How Outcome-Based Design Can Lead to More-Sustainable Projects

Sustainability is emerging as the main value driver of the future of building. Reducing a building's carbon footprint decreases its running costs, improves the workforce's sense of purpose, and raises property value. Buildings become also socially, economically, and environmentally responsible. In turn, they become more profitable, and are healthier places to live and work. In this class, we’ll focus on an outcome-based design workflow from schematic design in Spacemaker to design development in Revit and Insight software. The discussion is centered on concrete milestones and frameworks connected to sustainable KPIs in early phase development. We’ll explore a small mixed-use plot in central London with views of the River Thames and HMS Belfast.
