high school of environmental sciences (hses)
Sustainable educational facility design / research project
Site _ Boston, MA, USA
This High School of Environmental Sciences (HSES) is a project carefully designed based on the in-depth research on sustainability in a holistic approach, embracing building energy performance, daylighting, ventilation, waste, water, site selection and etc.
Design of the building was driven by the data mostly analyzed from Climate Consultant, Sefaira and other passive sustainable strategies.
The goal is not to minimize the overall energy consumption within the building, but also to provide better quality educational environment to students by suggesting a space where they can experience the nature more directly.
