  • Feasible Upper Boundaries of Passive Solar Space Heating Fraction Potentials by Climate Zone Ted Kesik1 and William O'brien2 1Associate Professor, John H
    Feasible Upper Boundaries of Passive Solar Space Heating Fraction Potentials by Climate Zone Ted Kesik1 and William O'Brien2 1Associate Professor, John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design, University of Toronto, Canada 2Assistant Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada Abstract Advances in energy modeling tools and techniques have caused passive solar design guidelines from a previous generation to be superceded by simulation. The ability to model building energy behaviour, heat transfer between multiple zones within a dwelling, and consider the effects of thermal mass and/or phase change materials, along with a variety of shading devices, has shed new light on passive solar energy utilization for space heating. In particular, the ability to accurately model the thermal and optical responses of high performance window technologies has uncovered new possibilities for solar apertures and feasible boundaries of passive solar space heating fraction potentials. This paper presents a methodology for assessing the feasible upper solar energy utilization boundary for the passive heating of houses, not as a replacement for simulation, but as a helpful guideline to designers, energy code authorities and utilities. For a particular climate zone and building geometry, the methodology can be employed to derive a range of building enclosure characteristics including: opaque component U-values; window and glazing U-values / solar heat gain coefficients, south-facing window-to-wall ratios, thermal mass levels, solar heat gain distribution rates and shading device placement and operating schedules. It can also inform decision makers involved in housing energy policy, the planning of subdivisions for new communities, and the design of housing typologies.

Tribes contributed to the development of the Toolkit by participating in green building codes pilot projects, by providing comments, through the Tribal Green Building Codes Workgroup and through feedback obtained at the National American Indian Housing Council Annual Conference in May of 2013. The project was led by EPA Region 9’s Tribal Green Building Team, in collaboration with Tribal Green Building Codes Workgroup members.

D. Fahrenheit, the inventor of the alcohol and mercury thermometers, in the early 18th century. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32F and its boiling point is 212F at normal atmospheric pressure. Celsius temperature (°C) refers to temperatures measured on a scale devised in 1742 by Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer. The Celsius scale is graduated into 100 units between the freezing temperature of water (0°C) and its boiling point at normal atmospheric pressure (100°C) and is, consequently, commonly referred to as the Centigrade scale.

  • Dream in Color
    Dream in Color Thousands of Color Possibilities Producing a broad spectrum of colors and moods that are unachievable using stock selections of glass, Vanceva® color by Saflex gives architects and design- ers more creative freedom with glass than ever before. Vanceva color interlayers can be combined to produce more than two thousand transparent, translucent or opaque color options to help create the desired tone and intensity. When Vanceva color interlayers are combined with tinted or reflective glass, the design possibilities are nearly limitless. No other interlayer brand delivers the complete spectrum of colors for laminated glass like Vanceva colors by Saflex. Used in curtain walls, atriums, sky- lights, partitions and conference rooms, Vanceva color interlayers allow the most expressive designs with distinctive hues from the subtle to the dramatic. Color Technology All Vanceva color interlayers are made with heat- and light-stable pigments instead of dyes to resist fading and have undergone vigorous durability testing to ensure long-term color stability. In fact, laminated glass made with Vanceva colored inter- layers delivers effective protection from harmful UV radiation, reduces solar energy transmittance and heat build up. The interlayers screen out up to 99% of damaging UV radiation up to 380 nm to help retard color fading and the deterioration of fabrics and furnishings. To determine the best Vanceva color configuration for your project, both spectrophotometer and visual color matching are used. The Vanceva® White Collection In both interior and exterior applications, Vanceva white interlayers complete the most dramatic designs allowing for total opacity for private settings or translucent designs to let the light shine in -- plus greater flexibility between the extremes.

    INVESTIGATING THE LEVEL OF APPLICATION/EDUCATION OF PASSIVE/NATURAL SYSTEMS IN THE DESIGN OF SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS IN THE US A Dissertation by MEHDI AZIZKHANI Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Jeff Haberl Committee Members, Liliana Beltran Zofia Rybkowski Wei Yan Head of Department, Robert Warden May 2019 Major Subject: Architecture Copyright 2019 Mehdi Azizkhani ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to examine the degree of adoption and education of the concepts of natural systems for heating, cooling, and lighting (i.e., passive systems) versus artificial/mechanical systems (i.e., active systems) in the design of sustainable buildings by practitioners and educators. In addition, this research investigates the variables that may increase/reduce the application of these systems in architectural designs. Natural systems use renewable energies or ambient conditions, while mechanical systems often use non-renewable energies to heat, cool, ventilate, and illuminate buildings. Although an extensive list of publications about natural systems exist, there are very few studies about the approaches/tools used by professionals for the design of natural systems in sustainable buildings. This research seeks to fill this gap through three methodologies, including: a content analysis, a case study, and a survey questionnaire to practitioners/educators. The findings show that there is a low percentage of the application of passive/natural systems in architecture design in the US. To promote the application of passive systems, the clients’ desire/collaboration, building code/rating systems, and simulation tools for passive design are the most influential factors according to a survey of the practitioners in the US.

They are being rolled out this week here in Chicago at the Greenbuild Conference, along with Version 2.0 of the RELi Rating System. Background The original LEED pilot credits on Resilient Design were introduced in November 2015 following a two-year development process led by Mary Ann Lazarus, FAIA and me.
