EDSGN 100 Section 6 Team 5 Casey Davis, Adrienne Veit, QuaShawn Rosario, Justin Burdette Daylighting
Provide natural sunlight inside house during day hours • Difficult to provide amounts appropriate to the season • Reduce electric light during day • Can lead to increase in heating • Replacing insulated walls with windows Project D - Daylighting
Direct Gain Windows Thermal Mass Floor Clerestories Overhangs Greenhouse Geothermal Heating Solar Panels Solar Heated Water Solar Techniques Implemented
Direct Gain / Thermal Mass • Large triple glazed windows facing south • 51% solar heat gained • 65% visible light transmitted • Light absorbed by thermal mass floor • Radiates heat
Clerestories • South facing window on roof • Angled to allow winter sun, not summer sun • Overheating prevented • Privacy
Extension of building atop window Length calculated using sun angles Prevent overheating (summer) Allow for heating (winter) Overhangs
Greenhouse • Entirely glass room • Heat trapped behind glazing • Hot air rises while cool air drops • Vents open and close to control house heating
Geothermal Heating • Earth crust keeps relatively constant temperature • Loop (network of tubes) throughout house and into ground • Tube full of liquid • refrigerant, water, etc… • Absorb heat from ground and release into house • Opposite possible for cooling • Circuit constant
Solar Panels / Solar Heated Water • Thermal solar panels placed on roof • Generate electricity by converting photons absorbed by the cells to free electrons • Conducted to series of tubes and transferred to insulated tank • Heated water stored in tank until use
Triple Glazed Windows • 10% off cost up to $200 on all windows, skylights, clerestories • Geothermal Heat Pump • 30% off cost up to $2000 • Solar Panels • 30% off cost up to $2000 • Beginning 2009, no cap Government incentives
Triple Glazed Windows • Save 2-3% on heating bill • Cost 10-15% more to install • Geothermal Heating • Save 30-70% on heating bill • Save 20-50% on cooling bill • Utilities provide incentives • Cost 50-100% more to install • Solar Panels • Currently a small difference in electric • If electric prices increase, difference between the two will grow • Thermal Mass Walls • Annual energy consumption 6-10% less Energy Saved
