2 Outline Taitem Engineering Sustainability & USGBC/LEED Alternative Energy Alternative Building Materials
3 Taitem Engineering
4 Taitem Engineering Staff of 40, founded 1989 Design, energy studies, research Contracting Aeroseal, Solar PV Over 600 design projects, including LEED
5 Sustainability & USGBC/LEED
6 Sustainability What does it mean?
7 Sustainability EPA defines it as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
8 What is Green Design? Design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants Why is this important? Why focus on Buildings?

12 Benefits of Green Building Environmental benefits Reduce the impacts of natural resource consumption Economic benefits Improve the bottom line Health and safety benefits Enhance occupant comfort and health Community benefits Minimize strain on local infrastructures and improve quality of life
13 An Introduction to the U.S. Green Building Council and the LEED TM Green Building Rating System Copyright 2003, U.S. Green Building Council
14 U.S. Green Building Council National nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC Promotes sustainability in how buildings are designed, built, and operated Developer of the LEED TM Green Building Rating System
15 Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design TM
16 What is LEED TM? LEED is a point based rating system for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes, and neighborhoods Developed in 1998 Has been applied to more than 7,000 projects in the US and abroad 1.5 billion square feet of development area
17 LEED TM Versions LEED for New Construction LEED for Existing Buildings, Operations & Maintenance LEED for Commercial Interiors LEED for Core and Shell LEED for Retail LEED for Schools LEED for Homes LEED for Neighborhood Development LEED for Healthcare

31 Cross Section of PV Cell
32 Silicon Solar Cell
33 Solar PV Systems Cells are the building block of PV systems o Typically generate watts of power Modules or panels are made up of multiple cells Arrays are made up of multiple modules o A typical array costs about $3.50/watt Still need lots of other components to make this work Typical systems cost about $5/watt
34 Solar Panel Solar panel by BP Solar at a German autobahn bridge
35 Town of Preble 9.2kW roof mounted system with microinverters
36 Danby NY kw ground mount system

40 Remote Areas (Mexico) A solar panel in Marla, Cirque de Mafate, Réunion
41 Residential
42 Commercial Solar Centre at Baglan Energy Park in South Wales
43 Solar Cell Efficiencies Typical module efficiencies ~15% o Screen printed multi-crystalline solar cells Efficiency range is 6-30% o 6% for amorphous silicon-based PV cells o 20% for best commercial cells o 30% for multi-junction research cells
44 Solar Panel Efficiencies ~10.75 kw/ft 2 reaches the ground (sunny day) ~20% efficiency 2150W/ft 2 electricity Daylight & weather in northern latitudes o 1075 W/ft 2 in winter; 2690 W/ft 2 in summer
45 Solar PV Components Inverter o Converts DC power from solar array to AC for use in your home Wiring o Connects the system components Batteries o Used to store solarproduced electricity for nighttime or emergency use o Mainly used for remote sites that aren t tied into the electrical grid Charge controller o Prevents batteries from being over charged Disconnect switches o Allows power from a PV system to be turned off Electrical meter o Measures electrical production and use o Often runs backward if system is attached to the electrical grid Total system cost = ~$3.75 / watt
46 Solar PV Cost Total system cost = ~$3.75 / watt
47 Solar PV Installation Photos
48 Stand Alone Solar PV System BATTERY
49 Grid Connected Solar PV System
50 Connecting PV to the Grid
51 Net Metering When your system produces more electricity than your home uses o electricity flows backward out to the grid Meter runs backward and you get credit for the electricity you sell to the utility
52 Solar PV Dependencies Location, Location, Location! Latitude o Lower latitudes better than higher latitudes Weather o Clear sunny skies better than cloudy skies o Temperature not important Direction solar arrays face o South preferred, east and west acceptable Absence of shade o Trees, Flatirons, etc.
