Member Award for James E. Simon Fund, School of Architecture, College of Fine and Applied Art, UIUC
TITLE: Advanced stud system design and installation
The project aims to support the ongoing wind pavilion project, which is intended to provide both shelter and generate electricity. The goal of this specific project is to design and construct the supporting structure for the pavilion.
This project utilizes advanced computational design tools to design and build a complex structure with CNC roll-formed steel studs. In collaboration with STUD-IO (https://studio-construction.com/), the project will manufacture a customized stud system to structurally support the wind pavilion.
Computation tools will be used to analyze each angle of the pavilion panels and find the custom size of structural studs. This customized design will be passed to a CNC roll-forming machine to manufacture each stud.

TITLE: Developing a dynamic shading system and evaluating its performance through advanced daylight modeling
The research involves investigating the temperature responsiveness of Nitinol coil springs and developing a method to incorporate them into commercially available window blinds through a responsive shading system. This system will allow the blinds to spontaneously rotate open at higher temperatures and return to their initial position when the temperature decreases, with the aim of improving indoor daylight levels for occupant health and wellbeing.

Energy Models for Campus Facilities
As the iCAP 2020 says, “Using information gathered from capital projects, faculty members and researchers can collaborate with F&S to develop a reference database of calibrated energy models for campus buildings. This might be the product of student classroom projects. The campus could then use these models to prioritize building retrofits and determine the preferred level of improvements (i.e., envelope versus mechanicals) for each building.” (Page 41).
There are energy models provided to Facilities & Services during the regular Capital Programs process, and there are students and researchers who work with energy models and create energy models. In 2021, the Energy iCAP Team recommended that F&S and Professor Yun Yi in the School of Architecture work together to create additional energy models for campus buildings.
