LOW ENERGY BUILDING DESIGN

Philip's commitment to sustainability goes beyond LEED Accreditation. As a

member of Perkins + Will's Sustainable Design Initiative team, he was a strong

advocate for the use of energy and daylight modeling in the design process.

Self-trained in EnergyPlus (DOE's energy simulation software) and DialLux (professional

lighting design software), Philip demonstrated how architects could use modeling

software to design net-zero energy buildings using the following strategies:

building orientation, solar shading, daylighting, envelope materials, insulation,

and power generation.
