CH2MHILL Business Development Competition 2012 Team members; Dianna Senior, Darrell Yong, Carolyn Lee, Laura Seaman, Flor Garcia-Becerra, Viktor Kuslikis

The project was part of a two-stage business development competition for the design of a 2MGD (million gallons per day) wastewater treatment facility. A caveat in the proposal was that the facility treats the effluent water to primary drinking standards for irrigation. The design must also successfully integrate into the surrounding community by addressing odor, traffic, safety, and aesthetic issues. Working alongside five engineers, and drawing expertise from an extensive array of professionals in our office, we developed a solution that utilized a 6-stage process that would clean the water and remove odor and taste. My role on the team was to develop the architectural and structural design concept for the facility, as well as being responsible for the graphics. Out of 15 teams, a jury comprised of senior staff and external clients selected our proposal as the winning entry.

The design concept for the facility utilized several green building principles: - Dedicated sustainability center to educate the community about clean water and the environment - Limiting extensive glazing to north facing faรงades to mitigate heat gain and utilize day lighting - 34kW Photovoltaic array on sustainability center - Passive chilled beams to take advantage of plant effluent water to cool the buildings - Ample recreation space and amities for public use

CH2MHILL Technology Innovation Grant 2011 BIM and Energy Simulations

This project was part of an internal research grant aimed at promoting and encouraging innovation among young professionals. The goal of the project was to see what steps are involved in translating design data from the native CAD model to the analysis platform. Utilizing BIM models in environmental simulations can help architects and engineers deliver a better building by supporting energy performance decisions at various stages of the design process. Predicting the energy performance of a building is the result of a complex set of interrelationships that requires the input of hundreds of factors, many of which are unavailable at the early design stage. As the design evolves, the number of unknowns decreases. Hence, it is important that any simulation process is flexible to allow the input of new variables throughout the process. Utilizing the native building model ensures that the design information used in the simulation is accurate and reliable. Conversely, having someone update a separate model at every major design change creates unnecessary rework and can result in the use of outdated or erroneous information. The project was successful in proving that is possible to translate design information between the analysis and modeling platforms, but also demonstrated the potential for the technology to be a powerful design tool. In addition to introducing the technology and outlining what is involved, the project also illustrated how architects can use the software to support conceptual design decisions. For the demonstration, we designed a hypothetical office building located in Toronto that includes a double height open office space, a conference space, an area for individual offices, and a stair enclosure. Tables 1-3 illustrate the standard wall assemblies, internal gains, and room conditions that we used for the thermal simulations. The goal was to illustrate how simulation software could help architects balance natural light and energy consumption in designing the south faรงade of the structure. With the hypothesis, that thermal and lighting simulations would help the user understand how changing the sizes and locations of fenestrations affect the performance and livability of the building, would lead to the most optimal configuration.

Memorial Pump House 2011 Brent Mauti (Architect/ QC Reviewer) Viktor Kuslikis (Architectural Design Lead)

The project is a small building to enclose a generator, but since it is a post disaster structure the quality of construction is very high. I was involved with this project from the design development through to the construction administration phase. It was significant for me because it was the first project where I was the architectural design lead, responsible for all aspects of the construction documents, including the design and production of drawings and specifications.

The scope of work was to conduct various engineering studies for the city of Barrie regarding the need for a new Administration building. My responsibilities were to identify the spatial and functional requirements of the different departments to be housed within the building, identify the functional relationships using traditional space planning and analysis diagrams, and produce preliminary space organization diagrams. In addition to the above scope, I was responsible for figuring out the approximate footprint of the building. A senior project manager and myself facilitated a workshop where we presented the diagrams and site layout options to staff from the Cities engineering and maintenance department.

As part of the 2011 Toronto Doors Open festivities, CH2MHILL created an illustration to explain the basic concept of how the R.C Harris Water Treatment plant works. To produce the rendering I had to model the buildings based on record drawings and site visits with input from senior engineers that were involved with the newly built Residue Management Facility. The city displayed full size prints of the diagram at the plant to explain the treatment process to visitors. The success of the diagram that weekend has prompted the city to print and frame the poster for permanent display in the plant.

Parametric Solar Architecture (M.Arch Thesis) 2010The project looked at how architects can leverage technology, in respect to digital tools, to improve the urban integration of photovoltaic systems. The aim of the project was to develop a new design methodology by combining parametric and environmental analysis tools, to provide quantitative performance indicators in order to assist architects at the early design stage. Since the best surface geometry in regards to solar exposure changes hourly, daily, and monthly, there is no perfect fixed solution. Allowing the individual modules to reposition themselves independently of the overall architectural massing is a good design compromise between maintaining the fixed orientation of the envelope while maximizing incident radiation. This parametric tracking system works by orientating the surface normal of each panel to the desired solar altitude or azimuth angle. With the optimal solar reference point in place, the program knows in which direction to orientate the panel. If the user changes the solar reference point, the panel repositions itself accordingly, irrespective of surface geometry.
