  2. “All Technology for Everyone” • The Innovation Hyperlab was designed to creatively teach students. The construction of a modern, energy efficient building will educate young adults and provide the framework for them to construct new ideas in science, technology, engineering and math using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic techniques…

  3. Design Approach and goals • Our design team took a practical approach to design a comfortable, cost efficient and sustainable Science and Technology Center. Our goals: • Reuse existing site, building, and materials when possible • Superior indoor learning spaces • Reduce energy consumption with realistic design strategies • Achieve LEED Silver or higher

  4. Climate Summary • ASHRAE Zone 5B • Hot, dry summers; long, cold winters • Predominant southern winds year-round • 300 sunshine days/year, 26-74o sun angle

  5. Microclimate Summary • Southern Pines: • Shading during winter months; strong windblock • Neighboring Building: • Shading during late summer afternoons; reduces leeward wind flow • Conclusions: • Excellent daylighting opportunity to south; wind-driven natural ventilation not feasible

  6. Site Selection +1 • Reuse existing building structure • Site is currently undeveloped • Parking capacity retained • No removal of green spaces

  7. Proposed Building Design • Laboratories occupy southern spaces • Faculty privacy from students • Centrally located mechanical systems reduce ducting/piping losses

  8. Material Selection +1 Water Conservation • Low water usage fixtures, fittings, and appliances • Centralized mechanical room reduces pipe losses +1 • Recycled and locally sourced materials when possible • Low VOC materials for carpets

  9. Entrance & Exhibition +1 • Attract guests & incite interest • Display student, faculty, or local research • Space can double as reception area for small groups and visitors • Use of arid plants and dry grasses for landscaping

  10. Laboratory Spaces +1 • Open learning environment • Windows optimized for daylighting • Solar thermal gains in the wintertime • Reflective, sound absorbing panels

  11. Mezzanine +1 • Common space for students and faculty alike • Daylighting northwestern monitor • Open floor plan allows penetration to lab spaces

  12. PV Array +2 • Congregation area and break room • Connection to the outdoor environment • Offsets building’s electricity • First-hand learning opportunity for students

  13. HVAC controls and strategies +1 • Utilize winter solar gains from the southern exposure to reduce heating needs in the wintertime • Spaces with similar functions, occupancy levels, and thermal gains are zoned together • Nighttime flushes / indirect evaporative cooling

  14. Building Performance : Baseline Energy Model • ASHRAE 90.1 construction (code) • No EEMs

  15. Building Performance : Proposed Design • Individual EEMs • All EEMs together

  16. Windows and shading Winner +1 • Energy Simulations performed in eQuest optimized window and shading devices with respect to energy • Shading was further analyzed to block sunlight from April-August • Daylight windows provide light further into the space

  17. Daylighting Analysis +1 • Northwestern clerestory windows provide lighting into the second floor corridor and common spaces • Open floor plan and daylight windows provide light all the way into the back of the lab spaces • Reduced electric lighting load and daylighting controls help reduce annual electric load while providing adequate lighting for learning environment

  18. Cost Estimate Details and Assumptions: Performed using RSMeans Square Foot Costs 10% assumed accuracy 2013 start date LEED Gold Solar panels not included Material savings not considered Laboratory and classroom equipment included

  19. LEED Scorecard Expected GOLD rating Platinum achievable through advanced means

  20. Design Conclusions • Our goals: • Reuse existing site, building, and materials when possible • Superior indoor learning spaces • Reduce energy consumption with realistic design strategies • Achieve LEED Silver GOLD
