2 Schedule Graduate students: Final reports due Thurs Dec 1 st, 11:59 pm Move to Monday 8 am All: HW 6 due Thurs Dec 1 st in class Can turn in by Friday by 5 pm without any points off Final exam (all students): December 8 th, 2-4 pm 2

3 Last time: Building energy simulation There are many software packages available (some are free) EnergyPlus equest IES-VE TRNSYS Many others tools_directory/subjects.cfm/ pagename=subjects/ pagename_menu=whole_building_analysi s/pagename_submenu=energy_simulation 3

4 Building energy simulation equations For an example room like this, you would setup a system of equations where the temperature at each node (either a surface or within a material) is unknown 12 material nodes + 1 indoor air node At surface nodes: q = 0 C Heat external surfaces: Radiation and convection At nodes inside materials: dt mc p dt = q at boundaries Unsteady conduction (storage) is based on density and heat capacity of material 1 2 L 3 Room F Convection A air node Rad iati on 3 internal surface node 2 element-inner node 1 external surface node 3 2 R 1 4

5 Unsteady energy balance for air node To get the impact on indoor air temperature (and close the system of equations) Write an energy balance on the indoor air node Air impacted directly only by convection (bulk and surface) (V room ρ air c p,air ) dt air,in dt n = h i A ( i T i,surf T ) air,in + mc p T out T air,in i=1 ( ) +Q HVAC In plain English: The change in indoor air temperature is equal to the sum of convection from each interior surface plus outdoor air delivery (by infiltration or dedicated outdoor air supply), plus the bulk convective heat transfer delivered by the HVAC system L 3 C 3 F 3 A air node EQ i HVAC R 3 Q infiltration 5

6 Energy efficiency is actually inexpensive $520 billion in investment à $1.2 trillion in savings through 2020 McKinsey & Company, 2009 Unlocking energy efficiency in the US economy 6

7 BUILDING DESIGN GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS 7

8 Designing for efficiency Whether designing a new building or retrofitting an old building There are a number of building codes and standards that help design for energy efficiency and sustainability Codes generally provide minimum criteria Your building can t be worse than this City codes, state codes, national codes, etc. Standards often go above and beyond code Or can become cited in code Green building standards Several green building standards exist with varying levels of building energy efficiency criteria 8

9 State energy codes: Commercial buildings 9

10 Designing for efficiency: Codes, standards, and guidelines ASHRAE Standards and Guidelines Standard 90.1: Energy standard for buildings except low-rise residential buildings Standard 90.2: Energy efficient design of low-rise residential buildings Standard 189.1: Standard for the design of high-performance, green buildings Advanced Energy Guidelines for 30% and 50% savings IECC: International Energy Conservation Code From the International Code Council (ICC) IRC: International Residential Code 10

11 ASHRAE , 2010, 2013, and now 2016 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings Look for Addenda to the standard Corrections and changes 11

12 ASHRAE Standards 90.1 and 90.2 ASHRAE/ANSI/IESNA 90.1 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings Will continue to be reference for commercial buildings First appeared in 1975 with major updates in 80,89,99,04,07,10,13,16 Major changes include a change in climatic categories and lighting power density ASHRAE Standard 90.1 is the basis of energy efficiency for nearly all Building Codes and Green Building Ratings ICC codes, DOE/Federal Government Codes, State and City Codes, LEED, Green Globes 12

26 LEED and energy use 26

27 LEED and energy use 27

28 ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guides Targets of 30% energy savings or 50% energy savings Over ASHRAE Guidelines for many types of buildings: Medium to big box retail buildings Small to medium office buildings K-12 school buildings Large hospitals Small office buildings Highway lodging Small warehouses etc. You can download most of these for free 28

29 ASHRAE AEDG: 30% savings in small offices Office buildings smaller than 20,000 ft 2 Only a recommendation document Not a code or standard (unless a standard implements this) Represents a way to build energy efficient small offices Recommendations for energy-efficiency in: Building envelope Lighting HVAC equipment and systems Service water heating Focus on integrated process 29
