Project Award March 2012

Passive Design clerestory windows

and shading devices

Optimize Design reduce loads insulate well

daylight reduce infiltration

address thermal breaks passive cooling

WALL

Exterior Wall 4 inch insulated wall panel over Snap-R 1 inch EPS

spacer over 10 inch girt (11in batt insulation) = R-55.7

ROOF

Roof 6 inch insulated roof panel over 12 inch metal girt

with batt insulation = R-70

specified double wall insulated dampers on all envelope penetrations

provided thermal and load bearing insulation

pads at structural steel connections

Thermal Bridging

Challenges: • maintain building interior temperature

between 50 and 80 degrees F WITHOUT the use of any active mechanical systems

• net zero site energy Software Selection: • IES vs Epro

Thermal / Energy Modeling

Where to Look?

Net Zero Energy Building Tip: Understand building physics

Infiltration Opaque Envelope

Windows

Infiltration construct an

airtight building

followed ASTM E1827-11 single point method for air tightness

looking for rate less than 0.1 cfm/sf

door blower test, identify leaks

with smoke guns

actual leakage 0.08 cfm/sf

once load reduced, use night flush through one fan with thermal storage in internal concrete walls and slab

Net Zero Energy Building Tip:

Understand micro climate

Energy Results

• If 6 months results are extrapolated to one year, Total Building Energy consumption = 3,588 kWh

That is 1.44 kBtu/sq.ft-year • Modeled was 1.66kBtu/sq.ft-year
