This Homework aims to combine theoretical knowledge with practical and innovative design of green buildingsystems.Home work: Designing a green building system focused on net zero energy. Two components are required for this Homework: A) comprehensive research and B) A Design Proposal   B) Design Proposal: 1 overview: such as objectives, scope, and expected outcomes...2) Site and context analysis: Note your peers in the class have very limited ideas about your project locationand others, so using this section, your peers can understand better about your project and design.3) Design concept: e.g., description of the design concept, including how it addresses your goals andincorporates sustainable practices and technologies, etc. for a green building system.4) Your detailed design: You will decide the titles and sections for your detailed design. Including the greenbuilding rating system you used is preferred. The detailed design could include your strategies, technologies,implementation plan, any other parts showing your design, and even visuals and supporting documents ifpossible. We did several ‘in-class’ practices throughout this course; this section is an expanded practice ofthat which is more comprehensive. Furthermore, cost analysis and assessment can also be included, such asthe metrics we calculated in the classes.5) Conclusion: Summary of the design proposal and its contribution to sustainable development and greenbuilding practices.References section for the design proposal part above. The reference sections are required, and each reference needs to be clearly cited in the text.

This Homework aims to combine theoretical knowledge with practical and innovative design of green building
systems.
Home work: Designing a green building system focused on net zero energy.

Two components are required for this Homework:

1. A) comprehensive research and
2. B) A Design Proposal

B) Design Proposal:

1 overview: such as objectives, scope, and expected outcomes...
2) Site and context analysis: Note your peers in the class have very limited ideas about your project location
and others, so using this section, your peers can understand better about your project and design.
3) Design concept: e.g., description of the design concept, including how it addresses your goals and
incorporates sustainable practices and technologies, etc. for a green building system.
4) Your detailed design: You will decide the titles and sections for your detailed design. Including the green
building rating system you used is preferred. The detailed design could include your strategies, technologies,
implementation plan, any other parts showing your design, and even visuals and supporting documents if
possible. We did several ‘in-class’ practices throughout this course; this section is an expanded practice of
that which is more comprehensive. Furthermore, cost analysis and assessment can also be included, such as
the metrics we calculated in the classes.
5) Conclusion: Summary of the design proposal and its contribution to sustainable development and green
building practices.
References section for the design proposal part above.
 The reference sections are required, and each reference needs to be clearly cited in the text.
