Architectural Design Metrics

The document outlines various design parameters for a high-rise building with metrics for evaluating options. Key parameters include: minimizing artificial heating/lighting and maximizing natural daylight/ventilation; metrics for air conditioning usage, fresh air supply, and air movement; metrics for energy efficiency and maximizing views/transparency; and metrics for structural elements like number of floors/cores, weight, and efficiency. The document seeks to optimize the building design across these various environmental, functional, and structural factors.
