“3D model under construction”: Where did all those new shapes come from? You might loose some of the image power that you had with just the “worm” (with perhaps an orthogonal base).
Nice solar diagram. You will notice that during spring (March 21 when it is cold) your overhangs are so deep that they exclude the sun when it might be used.
Sounds like an effective geothermal AC system – and ceiling fans makes it all more effective also – see also my comments on Matthew’s system.
Those are amazing climate maps – at first I thought you had simulated the temperatures inside your space! It would be useful to analyze/simulate your cross section and use color to display temperature. Air does not “expand” that much – it flows – inlets should roughly equal outlets – hot outlets could in theory be slightly larger (temp/press/volume relationship).
Foiltec is it fire resistant? (You may have answered this before?)

Gerry, Thank you so much for the many essential advices.
I will cover these issues. actually that what i am doing right now. I am fighting the clock arms here.

The south facade provide the building with main envirnomental energy resources to acheive most natural climate control and sustainable energy.The north building mass (slinky) uses translucent insulation material ETFT, permits The Ideal combination of light and temprature for intermediate zone.
yes ETFT fire resistant I have provided data showing that last week. as a part of my code analysis long observing and struggling.

The south Mass has solar heat capture system on the south side powered by solar energy, which also used to power the ventilation in the classrooms, dorms and Studio spaces.
Radiating Suspended ceiling that includes phase change material that can store heat at off-peak rates, and ceiling fans that raise comfort range by a couple of degrees in summer. cool air is produced by a combination of 80% conventioal sources using heat pump and 20% solar energy using an absorber cooler pwered by 100 meter square of vacuum solar panelsset on the sungarden tower on top of the lobby with BAC logo.

I am doing the Diagrams showing all that, While the slinky views render the mashine is veryyyyy slow.
