Edmund Tsang Graham Dow Marc Smeed 16469- Low Energy Building DesignPresentation 2- Supply Options
Goals for our Power Supply • Environmental • Financial • Operational
Environmental • Low Co2 and other greenhouse gas emissions • Low embodied energy • Sustainable
Operational • Operable by non-technical personnel or autonomous operation • Maintenance commitments must not be time consuming or expensive • Demand/comfort conditions must be met at all times • Should be efficient • Must be reliable
Initial Rationalisations • Infeasible designs: • Large Scale Wind • Biomass • Hydro Power
Available Technology • B+Q sell a windsave turbine £1500 • Rated Power Output: 1kW @ rated wind speed • Rated Wind Speed: 12.5m/s • Cut-in Wind Speed: 3.5 to 5 m/s @ hub height • Cut-out Wind Speed: 14 m/s@ hub height
Available Technology Proven Stewarton based company
Wind Data Glasgow From Paisley weather station 32m above sea level 1971-2000 averages.
Solar Potential? Solar Collector facing SW @ 60°
Conclusions Based on the criteria we established
