In November 2007, the Boston Society of Architects' Building Enclosure Council awarded the First Annual Building Enclosure Design Award to 60 Oxford Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The first building in Harvard University's North Yard Lab Campus, is a high security office and computer lab that houses University Information Systems and the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Harvard University, Perry Dean Rogers | Partners Architects, and Lee Kennedy Company, Inc. designed and constructed a building enclosure that not only effectively manages heat, air, moisture and daylight, but includes a series of innovations that illustrates the craft, science, and engineering of high performance building enclosures. LEED Certified.

Learning Objectives:
  • Examine the architectural expression and process of energy and daylight modeling.
  • Discuss the benefits of building enclosure commissioning from design through construction.
  • Obtain a better understanding of sustainable design strategies in the design of high performance building enclosures.
