Context

Average rainfall: 14 inches Average snowfall: 32 inchesPrevailing winds: 7 mph SW Average date of first frost: Oct 10 Average date of last frost: May 1

Smaller surface to volume ratio (smaller surface area), which is directly exposed to sun reduces heatgain by the structure, hence large wall surfaces are necessary in colder climates to increrase heat gain.

SUSTAINABILITY

Green commumnit ies cr iter ia 2008

Definition of intentGoals-The intent is to design environment friendly housing based on theprinciples of sustainable design.

Objectives-The objective is to design: A set of structures that meet the requirements of specific sections of society.Structures that are easily replicableStructures that give the tenants a home and alsogivesthem a directconnect to the outside world.Structures that maximize the tenants views to the best elements of thesurrounding areas- the river in this case.

How this model is replicableThe very simplicity of the design is the foundation for replicability of this design.Simple rectangular organization of various functions allow this model to bebuilt in any other location. This replication, however, will require certain sitespecific adjustments to the overall scheme. Again the simple design makessuch adjustments easy.

Introduction/infill of a Green building in Historic context.Sustainable design is not a recent concept -its a recently lost one.The reason we make buildings today is much the same as the reason we havealways built-to make safe, healthy shelters that protect us from wind andrain, keep us warm when it s cold, and keep us cool and shaded when it’s hot.

Over long periods of time, by trial and error, people have evolved the tried andproven solutions that we call vernacular building- and these solutions allcontain elements of sustainable design.

Again over a period of time, with newer technologies and their blind applicationacross the globe without taking the regional context into account, the verysame elements of sustainable design have been diluted. We have, in our design of this building provided a judicious mix of new technology alongwith the time tested principles of sustainable design.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSThe program requirements for the Greenworks design competition includethe following:

•A site design for a residential compound of at least five (5) units, with apossible increase to six units, following all zoning, affordabiland design requirements outlined in this section.it’s, sustainability,

•A realistic line item cost breakdown that includes: 1) materials list andspecifications; 2) the estimated cost of building per/square foot; 3) a statementof cost benefit realized through the use of sustainable design,materials, and building methods

A Statement of Sources and Uses that illustrates achievement of theaffordability program required by the City of Santa Fe’s Santa Fe Homes Program.

(The project should result in at least two (2) homeownership units (2 bedroom),with sales prices ranging between $126,000 to $155,000, serving families or individuals earning from 65% of area median income (AMI) up to 80% of AMI, as defined by HUD.)

The statement should also identify possible sources of funding from state,federal and private sources, as well as available tax subsidy for green building.It should also account for incentives/fee waivers provided by the City of Santa Feapplicable to the affordably-priced units

•A narrative that serves as an outline for a future Green Development Plan. Itshould provide:1) A description of the process that was used to select the green buildingstrategies, systems and materials that will be incorporated into the project;2) A listing of the team members who participated in the integrated designprocess, including name, affiliation/company, discipline; and3) A definition of the intent, objectives and/or goals of the proposed designand how they are expected to be achieved.

The narrative may further address how the proposed design can serve as areplicable development model and a pilot project for Santa Fe’s Green Code. Itmay also describe the integration of green building with historic design andhow the proposed design demonstrates responsiveness to the neighborhoodcontext and incorporates community input.

Courtyard planning:Temperatures soars up to forty five degrees during thesweltering summer months and plummets down to twentytwo degrees during the chilly winter season, hencecourtyard planning is breather for the building.
