New Academic Building Wilson Hall Proposal
Tempe, Arizona Rongting Oscar Jin
This project intends to be the post-pandemic academic building located at the existing Wilson Hall site at ASU Tempe Campus. While questioning myself about the essential meaning of building at the beginning of the design process, I wonder how this pandemic, which brought us to the internet and detached people from the community, would have changed the way we use and experience architecture. It is crucial to maximizing a post-pandemic academic building’s comfort by maximizing the fresh air, natural light, and green space inside an architecture. Simultaneously, it enhances the air movement between the indoor and outdoor spaces, and we have more open circulations and public shared space in this building. We can bring more natural elements coming into the architecture. It is also used as a passive design strategy that cools down space, encourages people to walk instead of using elevators, and brings people back together in a comfortable environment.

Central Air and Water System: Active Chilled beams Typical Application:
Major Components:
- Active chilled beam systems are well suited to spaces with moderate fresh air and dehumidification requirements, such as office buildings, schools, and residential hotels and dormitories. - They can also be a good choice for spaces with high demands for cooling.
- Boilers - Chimney - Chilled Water Plant - Cooling Tower - Fan Room - Outdoor Fresh Air - Exhaust Louvers - Vertical Supply and Return Ducts - Horizontal Supply and Return Ducts - Vertical Supply and Return Piping, - Horizonatl Supply and Return Piping - Chilled BeamUnits
Advantages: - Because the majority of the heat is transported as piped water, active chilled beam systems can operate more efficiently than comparable all-air systems, and the fans, ductwork, and other parts of the air-handling system may be as much as 70 percent smaller. - The absence of fans, other moving parts, and condensate drip pans in occupied spaces reduces maintenance costs and the risk of mold or bacterioa growth in these area.
Reason of Selection: - Minmize operating costs and energy consumption - Maximize control of air velocity and air quality - Minimize system size - Minimize visual obtrusiveness - Minimize floor space used for the heating and cooling systems - Minimize floor-to-floor height - Minimize system maintenance - Avoid having a chimney

Environment Analysis
- Phoenix - Zone 2B - Hot desert climates are typically found under the subtropical ridge in the lower middle latitudes, often between 20° and 33° north and south latitude. In these locations, stable descending air and high pressure aloft create hot, arid conditions with intense sunshine. Hot desert climates are generally hot, sunny and dry year-round.
Climate Zone
Dec.21, Winter Solstice 12:26 P.M. Soalr Noon 33.17 degree
- The orientation will infulence the thermal performance of the building and especially in Pheonix, it is important to minimize the solar heat gains.
Jun.22, Summer Solstice 12:30 P.M. Soalr Noon 80.02 degree
- It is important to minimize or eliminate the west-facing glazing to reduce the solar heat gain. - The flat roof in light color can help to reduce the solar heat gain. - Vertical circulation, utility room, and service room can be located on west and east side of the building to reduce the heat gain and to provide shaded area. - Using window overhang or shading structure to prevent summer light and maximize winter light is helpful. - The length of overhang and shading structure should be determined between the range of sun angles.

Wind Direction
- Climate responsive buildings in hot windy dry climate can use enclosed well shaded courtyards, with a foutain or mister or any kind of water feature, to provide wind-protected microclimate. - Good natural ventilation can reduce or eliminate air conditioning in warm weater. - Providing stack ventilation and maximizing the vertical height bettwen air inlet and outlet to increase the comfort and reduce cooling load as passive cooling strategy.
Wind Direction
- The comfort level of human body is in the temperature range from 68 to 78 Fahrenheit. Around 40 percent of the time in Phoenix, the temperature is above the comfort range. - The active and passive cooling system is necessary on this site. - Ceiling fans or indoor air movement can make it seem cooler by 5 Fahrenheit or more. - Rainwater harvesting systen might be used to reduce energy consumption. - Water storage tank might be installed to preserve energy and natural resource.
Temperature & Precipitation
- Providing enough north glazing to balance daylighting is important to reduce the lighting load of the building.

HVAC System
Central Air and Water System: Active Chilled beams
Typical Application: - Active chilled beam systems are well suited to spaces with moderate fresh air and dehumidification requirements, such as office buildings, schools, and residential hotels and dormitories. - They can also be a good choice for spaces with high demands for cooling.
Major Components: - Boilers - Chimney - Chilled Water Plant - Cooling Tower - Fan Room - Outdoor Fresh Air - Exhaust Louvers - Vertical Supply and Return Ducts - Horizontal Supply and Return Ducts - Vertical Supply and Return Piping, - Horizonatl Supply and Return Piping - Chilled BeamUnits
Advantages: - Because the majority of the heat is transported as piped water, active chilled beam systems can operate more efficiently than comparable all-air systems, and the fans, ductwork, and other parts of the air-handling system may be as much as 70 percent smaller. - The absence of fans, other moving parts, and condensate drip pans in occupied spaces reduces maintenance costs and the risk of mold or bacterioa growth in these area.
Reason of Selection: - Minmize operating costs and energy consumption - Maximize control of air velocity and air quality - Minimize system size - Minimize visual obtrusiveness - Minimize floor space used for the heating and cooling systems - Minimize floor-to-floor height - Minimize system maintenance - Avoid having a chimney

Passive Design Strategy
Cross Ventilation
Solar Shading
- Buildings can be ventilated and/or cooled by taking advantage of naturally occurring wind currents. - Window openings located perpendicular to prevailing winds, and coupled with openings on the opposite side of a space or building, will provide natural ventilation for fresh air and/or space cooling. Adequate cross ventilation will remove heat from a space or building.
- During warm summer months, overhangs block unwanted direct sunlighgt from solar glazing, reducing cooling loads. - Locate an overhand above solar glazing so it does not block the winter sun. - Exterior horizontal louvers can also be used to shade south glazing, Use the guidelines to size the louver projection as a fraction of the distance between louvers.
Cool Roof
Night Vent Cooling
- In hot climates, and climates with hot summers, a light colored roof reflects sunlight, remains cooler, offsets CO2 warming, and reduces the amount of heat transferred to the interior of a building. - In hot climates, cool roofs can help mitigate urban heat islands, reflect solar radiation back to space, and keep indoor spaces comfortable. - Cool roofs have surfaces that reflect sunlight and emit or discharge heat efficiently, keeping them cooler on sunny days.
- Thermal mass absorbs heat and provides cool indoor surfaces and temperatures the following day. The more surface area of mass in a space, the more stable the indoor temperature. - In dry climates with a diurnal temperature difference of 22F or more, and where summer nighttime temperatures fall at least 11F below the desired indoor daytime temperature, use cool night air to flush heat from a space and cool interior thermal mass. A space will then remain cool during the daytime without the use of off-site energy sources.
Stack Ventilation
Daylight Balance
- Openings located low and high, and on opposite sides of a space, create a ‘stack effect’ - warm indoor air rising out through high openings, drawing in cooler outdoor air through low openings. - Using the air’s buoyancy resulting from a difference in its temperature climates with a minimum 3F difference between indoor and outdoor temperature - the stack effect in a space, or within a ventilation shaft, will induce an air current that removes hot air from a space or building.
- Daylighting spaces from multiple sides provides more even lighting and produces less glare around people and objects. - Spaces daylit from one side may contain excessive spatial differences in brightness, high brightness areas behind objects in he field pf vision, and uncomfortable glare conditions. The light gradient from wall glazing to the interior of a space is steep, so the area furthest from the glazing may appear uncomfortably dark.
