1 Integrated Design A necessity for sustainable buildings Architectural Design v/s HVAC Design or HVAC Design after Architectural design or Integration of Concept, Location, Esthetic and Technical Design Markus T. Kalo, M.Sc., Architect

2 The main questions Effect of architectural typology on comfort, running costs and environmental impact? What is the effect of strong or week architecture in combination with strong or week installations on sustainability? How much space do Installations need in different building types? How can sustainable buildings be an economical and environmental advantage at the same time? What are the advantages of early design integration?

3 Integrated Design A necessity for sustainable buildings Definition: Integrated design combines the conceptual and architectural stages of a building project with the technical stages and planning of installations The architect and installation consultant work together from the very beginning Shapes, sizes, materials, installations and allocation of different spaces are all related to: Building type Climate Legislation Special requirements of use Markus T. Kalo, M.Sc., Architect

4 Integrated Design A necessity for sustainable buildings ECONOMICO SOCIALE AMBIENTAL

5 Integrated Design A necessity for sustainable buildings Reducing energy in three steps: 1. Building shell Material Orientation Amount of windows U- and G-values Air tightness Solar shading Etc. Quality matters: Glass: winter = U-value < 1,3 W/m2 K summer = SF/ SC/ G-value: <0,4 (Solar factor)

6 Modern architecture Glass at all cost?

7 Modern architecture Glass at all cost? Finding the right balance and glass

8 Modern architecture Glass at all cost? Finding the right balance and glass June September

9 Modern architecture Glass at all cost? Finding the right balance and glass Installed cooling power Office Tallinn 927W Installed cooling power Office Lisbon 991W Solar angle in 21 March, 21 Sept. / 21 June Lisbon Tallinn 51,3 / 74,8 30,8 / 53,3

10 Modern architecture Choosing the right solution? Solar panels to the north?

11 Integrated Design A necessity for sustainable buildings Reducing energy in three steps: 2. Room level Choice of lighting Absence control (all installations) Do not over-ventilate Do not under-cool Do not over-heat Demand controlled climate distribution (heating, cooling, ventilation) Control matters: Occupancy: demand control on temperature, air quality Absence: reduced air volume, lower heating & higher cooling set-points

12 Integrated Design A necessity for sustainable buildings Reducing energy in three steps: 3. Central level Energy recovery (cooling, heating, humidity, outdoor temp) Balanced air volume Correct dimensioned energy carriers (air, water, electricity, controls) Reduce primary energy need (purchased energy) Efficiency matters: AHU- Heating, cooling, humidity: maximum recovery with smallest possible pressure drop (low SFP) Chiller / HP Cooling and Heating production with highest possible (high EER/COP)

13 Integrated Design Control of media Airflow regulation first by fans than by dampers Water flow regulation first by pumps than by valves Demand controlled climate production (ventilation, heating, cooling) Demand controlled climate distribution (air, water) High quality building (shell)

14 Integrated Design A necessity for sustainable buildings The effect of strong or week architecture with strong or week installations Architecture Concept, shell Integrated design From the very beginning Installations HVAC, lights

15 Example: Weak Architecture, weak HVAC Cheep, functional architecture No or limited, hidden HVAC Looking bad and smelling bad (no ventilation) Maximum space but minimum flexibility and comfort Short term technical problems: high energy consumption, high running costs Long term technical problems: mould and fungus due to insufficient ventilation Project: Paris suburbs

16 Example: building system with no or extract air ventilation Loft/ Balcony Humid outdoor air is taken into each apartment. Mold on thermal bridges Supply air grilles are closed off (draught). Humid air stays in apartment Internal humidity loads (shower, kitchen) is only handled with unregulated extraction

17 Extract air v/s balanced ventilation Sound from traffic etc. Small from traffic, neighbour barbeque etc. Draught and cold floors 17

18 Extract air v/s balanced ventilation Energy and cost saving with energy recovery Energy use with radiators and extract air system only Energy use with balanced demand controlled ventilation, energy recovery and heat pump 1 apartment (ca. 65m²) / year kWh kwh Annual energy / m² 198kWh 67 kwh Annual saving in % 66 % Energy cost / kwh in EURO 0,085 0,085 Annual energy cost for building with 100 apartments Annual saving EURO 18 TOTAL: Air 30%; Heating 36%, Tap water 25%; General electricity 9%

19 Example: Strong Architecture, weak HVAC Beautiful Architecture No or limited, hidden HVAC Looking good but limited ventilation Maximum space but minimum flexibility (heating & cooling loads for right indoor climate) Short term technical problems: high energy consumption, high running costs Long term technical problems: over heating, uncontrollable air movement Project: Swiss Ree (Initial design)

20 Example: Initial design Swiss Ree Natural ventilation through atriums and facade as the base One big air handling unit / floor Open balconies between the floors and the atriums

21 Example: From Problem to Solution Closed off atriums No natural air movement Different level of occupancy Different level of internal loads One big air handling unit / floor Enhanced mechanical ventilation for air changes 6 small decentral air handling units / floor Free space in the core (total 1028m²) creates 12 Mio in rental revenue over 15 years

22 Example: Week Architecture, strong HVAC Good HVAC and indoor climate, No respect of aesthetics or design (by todays standards) True if it would not be Nr. 1: Perfect indoor climate but looking ugly (no architecture) Maximum space and climate flexibility, fully integrated Short term advantages: architectural problems: lost rentable m 2, lower rent per m 2 since not representative Long term architectural problems: less attractive than other buildings in the same area, risk of being vacated Centre Pompidou, Paris

23 Examples: Weak Architecture, strong HVAC Today: Installations are the answer of a physically need but the building should be defined by it s function. Typical space for installations needed is between 8% for Retail up to 17% for hotels Advantage here: no indoor space for big ducts and risers Landmark, iconic for it s time Centre Pompidou in Paris

24 Example: Strong Architecture, strong HVAC Beautiful Architecture Good HVAC and indoor climate Beautiful building with perfect indoor climate Maximum climate flexibility but disturbing the available space Short term advantages: Representative building with low running costs being the most attractive on it s location Long term advantages: Flexible for changes and high quality building with a healthy structure for many years. Oslo Opera House

25 Examples: Oslo Opera House Correct facade and glass type to manage solar radiation, capture energy with solar panels and keep the cold winter outside Correct system for highest thermal and acoustic comfort without limiting the use Changing occupation rates ad use demand high flexibility of both architecture and installations

26 Examples: The facade Solar panel facade produces more energy than expected Glass quality not just with a high U-value for transmission but also with a high g-value to keep solar gains outside Intelligently controlled solar shading based on temperature need and function

27 Examples: The Climate System (HVAC) Supply air diffusers placed under the seats supply displacement heating, cooling and ventilation at max 17 db (A) Nozzles guarantee a draught free supply Integration in seats allows maximum flexibility for use of space

28 Importance of ventilation Energy use which unit uses less Installed 1988 Installed 2015

29 Rule of thumb for building types Retail Required ventilation is demand controlled ca. 2,3-4,6m 3 /h /m 2 (0,6-1,2l/s / m 2) Sound level <35 db(a) Standard acclimatisation with air Temperature (s, w) <24 C, >21 C Air volume and temp. demand controlled Approx. space needed for all technical installations 8% Min. 8+4 m 2 /person School Required ventilation ca. 1100m 3 /h (300l/s) / class room Sound level <35db(A) Standard acclimatisation water Temperature (s, w) <26 C, >20 C Air volume and temp. demand controlled, free cooling possible Approx. space needed for all technical installations 12% Approx. 2,5m 2 /person +other rooms

30 Rule of thumb for building types Hotel Required ventilation ca. 80m 3 /h (22l/s) / room Sound level <25 db(a) Standard acclimatisation with water or DX Temperature (s, w) <24 C, >21 C Air volume and temp. demand controlled Approx. space needed for all technical installations 17% Approx m 2 /person Office Required ventilation ca. 40m 3 /h (11l/s) / person Sound level <32db(A) Standard acclimatisation air, water or DX Temperature (s, w) <25 C, >20 C Temperature demand controlled Approx. space needed for all technical installations 10% Approx m 2 /person
