What is this graphic showing? Describe the different parts of the graphic and how it communicates the data.
The graphic is a design process of a student center with about 2100 occupants in a university. There are three main design levels: analyzing climate and passive strategies opportunities, schematic design, and detail design. In each level nine alternatives have been simulated and analyzed and the results in several aspects are compared. the best options are selected and the final results are reported based on INBR(Iran National Building Regulation), LEED, Energy Star, and RET screen.
