7 Precedent Analysis Zero Energy House 2009 The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Solar Decathalon What is it? Requirements Timeline Precedents What? Ten Contests Maryland Leafhouse History Guidlines Georgia Tech Bios(h)ips Purpose Santa Clara Technische Organic Simplicity: The project gave the judges a menu as they called it to explain their project. The whole project was low to no petroleum based products, even the truck that transported the house used bio-desil fuel. The team even designed a new sip panel that was made of recycled wasted paper and soy insulation that had an R-37. The Biosips set up the daylighting opportunities on the elevations. The menu given outlined every building and agricultural by-product used in the project and where it could be found. The materials ranged from soy, wheat, and corn to bamboo, flax and other recycled and reused materials. ( Even the clean up process the team used was environmental friendly and tried to make the process as natural as possible. Glazing Front Elevation Organization: The project is divided into three different zones on an East to West axis. The East end of the house is known as the morning section and the private area, bedroom, office, and bathroom can be found here. The public zone or heart of the building is in the middle it is the public and travel zone. The exterior area is painted red to reflect on the the heart concept. This is the living room and kitchen space. Decks are attached here showing the entrance, exits, and allow for accessibility. The West end is the mechanical core with all of the performance equipment. The battery rack and evacuated tubes are also located here. This is the life of the house. The house heart is flanked by the two poche zones, which on the exterior is keyed off by the metal panels. Organization Private/Morning Public/Traffic Zones Private/Mechanical Adaptability: The houses has a couple features that allow for many different unique opportunities. The roof has a moveable function that lifts up and creates sunlight to penetrate down into the living spaces. It also allows the traveling height to be less than the actual on site height. Radiant heating in the floors also allows for no ducts in the ceiling. This allows for unique spaces such as the sleeping loft and extra storage spaces. The Sleeping loft overlooks the living room space. Unique Spaces Technology: The solar thermal system provides hot water for laundry, showers and dishwashers. The system consists of a series of evacuated tube (a) solar collectors that run vertically and are integrated with the standing seam metal siding, which is located in the Southwest corner of the house. The radiant heating system in the floor takes out the need for ducts freeing up above and below the house. The house is cooled by the mini-split system. In a house this small not many units are necessary to cool it.the mechanical core is powered by a system that controls, regulates, and records the data. The PV panels collect enough energy to power the whole house (b). Solar Collectors (a) Rear Elevation (b)
