyzed and iterated terms the window size and its arrgament. The difference in loads is not significant terms of the iteration and meaning the iteration with windows and windows Moreover when comes to iteration the Zone Sensible Cooling increased singiicatnly. When comes zone sensible haeting that one decreased in comparison tothe previous iterations. Moving on to iteration zone sensible heating didnt change but zone sensible cooling increased nearly twice up to 151.34 kW/m2. Finally iteration was conducted. In the final iterion Zone Sensible Cooling decreased very significantly however Zone Sensible Heating increased twice up 51.86 kW/m2.

The U-value those was equal to 0.158 and 0.102 W/m2-K. As the Further simulations will be coducted with the lower U-value which 0.102 W/ m2-K as the internal operative temprature is usually closer to CIBSE acceptibility comfort range then the option with U-value 0.158 W/m2-K. After changing Wall U-value three different Values were iterated. The highest Wall U-value gave the highest number of the hours out comfort which simultensously affect the internal temperature. The best option seems to be the one with the lowest U-values giving the lowest sensible Cooling & Heating well as least amount of comfort hours. conclusion, different shading options were tested. meaning different size overhangs and louvres. Generally, terms sdaptive comfort overhangs were the most effective gave the greatest amount hours within comfort range. However was noticed the internal temperature graphs temrpature within some rooms were worst therms thermal comfort then was before adding shading optiond Therfore the rooms that did not need the shading system was turned And based on the results aboe the total amount comfort hours increased however when comes zone sensible heating and cooling that aspect was improved significantly. Thus with option called ‘‘Shading adjestement’’ simulations were proceeded. 7602 6456. Final iteration was successful. ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES Futhermore amount changes hours investigated order check sufficient amount fresh air entering the room Moroever that was indicator mechanical ventilation needed within room. Secondly was investigated thermal wmass actually workd. Above you the internal temprature graphs which indicates that curve fluactuating much after applying thermal mass model. Moro ever slight thermal noticed which proves that this theory was successfull. ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES Internal Temperature - Iterations Air Changes Per Hour

Firstly Cop was iterated with eventual vhosen value 5. Moreover supply confitions were increased and heat recovery turned on. Then Air water heat pump were iterated terms of Cop. The reults improved. Then Ground source heat pump were iterated in terms of Cop. The reults improved. Based on the above analysis was decided that Air-to-Water heat pumps are the best solution. Eventually the final design meets the benchmarks. 60 no no N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 55 Air water Heat Pumps are the most effective system Due to the fact that Heat pumps dont use Gas as energy fuel seems that those are the most effective. On the other hand Air Water heat pumps are the most Carbon intensive. Cooled beams Doas Displacemetn ventialtion the most expensiv HVAC system. Air water heat pumps and Cooled beams+Air Cooled Chillers+Doas are comparably teh same price.

Knowing that the alumnium is oone of the most carbon intensive materials coud not be chosen.
