PAYETTE People at ABX, Part 2

This year we are very excited to lead several sessions this fall at ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX). Our discussions range from in-depth case studies to panel discussions.

Integrating Research in Practice
To meet the evolving challenges confronting architects today, practices need to delve deeper into finding technologies and solutions that affect the performance of our buildings and occupant experience. This presentation explores how PAYETTE implements research initiatives aimed at elevating the practice’s expertise by studying how buildings perform and how people use them. This session will focus on two research projects including our study of thermal bridging to calculations on thermal comfort around glazed openings.

Building St. Boniface: A Case Study
Imagine developing a hospital three hours from the nearest city, in an area with no power or water, and still aspiring to be a center of excellence for maternal and neonatal care. Through the lens of PAYETTE’s newly inaugurated St. Boniface Hospital in rural Fond des Blancs, Haiti, this session will examine the unique challenges of designing healthcare facilities in the developing world. (Dedicated to the memory of Sho-Ping Chin FAIA, PAYETTE colleague and member of the ArchitectureBoston editorial board.)

Planning and Verifying LEED Platinum
George Washington University, its architect and engineer will address the design interplay between programming and energy performance in the Milken School of Public Health’s new LEED Platinum building. They will present building occupant experience survey information and compare year 1 data from the building’s comprehensive metering system to that predicted through building modeling. Presenters will reflect on this data, the replicability of key design elements, and the value of the measurement and verification experience.
