  • The Hygrothermal Performance of Exterior Insulated Wall Systems
    The Hygrothermal Performance of Exterior Insulated Wall Systems by Trevor Trainor A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Civil Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 © Trevor Trainor 2014 Authors Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Trevor M. Trainor ii Abstract As energy certification programs and mandatory governmental building codes demand better building energy performance, the development of durable, highly insulated wall systems has become a top priority. Wood framed walls are the most common form of residential wall in North America and the materials used are vulnerable to moisture damage. This damage typically occurs first at the wall sheathing in the form of mould, fungal growth and rot. Increased thermal resistance can lead to two potential issues related to moisture durability: 1) increased potential for air leakage condensation at the sheathing and 2) decreased ability of the wall to dry after a wetting event. A natural exposure experimental study was performed at the University of Waterloo’s BEGHUT test facility to evaluate the hygrothermal performance of exterior insulated wall systems utilizing 3 different insulation types. These walls had approximately 2/3 of their total thermal resistance interior to the sheathing and 1/3 exterior to the sheathing. These walls were compared to a standard construction wall and a highly insulated double stud wall system.

Box 3226, Kathmandu, Nepal ISBN 92-9115 -099-1 Editorial Team: Greta Mary Rana (Senior Editor) Dharma R. Maharjan (Technical Support and Layout Design) Asha K. Thaku (Cartography and Design) Typesetting at ICIMOD Publications’ Unit The views and interpretations in this paper are those of the author(s). They are not attributable to the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and do not imply the expression of any opinion concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Foreword High altitude areas of the Hindu Kush-Himalayans are characterised by low ambient temperatures for most parts of the year. The inhabitants in this region rely on wood, agricultural residue, and animal waste to keep their houses warm, in particular dur- ing the winter season. The use of biomass has resulted in deforestation and ecological imbalances. Additionally the use of biomass for space heating without proper heating stoves severely affects the health of the occupants, especially women and children. There is therefore an urgent need to develop alternative options for space heating in the mountain areas of China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. ICIMOD, as an international institution committed to the development of mountain regions, recognised the need for appropriate design of buildings to help either to elimi- nate the use of fuels for space heating or reduce energy consumption.

Morse in 1881. The turning point in passive solar research was provided by the first passive conference held in Albuquerque in 1976. This was the result of an energy crisis that generated renewed interest in those aspects of solar energy which contributed to thermal comfort in buildings without or with little conventional energy inputs. As a consequence, solar passive and low-energy building technologies are today recognised as a distinct discipline. There are many solar passive and low-energy buildings all around the world today. Many new buildings that are presently being planned/constructed throughout the globe bear ample testimony to the success of solar passive and low-energy building technologies in cold climates. ADVANCED MATERIALS FOR PASSIVE BUILDINGS New and improved materials are often crucial to technological or cost breakthrough and solar energy is no exception. For this reason, special attention has been given to the investigation of a variety of innovative materials that promise to bring about dramatic improvements in the performance and reliability of solar passive and low- energy buildings. Many of these new materials increase the insulation capability of the building envelope through special window glazing or building facade covers that reduce thermal losses or minimise unwanted solar gains, offering the possibility of acting as translucent systems to admit sunlight but reduce heat losses.

  • Solar Energy for Passive House Design
    International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) ISSN: 2278-0181 Vol. 3 Issue 1, January - 2014 Solar Energy for Passive House Design Dr. Amit Kumar Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Patna - 800005, Bihar, India, Abstract Solar energy from the sun has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever- evolving technologies. Solar radiation, along with secondary solar-powered resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass accounts for most of the available renewable energy on earth. The Earth receives 174 petawatts (PW) of incoming solar radiation at the upper atmosphere and only a minuscule fraction of the available solar energy is being used. A partial list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, potable water via distillation and disinfection, day lighting, solar hot water, solar cooking. Solar technologies may be broadly characterised as either passive or active depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute sunlight. Sunlight has influenced building design since the beginning of architectural history. The common features of passive solar architecture are orientation relative to the Sun, compact proportion (a low surface area to volume ratio), selective shading (overhangs) and thermal mass. When these features are tailored to the local climate and environment they can produce well-lit spaces that stay in a comfortable temperature range. The paper presents various aspects of passive solar building design concept and design elements for residential buildings in temperate climate. If passive solar building design is adopted on large scale, it is likely to restrict the formation of Urban Heat Island.

  • WP2.3 and 2.4 Definition of NZEB-Competencies for Target Groups
    WP2.3 and 2.4 Definition of NZEB-competencies for target groups In WP2.3 and 2.4 of the NET-UBIEP project competencies on energy performance are mapped to the defined target groups, public administration, professionals, technicians and owners. To do so, NET-UBIEP build upon the earlier work of the PROF/TRAC-project. In PROF/TRAC for each NZEB technology a qualification scheme is developed, which describes needed competencies that are needed in NZEB projects. The technologies and interdisciplinary competencies are based on the outcomes of the competencies mapping, performed in WP2 of PROF/ TRAC. Also the needed competencies levels for each work field are based on the outcomes of the competencies mappings by experts. To clarify the distinction between the two projects, the Net-UBIEP modified texts are displayed in red. The PROF/TRAC Qualification Scheme on nZEB skills constitutes a solid basis to compare the nZEB skills requested to different professions across Europe and to the same profession from one country to the other. It defines of i) harmonized work fields, ii) nZEB skills, iii) nZEB skills levels, iv) description of qualifications across Europe. More information about the construction of this Qualifcation can be found in a public PROF/TRAC report D3.2 PROF-TRAC_D3.2 explaining the nZEB Qualification structure Based on the minimum required competence level for a work field, the corresponding competencies can be found in the table of each technology. In NET-UBIEP the minimum advised competencies level for each target group is given under the Tab "EU minimum competencie levels for TG" (This is D2.3).

The choice of a certain strategy, as well as determining the appropriate cooling schemes for such a context becomes of prime importance in developing the optimum energy conscious building design. The motivation for working in this area of research stems for the need facing architects to start developing a serious sense for energy considerations in their architectural design, especially in existing and multi-storey buildings.
