Michelle
Farrell, Architect | IES
Michelle Farrell is the Head of the European Division for Integrated
Environmental Solutions, Ltd. She attended Boston Architectural
College, where she received both a Bachelors of Design Studies
and Masters of Architecture. Michelle was named to the Consulting
Specifying Engineer 2011 "40 under 40" list, is a LEED Accredited
Professional, and has taught various courses in BIM and integrated
analysis. After working for over 6 years in various architecture
firms in the USA as an architectural designer, she began to
analyze the 3D building models using performance analysis tools.
Soon, the phrase "form follows function" became her mantra,
knowing that the sustainability performance of a building should
be considered and analyzed in detail from the earliest stages
of the design process by architects and designers.
Michelle has experience as a consultant in the USA and in Europe,
including LEED consulting, and working directly with some of
the top engineering and architecture firms in the USA and Europe
to develop solutions that can be part of their normal design
process, through the use of BIM models.
Her professional and educational background in architecture
allowed her to see the field of energy modeling from the perspective
of the architectural designer, encouraging the industry to use
modeling for schematic and design development to evolve the
performance of a design right from the earliest possible stage.
She worked on many projects, from daylight dimming strategies
for proto-type retail stores to software development projects
inside of IES to improve translation of 3D models into the analysis
platform.
IES, Ltd. is a world leader in precision, intelligent sustainability
solutions for every factor in making new and existing buildings
more energy efficient, dramatically reducing operating overheads,
and lowering CO2 emissions. Their consultative input is so innovative
and analytical software so accurate that they're significantly
reducing the carbon emissions of the built environment through
the work of their architecture and engineering clients, as well
as their own consulting services. www.iesve.com
Building Performance Analysis using Google SKETCHUP &
IES: BIM and Early Stage Analysis: These sessions provide
an overview on how architects and designers can bring analysis
for sustainable strategies to the earliest stages of the building
design process using an Integrated Building Performance Model
approach. Through the direct connectivity and import capabilities
offered by IES software to other CAD/BIM systems, such as SketchUp
and Revit, participants will experience how analysis can be
integrated into their workflow, keeping sustainable design on-track.
Attendees will be introduced to the process of analysing various
building parameters, like energy consumption, daylighting and
LEED assessments. |
