As office buildings\u00a0has different types of requirements, the project was initiated by making assumption regarding diverse functions of an office environment. Therefore, this model aims for designing an office for 100 people.\u00a0Regarding the recommended types\u00a0spaces (Conference room, pantries, large meeting rooms etc.) for an ideal office environment total area of 1485 m2 is calculated which corresponds to 14.85<\/strong>m2\/person [6].<\/p>\n The model had been evaluated with respect to two high-performance criteria: Optimum Total energy consumption by Window-to-wall ratio (WWR) and sufficient acoustic comfort by Sound Transmission Loss (STL).<\/p>\n Fig.2:<\/strong>\u00a0HPC Equations.<\/p>\n Fig.3:<\/strong>\u00a0Oslo\u00a0<\/i>Dfb<\/i>: ETOT(WWR)\u00a0 for different SA:V values -North Orientation (<\/i>Goia<\/i>, 2016)<\/i><\/p>\n Regarding the restrictions Aside from detailed parameters concerning building materials etc., mainly the controlled parameters are total building height, length, width, concrete side walls<\/em><\/strong> (parapet), and as the\u00a0Water Flow Glazing Fa\u00e7ade Systems<\/a>\u00a0technology had been chosen for the fa\u00e7ade, its’ aluminum circulator height<\/em><\/strong> is considered as a controlled parameter.<\/p>\n The design challenge was to obtain the compactness of the building (SA\/V) in between 0.30-0.20 (Fig. 3, dotted lines), WWR in between 0.8-0.9 and minimum 40 dB STL. As these criteria are conflincting in term of geometrical aspects, it created a significant design challange. By increasing the circulator height(Fig. 4), the surface area of aluminum(40 dB STL) on the fa\u00e7ade increases which results in\u00a0 higher STL, however as the opaque area increases the WWR ratio decreases significantly below the optimum level. On the contrary,if only WWR ratio in the north fa\u00e7ade (WFG system) decreases the side walls needs to be higher to comply with the STL criteria which results very less amount of light as the span x increases. Therefore, decreasing span x, increasing the heigth of side walls and increasing the glazing area in the north WFG fa\u00e7ade is found to be the best strategy to compete the design challange.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To integrate every subsystem on the main model, the building, some preliminary work needs to be conducted. Evocatively, this integration is a process of building block. Therefore, ports are required to have all subsystem toggled. Since subsystem are exterior, we come up with the scheme below.![\"hpc_taab\"](\"http:\/\/141.23.68.248\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hpc_taab.png\")
