1 Update on the New ECE Building at the University of Illinois P. T. Krein Grainger Center for Electric Machinery and Electromechanics Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

2 About the Project Our new electrical and computer engineering building, now under construction, will open for the Fall 2014 term. Students and faculty can expect unmatched facilities for education, research, collaboration, and day-to-day work. 2

5 Motivation Provide a true home for the ECE department. Leverage activities on the north Engineering Quad. Create one of the nation s largest zero-net-energy facilities.

6 Uniqueness to our knowledge ECE Illinois has more instructional laboratory variety than any other university department in the world. ECE Illinois has more alumni than any other engineering program in the United States. ECE Illinois graduates more students than the combination of our top-rated peers. 6

7 Targets An inside-out plan for 230,000 gross ft² and 122,000 net assignable ft² $95 million total project budget with 50% state support Construction bid $71.1 million Leverage proximity to existing facilities while providing missing extra functions LEED Platinum certification; targeting the most energy-efficient engineering building in the world Showcase Illinois innovations (LED, energy advances, advanced computing, others) 7

8 New ECE Building Location Springfield Ave. Everitt Lab 8

9 The Process Marked contrast to other architectural projects: Inside-out design Form follows function Emphasis on internal department home Energy efficiency from the start Extensive low-energy features: Lighting HVAC Solar sources Energy management, etc. 9

10 External Design Projected for zero net energy on an annual basis, including solar resources on parking structure. Could become the largest U.S. zero-net energy building. 10

11 General Layout Functional emphasis Native landscaping 11

17 Defining Zero Net Energy Working definition is that the greater building site should deliver more energy annually than it consumes. University of Illinois Solar Decathlon project, 2009: beyond zero net 17

18 Energy Reduction 18

19 Building Envelope R-30 curtain rain wall system with terra cotta facing Passive solar elements to minimize heat load Design for natural light 19

20 Lighting 20-25% of energy in typical building New solid-state LED lighting New plasma lighting Highest energy-grade fluorescent lighting Daylight Higher efficiency multiplies benefits: less heat load. 20

21 Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) Chilled beams updated hot water heat/cool system Energy recovery wheels Heat recovery chillers 21

22 Solar Systems 300 kw (peak) system on the building roof 1000 kw or more on north campus garage Integration with campus experimental microgrid. 22

23 Some Others Planned or Likely Sustainability laboratory Occupancy lighting sensors Premium efficiency electric motors EnergyStar appliances and equipment Plug-in vehicle ports in garage User interfaces and metering 23

24 Long-Term Research Solar conversion and integration. Energy tracking and user control. Microgrids. Smart grid aspects. Low-energy buildings. Occupant behavior. 24
