Passive Mountaintop Sauna
Utilized thermal mass and solar heat gain and a creative geometric design, alongside strategic material selections and a customizable, insulated window system, to engineer a naturally heated sauna atop a Colorado mountain. Even on a chilly December day with an external temperature of 30°F, the interior maintains a comfortable and dry environment, boasting floor temperatures of 90°F and air temperatures of 80°F all with no mechanical systems.

Design and Analysis of a Mid-Rise Apartment Building
Iterative modeling and design for efficiency, analyzing energy and daylighting performance of different modular options. Final design was chosen based on preliminary energy simulation done in Sefaira. The building was then analyzed and manipulated with OpenStudio and Energy+ in order to reduce the EUI and get an accurate idea of the energy use, daylighting, and internal systems in the project.

Revit Analysis of LoveSchack Bozeman House
Revit Analysis of LoveSchack Bozeman House
Having energy modeling and analysis experience in OpenStudio and EnergyPlus, I was interested in learning the capabilites in Revit as well. I used this LoveSchack Bozeman house as an example to test the analysis capabilites of the software. This self-directed project allowed me to compare functionality across different modeling platforms while also learning more about Revit.
