IN THIS CHAPTER I WILL BE DISCUSSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS AND NATURE. AND HOW TO PASS THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY TOWARDS RESILIENCE TO ACHIEVE A CONNECTION BETWEEN BUILDINGS, NATURE AND CULTURE. I WILL BE ADDRESSING SOME ISSUES FOR PASSIVE DESIGN AND RENEWABLE ENERGY THROUGH SOME LECTURES FROM ARCHITECTS SUCH AS “SIM VAN DER RYN”. I WILL BE FEATURING THE WORK OF ARTISTS LIKE NUNZIO PACI WHO THEIR WORK REFLECTS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS, AND NATURE,“TRANSFORMATION,” KEYNOTE’ CASCADIA GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL, SEATTLE, WA, 2009 A LECTURES BY SIM VAN DER RYN THE TRANSFORMATION WE ARE ENGAGED IN IS TRANS- FORMING THE WORLD WE NOW LIVE IN TOWARDS ONE THAT CONTINUES THE GIFT OF LIFE TO OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS AND ALL OTHER FORMS OF LIFE WITH WHICH WE SHARE THIS PLANET. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY, WHAT WAS ALWAYS ASSUMED AS A CERTAINTY IS NO LONGER CERTAIN. THE QUESTION IS NO SAVING THE PLANET. THE QUESTION IS CAN WE REDESIGN HUMAN LIFE TO RESTORE THE PLANET'S ABILITY TO. SUPPORT AND SUSTAIN US? WE ALL HEAR THE CONTINUES DRUM ROLL OF DEPRESSING PLANETARY NEWS. TONIGHT I WANT TO TAKE YOU ON A RAMBLE THROUGH THE LAND- SCAPE OF OUR HUMAN STORY, SOME THINGS I'VE LEARNED, WHERE WE ARE NOW, WHAT WE CAN DO, AND WHAT WE CAN LEARN. "THE GREAT TURNING" IS A NAME FOR THE ESSENTIAL AD- VENTURE OF OUR TIME: THE SHIFT FROM THE INDUSTRIAL GROWTH SOCIETY TO A LIFE-SUSTAINING CIVILIZATION, 13.I'VE BEEN ON THIS DESIGN JOURNEY FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, BOUNCING THROUGH HOPE, SOME ACCOMPLISH- MENTS, AND OCCASIONAL DESPAIR AS THE QUESTION IS ALWAYS THERE, "CAN WE DO IT?" FORTY YEARS AGO EF.- SCHUMACHER GAVE US A USEFUL ANSWER: CAN WE RELY ON IT THAT A'TURNING AROUND’ WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY ENOUGH PEOPLE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO SAVE THE MODERN WORLD? THIS QUESTION IS OFTEN ASKED, BUT WHATEVER ANSWER IS GIVEN TO IT WILL MISLEAD, THE ANSWER "YES" WOULD LEAD TO COMPLACENCY; THE ANSWER "NO" TO DESPAIR. IT'S DESIRABLE TO LEAVE THESE PERPLEXITIES BEHIND US AND GET DOWN TO WORK.THE ECO-LOGIC STORY A FEW TRENDS: ECOSYSTEMS: FRESH WATER, OCEANS, FORESTS, SOILS, WETLANDS ENERGY: 16 TRILLION WATTS TOTAL GLOBAL ENERGY DEMAND. ALMOST ALL FROM CARBON SOURCES ... IF WE WANT TO CAP CARBON AT 450 PPM BY 2035 WE WILL HAVE TO REDUCE TO ONLY 3 TRILLION WATTS FROM CARBON (STEWART BRANDS: WHOLE EARTH DISCIPLINE). CITIES: A BILLION PEOPLE LIVE IN INFORMAL SQUATTER CITIES MOSTLY IN DEVELOPING WORLD. POPULATION: BIRTH RATE IN DEVELOPED WORLD CONTINUING TO FALL TOGETHER WITH AGING POPULATION.

WITH THE "S" WORD-SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES-IN 1986 (NOW BACK IN PRINT THROUGH NEW SOCIETY PUBLISHERS). IN THE INTRODUCTION, I WROTE, SUSTAINABILITY IS DEFINED BY ITS CONTEXT. SUSTAINABILITY IMPLIES THAT THE USE OF ENERGY AND MATERIALS IN AN URBAN AREA BE IN BALANCE WITH WHAT THE REGION CAN SUPPLY CONTINUOUSLY THROUGH NATURAL PROCESSES SUCH AS PHOTOSYNTHESIS, BIOLOGICAL DECOMPOSITION, AND THE BIOCHEMICAL AND NATURAL ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES THAT SUPPORT LIFE. THE IMMEDIATE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS PRINCI- PLE ARE VASTLY REDUCED ENERGY BUDGET FOR CITIES, AND A SMALLER, MORE COMPACT URBAN PATTERN INTERSPERSED WITH PRODUCTIVE AREAS TO COLLECT ENERGY, GROW CROPS, AND RECYCLE WASTES. "SAVING THE PLANET, "GREEN," "SUS- TAINABLE" ARE WARM, FUZZY, TERMS WITHOUT CLEARLY SHARED MEANING, VALUES, AND ACTIONS. WHAT IS MEANT BY TERMS SUCH AS "GREEN" AND "SUSTAINABLE" IS FAR FROM TRANSPARENT AND TOO OFTEN BECOMES AN EXCUSE NOT TO ADDRESS FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES. 16THE USE OF THE TERM "SUSTAINABILITY" GIVES USA FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY IN THAT IT IMPLIES THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THROUGH TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE TO DESIGN OUR WAY OUT OF LARGER PROCESSES OF ECO- LOGICAL COLLAPSE AND CLIMATE CHAOS. THE THREE "R"S FOR TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY DESIGN ARE RESTO- RATION, REGENERATION, AND RESILIENCY. THIS MEANS INTEGRATING BUILDING DESIGN WITHIN A LARGER CONTEXT OF COMMUNITY DESIGN AND THE INTEGRAL ECOLOGICAL DESIGN OF FOOD, WATER, ENERGY, AND RECYCLING SYSTEMS AT EVERY SCALE. MOST OF TO- DAY'S MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS KNOW THE MANTRA INTO THEIR AWARENESS iTHE INTERACTIONS AMONG THE NATURAL WORLD AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT ON AN URBAN, REGIONAL, AND GLOBAL. SCALE ARE FAR TOO COMPLEX TO LEND THEMSELVES TO. SIMPLE METRICS SUCH AS TERM "SUSTAINABILITY" SUGGESTS. WE KNOW THE BIG DRIVERS-POLLUTANTS SUCH AS CO2 AND THOUSANDS OF TOXINS IN OUR SOIL, WATER, AND BODIES. WE KNOW CLIMATE HAS TURNED WEIRD AND UNPREDICTABLE. WE KNOW REMAINING STOCKS OF OIL, GAS, AND COAL HAVE PEAKED AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY FROM SUN, WIND, AND BIOMASS CONVERSION. WE KNOW THAT THE SUBURBAN DREAM IS TURNING INTO A NIGHT- MARE THAT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS ROTTING AWAY THAT IN SPITE OF THE WORK OF MANY GOOD PEOPLE, KEY ECOSYS- TEMS-FORESTS, WETLANDS, GOOD SOIL, FRESH WATER, AND OCEAN LIFE- ARE ENDANGERED WORLDWIDE. WE LIVE IN DE- SCRIPTIONS OF REALITY, NOT REALITY ITSELF. RIGID STRUC- TURES-MENTAL AND PHYSICAL-ARE UNSTABLE BECAUSE THEY DON'T ADAPT EASILY TO CHANGE. WHAT WE NEED TO CREATE RESILIENT COMMUNITIES. 18WHAT DOES THAT’S MEAN? QUOTING FROM MY DICTIONARY, "RESILIENT" MEANS "SPRING BACK, REBOUND, AND THE ABILI- TY TO RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL FORM AFTER HAVING BEEN COMPRESSED OR STRETCHED... RECOVERY FROM ILLNESS, DE- PRESSION, ADVERSITY." I'VE CALLED IT DIFFERENT THINGS AT DIFFERENT TIMES BUT MY LIFETIME BELIEF HAS BEEN THAT ARCHITECTURE IS MORE THAN FORM AND FUNCTION. IT'S ABOUT INTEGRATION OF ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT ALLOW BUILDINGS TO BE WHAT THEY ARE-ORGANISMS, AND CITIES TO BE COMPLEX ECOSYSTEMS. I WAS DEEPLY INFLUENCED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL IN THE FIFTIES BY BECOMING A MEMBER OF THE NEWLY CREATED WHOLE SYSTEMS SOCIETY THAT WAS TRYING TO DEVELOP MORE WHOLISTIC APPROACHES TO THE SCIENCES. BUCKY FULLER WHOM | STUDIED WITH OPENED MY EYES TO DESIGN BEYOND THE BUILDING ENVELOPE TO CONSIDER ALL THE FORCES THAT SHAPE AN ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT WHICH NEI- THER BUILDINGS NOR WE CAN LIVE. 20WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THE DESIGN FOR A BUILDING OR A CITY HAS TO DESIGN FOR AND INTEGRATE THE FLOW OF ENERGY, WATER, WASTE, FOOD, CHARACTERISTICS OF LAND, PLACE, CULTURE, AND HISTORY INTO ITS DESIGN. ORGANISMS AND ECOSYSTEMS ALSO CHANGE AND EVOLVE OVER TIME AND THAT'S ALSO PART OF THE EQUATION. SUSTAINABILITY IS STATIC. RESILIENCY IS DYNAMIC. WE ARE WITNESSING THE COLLAPSE OF LARGE CENTRALIZED SYS- TEMS FROM FINANCE, THE GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM, TRANS- PORT, THE GLOBAL FISHERIES, SHORTAGES OF FRESH WATER, INCREASING REGIONAL WARS OVER RESOURCES, AND OF COURSE CLIMATE WEIRDNESS BEYOND OUR WILDEST NIGHT- MARES. FOR ALL THESE REASONS, REGIONS, MAJOR CITIES, SMALL CITIES, TOWNS, AND RURAL AREAS NEED TO REDESIGN, THEMSELVES WITH THE GOAL OF RESILIENCY FROM THE BOTTOM UP. OUR URBAN SKYSCRAPERS CAN USE TRANSPAR- ENT NANO-SOLAR CELLS TO PRODUCE TO PRODUCE ENERGY, GROW FOOD, AND SEQUESTER CARBON, RECLAIM AND RECY- CLE WATER. aiPARKING LOT'S CAN BE TURNED INTO PARKS AND SITES TO STORE RUN-OFF, ROOF GARDENS EVERYWHERE. LITERALLY GREEN CITIES AND TOWNS. THE NEW RURALISM WILL JOIN WITH THE NEW URBANISM TO BRING A GREATER LEVEL OF RE- SILIENCE AND AWARENESS THROUGH FOOD PRODUCTION IN CITIES. LOCAL ENERGY AND FOOD AND LOCAL ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY INTEGRATED WITH A FLUID GLOBAL ECON- OMY. LEAPING OVER LEED BUILDING TO LIVING BUILDINGS EV- ERY WHERE!!! TRANSFORMING THE PRESENT THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT OF HUMANITY IS NOT ITS WORKS OF ART, SCIENCE , OR TECHNOLOGY, BUT THE RECOGNI- TION OF ITS OWN DYSFUNCTION, ITS OWN MADNESS ...

THE EGO IS DESTINED TO DISSOLVE AND ALL ITS OSSIFIED STRUCTURES WHETHER THEY ARE INSTITUTIONS CORPORATIONS, OR GOV- ERNMENTS WILL DISINTEGRATE FROM WITHIN ...

YET, THE DESIGN PROBLEMS WE FACE CONSIST OF MULTI DIMENSIONAL, COMPLEX SYSTEMS ISSUES THAT CROSS TRADITIONAL DISCIPLINES AND KNOWLEDGE SETS.

CONSTRUCT A BUILDING USING THE NATURAL MOVE- MENT OF HEAT AND AIR, PASSIVE SOLAR GAIN AND COOLING IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A GOOD INTERNAL COMFORT. THROUGH THE USE OF PASSIVE SOLUTIONS IT IS POSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE, OR AT LEAST REDUCE, THE USE OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS AND THE ENERGY DEMAND BY 80% AS WELL AS THE CO2 EMISSIONS BUILDING A PASSIVE HOUSE TAKES CAREFUL PLANNING, WHICH INCLUDES THE INTRODUCTION OF FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES: - ORIENTATION - OVERHANGS AND SHADINGS - INSULATION - DOUBLE OR TRIPLE GLAZING - THERMAL MASS » FOLLOWING BELOW IN MORE DETAIL THE EXPLANATION OF EACH PASSIVE DESIGN PRINCIPLE: 26ORIENTATION THE FIRST BASIC PRINCIPLE IN A PASSIVE HOUSE IS THE ORIENTATION, IN WHICH THE SOUTHERN FACADE OF THE BUILDING SHOULD BE ORIENTED TOWARDS THE EQUATOR IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE (AND THE NORTHERN FACADE TOWARDS THE NORTH IN THE SOUTH- ERN HEMISPHERE BY FACING THE LONGER AXIS OF THE BUILDING IN THE EAST/WEST DIRECTION, THE LONGER DIMENSION OF THE HOME FACES WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO GAIN THE, MAXIMUM SOLAR RADIATION. FOR THAT REASON, AREAS WHICH ARE MOST FREQUENTLY USED, SUCH AS THE KITCHEN AND THE LIVING ROOM, MUST BE LOCATED INTO THIS PART OF THE BUILDING. THIS ORIENTATION IS ALSO ADVANTAGEOUS FOR SUMMER COOLING CONDITIONS BECAUSE IT MINIMIZES THE EAST-WEST FACADES TO MORNING AND AFTERNOON SUNLIGHT. \ ai 27OVERHANGS AND SHADING THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPE OF SHADING DEVICES, BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE A GENERALIZATION OF THEIR DESIGN. HOWEVER, SOME GENERAL RECOMMENDA- TIONS HAVE BEEN LISTED JUST BELOW: ~TO CONTROL DIRECT SOLAR RADIATION IN THE SOUTH FACADE USE FIXED OVERHANGS ~ LIMIT THE NUMBER OF EAST AND WEST WINDOWS BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO SHADE COMPARED TO THE SOUTH SIDE. MAYBE SOME CONSIDERATION OF THE SURROUNDED LANDSCAPE, SUCH AS TYPE OF TREE THAT MIGHT BE USED TO SHADE — NORTH FACADE CAN BE OUT OF SHADING AS IT RECEIVES. VERY LITTLE DIRECT SOLAR RADIATION INTERIOR SHADING DEVICES, SUCH AS VENETIAN BLINDS OR VERTICAL LOUVRES, MIGHT BE USED IN ORDER TO CONTROL GLARE, HOWEVER EXTERIOR SHADINGS MUST BE INCLUDED SINCE THE INTERIOR ONES HAVE ALREADY ADMITTED THE SOLAR GAIN IN 28SHADING CONCEPT Summer winter im CONCEPT "Hr @222 OF SHADING DEVICES vt. ews ® Piddteerr: a2 2S 5INSULATION THE R-VALUE CHANGES ACCORDING TO THE MATERIAL TYPE, ITS DENSITY AND THICKNESS AND IT IS AFFECTED BY THERMAL BRIDGING. THERMAL BRIDGING REPRESENTS THE UNWANTED HEAT FLOW THAT COMES INSIDE THE BUILDING THROUGH JOINTS, STUDS AND RAFTERS. THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE BEST INSULATION THERMAL BRIDGES MUST BE AVOIDED. THEREFORE, THE BUILDING ENVELOPE MUST BE GREATLY INSU- LATED, ESPECIALLY TO WHAT CONCERN EXTERNAL STRUCTURAL WALLS, BECAUSE BY DOING SO: - THERMAL BRIDGES ARE ELIMINATED BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LONGER INTERRUPTIONS CAUSED BY FLOOR SLABS - HEAT GAINED FROM THE SUN IS DISSIPATED IN THE CAVITY AND. VENTILATED THROUGHOUT OPENINGS - TEMPERATURE SWINGS ARE DRASTICALLY REDUCED THERE ARE MANY TYPE OF INSULATION MATERIAL WHICH MIGHT BE USED IN A PASSIVE HOUSE, SUCH AS CELLULOSE, COTTON, FI- BERGLASS, POLYURETHANE, MINERAL WOOL, PERLITE AND SHEEP'S WOOL 30CELLULOSE INSULATION COTTON INSULATIN PERLITE INSULATION ROCKWOOL INSULATION MINERAL WOOL "4 eb WOOL INSULATION JS, ‘ 31WINDOWS GLAZED SURFACES PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN A PASSIVE HOUSE BECAUSE THEY SERVE AS SOLAR COLLECTORS BRINGING IN LIGHT AND HEAT WHILE ALSO PROVIDING NATURAL VENTILATION THE WAY HOW WINDOWS ARE POSITIONED, IN RELATION TO THE LANDSCAPE, THE WIND AND THE MOVEMENT OF THE SUN CAN EFFECTIVELY INCREASE THE ENERGY EFFICIENT AND PROVIDE A GOODINTERNAL COMFORT. THE BASIC ROLE REGARDING WINDOWS IN A PASSIVE HOUSE ISTHE SOUTHERN POSITION BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THEM TO COLLECT WARM SOLAR ENERGY WHEN HEAT IS NEEDED, OR VICE VERSA TO LET FRESH AIR IN WHEN IS NEEDED. LOCATING THE MAJORITY OF GLAZED SURFACES ON THE SOUTH- ERN FACADE HELPS IN ACHIEVING THE MAXIMUM SOLAR GAIN AND REDUCE THE ONES IN THE NORTHERN FACADE HELPS FOR THE INSULATION OFTHE BUILDING AGAINST WINTER COLD.ALSO THE TYPE OF GLAZING IS A KEY FEATURE CONSIDERING INSULATION ISSUES. FOR THAT REASON, THE PASSIVE HOUSE STANDARDS REC- OMMEND TO USE DOUBLE (OR TRIPLE IF NEEDED, ACCORDING TO THE LOCATION) GLAZING WHICH HELPS IN REDUCING HEAT LOSSES THROUGH THE WINDOWS. 32THE GLAZING MUST HAVE A LOW EMISSIVITY GLASS(LOW-E), WHICH INCLUDES A METAL OXIDE COATING, IN ONE OF THE INTERNAL PANES, NEXT TO THE GAP. THROUGH THAT, THE GLAZING CAN LET IN THE SUNLIGHT AND HEAT, WHILE AT THE SAME MOMENT BLOCKS THE HEAT FROM LEAVING THE INTERIOR SPACE, OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE HEAT LOSS. » DOUBLE GLAZING: HAS TWO LAYERS OF GLASS WITH A GAP BETWEEN THEM OF AROUND 16 MM (ARGON GAS FILLING). » TRIPLE-GLAZING: HAS TREE LAYER OF GLASS, WITH ARGON OR KRYPTON GAS FILLED BETWEEN GLAZINGS, AND LOW- CONDUCTANCE EDGE SPACES. IT HAS A VERY LOW HEAT LOSS RATE (LOW UFACTOR) TYPICAL TRIPLE GLAZED UNIT WITH PLANITHERM TOTAL+ 4 a e Argon filled ovrsIDE INSIDE ‘Super ‘Spacer bar 33THERMAL MASS THE CONCEPT OF THERMAL MASS REGARDS A SOLID OR LIQUID MATERIAL WHICH ABSORBS AND STORE WARMTH AND RELEASES IT WHEN IS NEEDED. BY MEANS THAT, THE EXCESS SOLAR HEAT GAIN CAN BE STORED AND USED WHEN THE SUN IS NOT SHINING OR WHERE THERE IS NO SUN AT ALL, AS DURING THE NIGHT. IT ACTUALLY WORKS AS A BATTERY BECAUSE DURING THE SUMMER SEASON IT ABSORBS HEAT KEEPING THE HOUSE COMFORTABLE, WHILE IN WINTER IT STORES THE HEAT GAINED AND GIVES IT BACK AT NIGHT KEEPING THE HOUSE WARM. BASI- CALLY IN A PASSIVE HOUSE A THERMAL MASS CAN WORK IN TWO WAYS: BY DIRECT SOLAR GAIN OR BY INDIRECT SOLAR GAIN. A THERMAL MASS COULD MODERATE THE TEMPERATURE OF INTERNAL SPACES, REDUCING THE NEED FOR MECHANICAL COOLING AND WINTER HEATING REQUIREMENTS AND THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE METHOD NORMALLY IS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THERMAL MASS IN THE BUILDING STRUCTURE. 34RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS INTEGRATION ANOTHER IMPORTANT ISSUE REGARDING SUSTAINABLE BUILDING IS THE INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS INTO THE BUILDING AT THE VERY EARLY STAGE OF THE DESIGN PROCESS. BY MEANS THAT, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER WHICH TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE MORE SUITABLE ACORDING TO THE SITE CONDITIONS AND THE BUILDING STRUCTURE. ARENEWABLE SYSTEM INTEGRATED INTO THE BUILDING, SUCH AS PVS AND SOLAR COLLECTOR, REPRESENTS A GOOD PRACTICE THAT HAS MANY ADVANTAGEOUS ASPECTS, SUCH AS: = IT WORKS AS BOTH BUILDING ENVELOPE MATERIAL AND ENERGY GENERATOR = IT SAVES IN MATERIALS AND ENERGY COSTS. = IT DRASTICALLY REDUCES CO2 EMISSIONS = IT ACTUALLY ADDS ARCHITECTURAL VALUE TO THE BUILDING AS WELL AS PROVIDING A PUBLIC EXPRESSION OF SUSTAINABLEPV AND IN SOME CASE SOLAR PANELS, ARE USED TO CONSTRUCT PART OF THE BUILDING AND THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN SEVERAL FORMS.ACCORDING TO THE ENVELOPE IN WHICH THEY WILL BE INTEGRATED, THEY CAN BE AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT TYPES, SUCH AS: » A THIN FILM SOLAR CELL INTEGRATED INTO A FLEXIBLE POLYMER ROOFING MEMBRANE SUITABLE FOR FLAT ROOFS =» MODULES ROOF TILES, SOLAR SHINGLES AND PANELS NORMALLY USED IN PITCHED ROOFS » SOLAR MODULES MOUNTED ON THE FACADE OF THE BUILDING » (SEMI)TRANSPARENT MODULES USED TO REPLACE ARCHITECTURAL COMPONENTS MADE WITH GLASS, SUCH AS WINDOWS OR SKYLIGHTS, THAT CAN WORK AS WELL AS SHADING. 36OF COURSE THESE WERE SOME OF THE ISSUES FOR THIS STAGE OF MY RESEARCH, MORE WILL BE REVEALED IN A LATER STAGE.

HOW IS THIS ACHIEVED? FIRST, THE BUILDING ENVELOPE IS DE- SIGNED TO REDUCE WHAT IS KNOWN AS ENERGY DEMAND, THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY REQUIRED TO RUN THE HOUSE REGARDLESS OF THE EFFICIENCY OF THE AP- PLIANCES AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS. SECOND, THE EQUIPMENT USED TO RUN THE HOUSE MUST BE SIZED TO MATCH THIS DEMAND WHILE USING THE LEAST AMOUNT OF ENERGY POSSIBLE.MASTER BEDROOM 100% LIVING ROOM DAILY ENERGY CONSUMPTIONHIGHLY EFFICIENT ENVELOPE TO ACHIEVE A HIGHLY EFFICIENT ENVELOPE , THE SURE HOUSE IS EMPLOYING FOUR MAIN STRATEGIES IN ITS. CONSTRUCTION THAT SET IT APART FROM A TYPICAL, HOME. 1. SUPER-INSULATION ONE OF THE MAIN TENANTS THAT THE PASSIVE HOUSE IDEA WAS BUILT ON WAS THE NEED FOR UNUSUALLY HIGH AMOUNTS OF INSULATION IN BUILDING ASSEM- BLIES. THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE: PUT IN THE UPFRONT COST TO HAVE THICKER WALLS, ROOFS AND FLOORS AND REDUCE HEAT FLOW INTO OR OUT OF THE HOUSE, REDUC- ING CONDITIONING COSTS.

F/BTU) a2- INTELLIGENT DETAIL DESIGN THE WEAKEST POINT IN ANY BUILDING ENVELOPE WILL ALWAYS BE AT THE CONNECTION DETAILS —- THE CORNERS OF THE BUILDING AS WELL AS ANY SEAMS WHERE TWO DIFFERENT MATERIALS MUST BE CONNECTED SUCH AS. WINDOW FRAMES. THESE AREAS HAVE SUCH A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR ENERGY LOSS FOR TWO REASONS: AIR. LEAKAGE AND A CONDITION KNOWN AS “THERMAL BRIDGING” 483-ENERGY RECOVERY VENTILATION WHEN DESIGNING A HOME WITH THE REQUIRED AIR-TIGHTNESS OF A PASSIVE HOUSE, IT IS VERY POSSI- BLE TO ENCOUNTER ISSUES WITH INDOOR AIR QUALITY BECAUSE OF A LACK OF VENTILATION TO THE SPACE. THEREFORE MECHANICAL VENTILATION MUST BE ADDED, WHICH GIVES THE DESIGNER THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE FLOW OF AIR INTO AND OUT OF THE HOUSE UNLIKE A TRADITIONAL HOME WHERE AIR FLOWS FREELY. TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THIS CON- TROL, THE USE OF AN ERV (ENERGY RECOVERY VENTILA- TION) SYSTEM IS ADVISED. ENERGY RECOVERY ‘GE FRESH COLD AIR «9 MN sFRESH WARM AIR = ER Ss STALE COLD AIR) = STALE WARM AIR 4g4-SOLAR CONTROL IN THE CASE OF THE SURE HOUSE HOWEVER, A STATION- ARY SHADING STRATEGY IS BEING USED, REQUIRING A GREAT DEAL OF ANALYSIS TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE GET- TING ENOUGH SHADING IN THE SUMMER AND NOT SHAD- ING TOO MUCH IN THE WINTER. THE COMBINATION OF OUR SHUTTER AND LOUVER SYSTEM HELPS TO KEEP OUT THE HIGH SUMMER SUN AS WELL AS THE LOWER AFTER- NOON AND MORNING RAYS THAT CAN OFTEN HAVE A GREAT EFFECT ON INDOOR TEMPERATURE. WITHOUT IN- TELLIGENT SHADING, A HIGHLY GLAZED HOME CAN QUICKLY BECOME A GREENHOUSE OVEN 50BUILDING INTEGRATED SOLAR PANELS (BIPV) REFERS TO SOLAR ELEMENTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY AN ESSENTIAL PART OF A BUILDING.
