  1. Hillel HouseProject Review 4/3/09 Boiler Green Initiative

  2. Introduction Hillel House • Matt Leon – Senior, OLS (Project Leader) • Rachel Machbitz – Freshman, Engineering (Project Liaison) • Emily Pohlman - Senior, Environmental Science • Jessica Zuponcic - Freshman, Engineering Boiler Green Initiative

  3. Community Need Hillel House • Relevance to the project partner • What is the need that is being addressed? • Hillel House currently uses many of the same structures and appliances that were established with the house’s initial construction in 1950 and are in need of updating. • Our goal is to reduce electricity consumption by 15% and gas consumption by 20-30% Boiler Green Initiative

  4. Community Need Hillel House • Initial contact was made with the organization for the analysis of potentially establishing a green roof on the building. • Reducing building energy consumption will allow more funds to be directed to the students in the organization and improve the building. Boiler Green Initiative

  5. Goals of the Project Hillel House • The BGI team will create a strategic plan to maximize energy savings with minimal capital input and implement small scale repairs and additions. • Our team will not be able to install large scale projects such as window replacement, electrical rewiring, or heating and cooling system changes. Boiler Green Initiative

  6. Goals of the Project Hillel House • What is the success criteria? • The success of this project will come from reducing energy costs for Hillel House at a rate that will justify the initial investment. We don’t want to spend more than $4000 on the rain garden. Boiler Green Initiative

  7. Last semester’s plans Hillel House • Finished a Feasibility Report • Winterized Building • Eliminated Non Feasible Concepts • Geothermal • Green Roof • Continued of Feasible Concepts • Winterization • Windows • Solar • Rain Garden Boiler Green Initiative

  8. Feasibility Chart Hillel House Feasible Possible Not Feasible Boiler Green Initiative

  9. Infrared Heat Loss Images

  10. Winterization • Insulation • Keeps energy from escaping from the building and into the atmosphere, which keeps cost down. • Covering Windows with Plastic • Keeps energy from escaping. Similar to insulation. • Replacing Broken Panes • Replacing these panes will directly affect energy loss because we are fixing a hole in the wall. Boiler Green Initiative

  11. Comparison of Winterized Windows Before After

  12. Windows: Overview Hillel House • Window Replacement Quotes from Two Companies • Bee Window • Best Window and Door Company • Developed Pros/Cons of Each Company/Quote Boiler Green Initiative

  13. Windows: Background Information Hillel House • Terminology • Solar Heat Gain Coefficient • U-Factor • Other Options • Panorama Window Film • Wall Sections installed Boiler Green Initiative

  14. Infrared Heat Loss Images

  15. Windows: Data • Best Window and Door had a Lower U-Factor (.28 versus .31 for Bee Window) • Similar SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) • Number of Windows vs. Price • Bee Window: 71 Windows for $44,313.00 • Best Window and Door: 82 Windows for $46,318.23 • Best Window and Door has Lower Cost per Window ($564.86/Window) Boiler Green Initiative

  16. Solar: Overview Hillel House • Goals of Solar Energy • Reduce electricity use from grid • Creative use of passive solar to reduce heating/cooling needs • Extend the roof overhang on the building in order to block sun in summer Boiler Green Initiative

  17. Solar: Proposed Solutions Hillel House • Passive solar • Use natural lighting to reduce interior lighting needs • Can be utilized while minimizing window surface area during replacement www.eere.energy.gov Boiler Green Initiative

  18. Need for Rain Garden • Cuts down on water consumption • Reuse of rain water • Aesthetically appealing with the plants • Learning tool about wetlands for the community and Purdue by making a Rain Garden brochure

  19. Rain Garden: Overview • A shallow constructed depression that is planted with deep-rooted native plants & grasses. • Easiest, most cost effective, and aesthetically pleasing thing that can be done to reduce the contribution to storm water pollution. • Eliminates the need for an irrigation system. • Provides the opportunity to fix the current walkway. http://www.cleanairgardening.com Boiler Green Initiative

  20. Storage Calculations Definite Integral Calculation-- Depth of reservoir: 1feet 11 2/3 inches Diameter of reservoir: 10feet 2 inches We are going to capture 600 gallons per rain event.
