The University of Sydney School of Civil Engineering Civil 3811 – Tutorial Questions – Week 10 Consider the ABS building (Figure 1) at the University of Sydney and the Tyree Building (Figure 2) at the UNSW Sydney, respectively. We are interested in studying the available internal and external elements that can contribute to passive and active systems. Some of the key elements in the primary design are the shape and geometry of the building, the direction of the wind and the sun, the allocated sizes of the windows, the shape of the façade, and the shape of the indoor spiral stairs. 1) Discuss the possible contribution of the indicated key design elements on the natural ventilation of both buildings. 2) Discuss any energy efficiency techniques used in the design of the ABS and Tyree buildings. You can use the library resources and google maps/images or other Online resources. Figure 1.
