Two credits Criterion 1. Thermal modelling has been carried out aimed at optimising thermal comfort. Thermal modelling has been carried out to optimise thermal comfort in the building (Hea10.v01, chapter 4 and 5).Criterion 2. The modelling is used to guide the following design decisions (that influence thermal comfort levels);a. Basic building form and orientation b. Internal layout c. Exploiting the effect of trees and building overshading on solar heat gain and shielding effects on transmission losses d. Balancing the maximization of daylight for reduced lighting energy use against increased cooling loads and thermal comfort levels e. Checking for overheating risk.Being a refurbishment project, the modelling has not been able to influence the form and orientation of the building, however the placement of the rooms has been designed to maximize daylight, minimize heat loss and optimize thermal comfort (Hea10.v01 page 18).
