My training at UPenn enables me to find the precise sustainable design strategy for all kinds of buildings. My specialty is identifying and proving their effectiveness with thermal comfort, daylight modeling and simulations for acoustic and natural ventilation. Based on my mastery of 3D modeling and language skills (Mandarin, English), I am capable of working with design teams at all phases and communicating with foreign clients.

Psychrometric Chart suggests that majority of hours are out of outdoor comfort zone. In order to bring the uncomfortable hours into the comfort zone, enough cooling strategy need to be applied to drop temperature around 5°C.

Most of the festivals are held during February to May when there are more comfort hours in shaded condition. To keep the celebrating atmosphere of New Orleans all year around, providing comfortable outdoor space for summertimes festival events would be critical.
