  1. ZEH Home Project Team M.A.R.S. (Ryan McDevitt, Matt Helm, Scott Klima, AbhinavKalavar)

  2. Project Overview • Goal -To design and construct a model Zero Energy Home with a practical living environment, while including all of the features that we want in our own house. • Important Features -Passive Solar Design -Efficient Appliances -Photovoltaic System -Man Cave -Geothermal Heating/Cooling

  3. Project Overview Continued

  4. Appliance Selection • Electric Geothermal Heat Pump • Efficiency • Low monthly cost • No budget so why not? • Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) • WhirpoolWasher • -Model WFW94HEX*+

  5. Passive Solar Design • Goal – 1st Floor • Window Area = 10% of 1st Floor Area • Slab Area = 2-3 times the size Window Area on 1st floor • Also within the range of the south facing windows • Results • Windows • 1st Floor Window Area = 200ft3 • 1st Floor Area = 1840ft3 • Window Area to Floor Area Ratio 10.9% • Slab Area • Area = 780 • Slab Area to Window Area Ratio = 3.9

  6. Passive Solar Design

  7. Passive Solar • Second Floor • Can use a concept called “water walls” or water tubes Image 1: http://www.azsolarcenter.org/tech-science/solar-architecture/passive-solar-design-manual/passive-solar-design-manual-heating.html Image 2http://www.buildinggreentv.com/keywords/passive-solar?page=2

  8. Solar Electric System • Panels • Sunpower SPR-318-WHT-D • 318W/panel • Size of PV system: 8.9kW • Reasons for using this model • Number of panels: 28 (7 panels in series) • Total Voltage: ~385V

  9. Solar Electric System (cont’d) • Inverter • Sunny Boy 9000TL-US • Max DC Power: 9400W • Peak Power Tracking Voltage Range: 300V-480V (mid-range of tracking voltage: 390V)
