Work Samples of Class ARCH-507 and ARCH-615:Villa Mairea
Villa Mairea is a guest-house and rural retreat built by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto for Harry and Maire Gullichsen in Noormarkku, Finland. In this project, I made a model of Villa Mairea by Revit Architecture, studying how BIM works, how Revit coordinate with other BIM software, and running energy simulation in diferent software.
I took the class ARCH-615 which is focusing on energy software and energy calculation. I used HEED, BEopt, EnergyPro, eQuest, EnergyPlus and Green Building Studio, to analysis the energy efficient and simulate the energy performance of Villa Mairea which is designed by Alvar Aalto; comparing these tools on many different criteria: accuracy, ease of use, availability of necessary information and other standards.
