A few excerpts from my most recent read, ‘Thermally Active Surfaces in Architecture’ by Kiel Moe. I found it extremely insightful and haven’t yet read anything like it!

// The thermal system is decoupled from its ventilation system My first time doing a post-occupancy survey. It was so fulfilling and informative! 

I’ve used this space for 7 years and I learned more about it in the past two weeks than I ever did before!

Wind Analysis of Philadelphia (1/3)
Analysis of wind direction and velocity with limits to eliminate low wind zones.

Universal Thermal Climate Index Analysis of Paine’s Park, Philadelphia.

ANALYSIS:

The site is a skate park and it has elements far apart from each other. This enables the wind to scoop down at various places t Building Performance Simulation 
Identifying Thermal Energy Loss on buildings inside Penn’s Campus during the heating season, based on intuition, using an infrared (IR) camera
