1 Renewable Energy in Commercial Buildings By Loren Abraham, AIA, LEED AP Part IV Standard Rules of Practice and Design lines General Principals and Recommended Practice for implementing Renewable Energy in Commercial Buildings including The Ten Commandments for Integrating Renewable Energy for all solar applications Rules of Practice for Solar PV Rules of Practice for Solar Thermal Systems Rules of Practice for Wind Power Rules of Practice for Groundsource Heat Pumps 92 of 306
2 Selected 10 Best Practices 1. Use an integrated design process to system-engineer the building 2. Use computer simulations to guide the design process; these help designers analyze trade-offs and examine the energy impacts of architecture and HVAC choices 3. Simulate and measure the building s energy performance at design, construction, and occupancy stages 4. Set specific, quantifiable energy performance goals 5. Design the building envelope to meet or minimize as many HVAC and lighting loads as possible 6. Size HVAC and lighting systems to meet loads not met by the envelope 7. Use daylighting in all zones adjacent to exterior walls or roofs 8. Install highly reflective surfaces in all daylit zones, especially ceilings 9. Monitor and evaluate post-occupancy energy performance 10. Carefully design and implement the use, control, and integration of economizers, natural ventilation, and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). 93 of 306
3 Re-Arch: General The Initiative Principals for Renewable and Energy Recommended in Architecture Practice The Ten Commandments of Renewable Energy 1. Thou shalt make all your buildings SOLAR Ready. Design for renewable energy even if it is not a certainty. 2. Make Roof design a first priority Consider loads, orientation, form, etc. 3. Integrate renewable energy with good energy efficient design. 4. Use Energy Modeling early in design. Optimize, optimize, OPTIMIZE! 5. Be careful not to overstate savings - keep expectations reasonable. 6. You should avoid unnecessary complexity. Don t try to do too much remember, technology is your friend use it - but use it appropriately. 7. When possible use more than one renewable energy solution. 8. As a rule use state-of-the-shelf technologies. 9. Always be willing to go against convention when circumstances suggest a different approach. 10. Don t rely only on your own knowledge and skill. Hire consultants with proven track records when appropriate. 94 of 306

If an existing structure is there adequate structural support on the roof for the additional loads? What rebates and tax incentives are avaialble? What are the zoning restrictions? Is it an effective use of PV technology? PV 104 of 306
14 Solar PV System Sizing 1 Method 1: Manual RE Goal Method Step 1: Calculate Probable Annual Energy Use for Project = EUI for building type (kbtu/sf) x Energy Reduction Target (%) x Floor Area (sf) Step 2: Determine PV Power Production Requirement = RE Goal (%) x Total Building Energy Use (kwh) Step 3: Calculate size of the PV array (kw) = Annual Energy from the PV system (kwh) Solar Radiation (kwh/kw-year) x PV Efficiency (%)) Step 4: Calculate the Area of the Array based on W/sf output value = PV Area (sf) = PV size (kw) x 1000 PV Product nameplate output (W/sf) Note: 1 The method shown here for calculating the size (kw) for a PV system, steps 1-3, is also the same for determining the size of any renewable energy system where electrical power is d d 105 of 306 PV

17 Design General lines rules and for Integrating recommended Renewable practice Energy in Commercial Method Buildings 1 Solar PV System Sizing Step 3: Calculate Total Power output of PV array in kw Annual Energy from the PV system (kwh) = PVp (kw) = Solar Radiation (kwh/kw-year) x PV system efficiency (%) = 11,000 kwh = 8.93 kw or 9 kw 1,600 kwh/kw-year x.77 Step 4: = Calculate the Area of the Array based PV size (kw) x 1000 PV Product nameplate output (W/sf) 1 This calculation would often be in panel quantity rather than total square footage. 108 of 306 = 9 kw x 1000 = 763 sf (W/sf) PV
18 Solar PV System Sizing Method 2 Method 2: Seat-of-the-pants (Quicker & Easier) Method Step 1: Calculate Rough Annual Energy Use for Project = 10,000 sf (Bldg SF) x 10 kwh/sf (EUI) = 100,000 kwh (Use =$1/sf) Step 2: Determine PV Power Production Requirement = 10 % (RE Goal) x 100,000 kwh (EU) = 10,000 kwh (PV Production) Step 3: Calculate size of the PV array (kw) = 10,000 kwh x 1.5 = 10 kwp (PV Power) 1500 kwh/kw-yr Step 4: Calculate the Area of the Array = 10 kw x 100 sf/kw = 1,000 sf PV Area (Aha!) RE Goal x Bldg SF = PV area PV 109 of 306
19 Solar PV Determining Feasibility Determine Probable Size for Array Example Bldg (10,000 sf). (10W/sf x Bldg sf x RE Goal % = Wp) = 10,000 Wp (RE Goal 10%) Determine Probable Maximum Cost (Wp x $10.00) = $100,000-50,000 (incentives) = $50,000 +/- Annual Energy Savings = 12,000 kwh + Peak = $2,500 +/- Most likely payback (10 20 years) 15 years (avg.)

PV System kwh/yr production rate for Type 2 (shown above) x Utility Price ($//kwh) x Array sf Example: Energy Savings = $0.10 kwh/sf/yr x $0.21//kWh 2 x 1,000 sf PV = $2,100/yr Achievable Payback Period Year Payback 3 For a more Accurate Estimate of Savings and Payback Use a Software Tool (A Review of RE Software Design and Analysis Tools is coming up in Part VII) PV 114 of 306
24 BOS Equipment** Cost Percentage Cost/Wp Inverter This converts the direct current (DC) power coming off of the panels (or from the battery bank) into alternating current (AC), the convention for household electricity. Inverters vary in terms of their capacity (how much electrical current they can handle) and the quality of the AC they produce (some household loads lights, appliances can tolerate lower-grade current, while others printers, computers have more exacting needs). The inverter generally makes up about 10% of the total cost of a PV system. $ Charge Controller This manages the flow of electrical power from the panels to the battery bank and household loads. Battery Bank PV systems need deep-cycle batteries; this means that they are almost always lead-acid, big, and heavy. The cost of a battery bank depends on its capacity just how much electricity is needed in storage to deal with night time power needs and cloudy days. Battery banks require proper ventilation for safe operation. Rack and Mounting System This holds the individual panels in place and on the mounting surface, typically the roof (stanchion systems are available for ground mounts). It s important that the system used matches both the cladding and the structural system beneath. There is a wide variety of systems available with wind ratings to 120 mph and more. Typically makes up about 10% to 15% of the total system cost, currently about $5.90 per amp. PV system battery banks make up about 15% of the typical system, currently priced at about $1.63 per output Watt. This part of the PV system is typically about 10% of the total cost. $ $ $ PV 115 of 306
