SeaO2 Ecological Housing Project |
Over the years, architects feel that designing a building is getting increasingly difficult. One of the reasons is because of global warming. Buildings leave a huge eco-footprint because not many buildings use the natural sunlight, wind or land for providing energy. Instead, they use electricity for heating and lighting. This new cutting edge computer software will help make the buildings more energy efficient such as maximizing solar power, wind currents and space allocation. For example, an experimental housing project, SeaO2, is using this new cutting edge technology to make the most of the natural resources, leaving the least amount of ecological carbon footprint on the environment. The outcome of this experimental housing project is that it will be able to create heating in the wintertime from solar reception, be able to generate electricity from solar reception, retrieve fresh air to the building, and to use many more of the natural resources.

The impact it has on the workflow is that it makes it easier for architects because they don’t have to worry about the eco-footprint that the building would leave on the environment and the amount of space the building will take up. This software has already been used in aerospace industry and is now being used for buildings to make it more sustainable.
