Introduction• Building Configuration and Placement • Design Tools • Passive Solar (includes passive solar heating,

passive solar cooling, thermal storage, daylighting)

• Building Envelope • Active Solar and Photovoltaic Systems • Appliances & Equipment • Lighting • Building Materials

3Training Course for ISRO Civil Engineering Division at Bangalore

Introduction• Establishing a base case—for example, a

performance profile showing energy use and costs for a typical facility that complies with code and other measures for the project type, location, size, etc.

• Identifying a range of solutions—all those that appear to have potential for the specific project.

• Evaluating the performance of individual strategies—one by one through sensitivity analysis or a process of elimination parametrics

4Training Course for ISRO Civil Engineering Division at Bangalore

• Grouping strategies that are high performers into different combinations to evaluate performance.

• Selecting strategies, refining the design, and reiterating the analysis throughout the process.

• design teams often make incremental changes that are effective and result in high-performance buildings.

Building Configuration and Placement

– Solar accessibility should be a part of site analysis.

– Orienting the building – "skin to volume" ratio of the building– perimeter daylighting– Compromise the thermal performance of

the building, the electrical load and cooling load savings

Passive Solar Design

•Passive Solar Heating

•Passive Solar Cooling

•Thermal Storage

•Daylighting

8Training Course for ISRO Civil Engineering Division at Bangalore

Passive solar design - challenging

•Can natural daylighting reduce the need for electric light?

•If less electric light generates less heat, will there be a lower cooling load?

•If the cooling load is lower, can the fans be smaller?

•Will natural ventilation allow fans and other cooling equipment to be turned off at times?

9Training Course for ISRO Civil Engineering Division at Bangalore

•Climate (sun, wind, air temperature, and humidity)

•Building orientation (glazing and room layout)

•Building use type (occupancy schedules and use profiles)

•Lighting and daylighting (electric and natural light sources)

•Building envelope (geometry, insulation, fenestration, air leakage, ventilation, shading, thermal mass, color)

•Internal heat gains (from lighting, office equipment, machinery, and people)

•HVAC (plant, systems, and controls)

•Energy costs (fuel source, demand charges, conversion efficiency).

The ProblemThe Problem• an optimum design is based on

minimizing life-cycle cost: the sum of solar system first-cost and life-cycle operating costs

• 19th century contrivances that seemed to serve our parents and grandparents so well are attracting our attention today.

• Cost and technical analyses
