Payette Principal and Director of Building Science Andrea Love is a keynote speaker at this year’s Symposium on Simulation for Architecture + Urban Design on June 4 – 7, 2018 at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. The 9th annual SimAUD conference creates an interdisciplinary platform of researches and practitiners in the fields of architecture, urban design, urban planning, building science, visualization and simulation. SimAUD offers the opportunity to present innovative simulation methods and techniques and to discuss their roles in bridging disciplinary gaps in urban planning, architecture, engineering, construction, and management.
The Fusion of Design and Performance: Integrating Building Science into Architectural Practice
The lecture will focus on an organizational case study on the integration building science into its design process. The talk will show how the integration of building simulation into the design process has been leveraged to inform and drive architectural design, transforming our firm culture and building an energy literacy within the organization.

Northeastern EXP features an organic pinwheel design, shaping research and classroom neighborhoods with shared community spaces radiating from the core to define each area. The building façade was tuned to achieve a 78% reduction in peak solar heat gain and a 62% reduction in cumulative solar radiation leading to energy use reductions and reduced mechanical system sizing. The use of stainless steel further leads to an embodied carbon reduction of almost one million tons when compared to aluminum while the natural stainless surface reflects light in a natural and warm tone giving the building an inherent energy.
