deep energy retrofit– case studies The Castle Square Apartments • Deep Energy Retrofit of 192 units, while occupied by residents • 7 story, 500 affordable apartment units, built in the 1960’s, Boston MA. • 73% reduction in whole building consumption. Heating: 94.5% efficient condensing boilers and indirect hot water storage tanks with hydronic baseboards in each unit. Cooling: Energy Star AC units, 7800 Btu/hour cooling capacity, 9.9 EER DHW: Solar Hot Water Ventilation: Renovation of existing system utilizing Aeroseal technology and Constant Air Regulator (CAR) Dampers. Installation of fresh air trickle vents. http://www.castledeepenergy.com
Case studies / Cost benefit: • 64,583 sf office • cost 20% less than construction average • 80% energy savings Energon Offices, Ulm, 2003 Architect; Stephan Oehler
Case studies / Cost benefit: • Not planned as PH, therefore not designed or oriented for solar gain • Still only 5% more than construction average
Case studies / Cost benefit: • No additional cost • mechanical systems cost approximately €150,000 less • Savings were invested in Passivhaus Standard windows and additional insulation Montessori school: Architects: Walbrunn / Grotz / Vallentin.
and what are the actual costs?what you really want to know graphic of cost differences
challenges we have not cracked the utility allowance nut yet trades crews are still coming along we still have to prove we are meeting lower energy standards individual metering direct hood exhaust inferior models don’t recognize solar gain, heat recovery, etc
case study: an Owners perspective integrated design approach
case study: We are like mechanics… 1963 Ford Falcon : 32.5 MPG @ $.40 /gallon =
case study: The efficiency of these buildings needs to sustain the welfare of its residents… 2014 Honda Fit EV: 118e MPG @ $3.38/gallon=

case study: Delta Commons @ Benning Road Passive House principles revisited • orientation • super-insulate/airseal (envelope), and utilize ERV • optimize window performance • utilize passive space conditioning • utilize high efficiency active strategies
case study (retrofit): #1 design order of operations: orientation
case study (retrofit): #1 design order of operations: orientation we can not turn the buildings, => regulate solar gain (as best practically) with shading assemblies ly
