• Critically reflect on the range of net zero carbon design strategies and consideration of the influences of climate, form, orientation and building materials.
• Articulate design and research proposals that indicate effective environmental design strategies enabling the achievement of net zero carbon buildings.
• Develop, refine and test your design and research at all stages to demonstrate experimentation that’s informed by critical feedback and discussion.
• Prepare a project presentation that is edited and organised so that it can be evaluated in terms of range, depth, creativity and originality as well as standards of accuracy and skills of execution
