Project FROG came to Loisos + Ubbelohde with a deceptively straightforward research question: how do we take our prefabricated classroom characterized by quick construction, lower costs, high quality control and basic green performance and achieve zero net-energy, zero-net carbon emissions and high quality interior space efficiently and appropriately for any given site and climate. This research is conceived as broadly open-ended for product development applicable to many locations, but also informed by ongoing specific project opportunities for defined sites and clients. As we develop more detailed and sophisticated methodologies for identifying the optimal configuration, envelope design and mechanical system, we work iteratively with the product development team to ensure that all design options we identify are realistic from a manufacturing and cost standpoint.
