Winter 2008 Graduate Studio/ Summer 2008 Integrated Design Lab research for the Living Building Investigation
Site Produced Energy:
Integration of systems for energy supply
Topics
• Solar Thermal
-integration of panel and evacuated tube collectors
-predicting energy for heating and/or domestic hot water
• Photovoltaics: Crystalline and Thin Film
-roof: racks, roof integrated
-walls: sun shades, envelope integrated
Design/Performance Objective
To integrate PV and solar thermal systems into the form and fabric of the building.
Investigative Strategy
Use site shading masks to determine solar access, and PV Watts to estimate the electricity generation potential of integrated PVs.
Evaluation Process
Present evidence documenting the design and predicted performance of active systems for mechanical control.
