The NASA sustainability base is an important project made to NASA that is under construction in Monffett Field, California. With this project, NASA want the LEED Platinum™ sustainability design certification and an approach to net-zero consumption. To make a sustainable project, Willian's company use a lot of autodesk program, one of them is my object of study: Revit.
A Challenge
To acquire the LEED Platinum™, this project needed a numerous of eco-friendly features, such as geothermal wells, natural ventilation, high-performance wastewater treatment, and a photovoltaic roof, which will provide 30 percent of the building’s power.
Another challenge to the architects was an structural exoskeleton. The exoskeleton offers increased structural performance during seismic events, provides an armature for daylighting and shading strategies, and creates a column-free interior that facilitates workplace flexibility, creating a free interior.
The software sollution
To make this project, Willian McDonough make the initial model and perform preliminary structural and mechanical studies using Revit Architecture. With this fist model, they passed it to AECOM, enabling the engineers to move forward, while they continued the design work on the exterior skin ( AECOM uses Revit Structure, to link with McDonough project).
During the construction, they used Navisworks Manage Software to detect futher clashs. "Our mechanical, electrical, and plumbing; fire protection; and sprinkler system subcontractors created models using AutoCAD MEP and other CAD tools," says Daniel Gonzales, LEED AP, corporate manager of virtual design and construction at Swinerton Builders. "Twice a month, we imported all of these models into Navisworks Manage and performed clash detection, using the Revit Architecture model as background."
