Randomized trial develops a simulation-driven design for Bundanon Art Museum, highlighting sustainability benefits.
Key Points
This research aims to create a resilient, tailored design for the Bundanon Art Museum and Bridge to address climate vulnerabilities.
Developed an integrated optimization framework with four modules: passive systems, active systems, embodied carbon reduction, and renewable integration.
Simulated and optimized design features for climate resilience in a remote site vulnerable to bushfire and flooding.
Evaluated performance metrics like daylight autonomy and heating demand reductions.
Increased spatial daylight autonomy from 20% to 77.5%.
Raised adaptive thermal comfort from 46% to 82%.
Reduced heating demand by nearly 80% and embodied carbon by 38%, with a 620 kW PV system meeting 79% of the annual load.
