Energy-10 Versions
From Green Garage Detroit
Versions of Energy-10 input / output that model our design process for the Green Garage
Contents
V1.0 - Existing
- Inputs
- Existing walls, floors, roof, windows (none)
- Existing heating system
- No Cooling
- Default lighting and other uses assuming office and warehouse uses
- Zone 1 = Historic Building (8,721sf)
- Zone 2 = Addition (2,720sf)
- Refinements (since initial run)
- Wall sizes
- Outputs
V2.0 - New Envelope (Heating only)
- Inputs
- New Envelop walls, floors, roof
- Windows: U = .27
- Heating = Gas radiant heaters
- No Cooling
- Ventilation??? (How does Energy-10 simulate the ventilation of space?)
- Default Lighting and Other Energy assuming office and warehouse uses
- Zone 1 = Historic Building (8,721sf)
- Zone 2 = Addition (2,720sf)
- Refinements (since initial run)
- Wall sizes
- WWF% using Laura's numbers
V2.5 - New Envelope (Heating + Cooling)
- Inputs
- New Envelope walls, floors, roof
- Windows: U = .27
- Heating = Gas furnace upgrade (Eliminates any distortion due to existing heaters)
- No Cooling
- Default Lighting and Other Energy assuming office and warehouse uses
- Area (sf)
- Zone 1 = Historic Building (8,721sf)
- Zone 2 = Addition (2,720sf)
- Refinements (since initial run)
- Wall sizes
- WWF% using Laura's numbers
V2.7 - New Envelope (Analysis of Cooling)
- Inputs
- New Envelope walls, floors, roof
- Windows: U = .27
- Heating = Gas furnace / DX Cooling
- Default Lighting and Other Energy assuming office and warehouse uses
- Zone 1 = Historic Building (8,721sf)
- Zone 2 = Addition (2,720sf)
- Analysis
- Examine Solar Gain - use window shading to block solar gain
- Examine heat from lighting - eliminate internal lighting
- Examine heat from other internal sources - eliminate other sources
- Try running simulation under "Free Run" which is the building without HVAC, ventilation, internal gains
- Refinements
- Wall sizes
- WWF% using Laura's numbers
- Outputs
V3.0 - Best Fit Model
- Inputs
- New Envelop walls, floors, roof
- Windows: U = .27
- Heating = Geothermal Heat Pump
- Cooling = Geothermal Heat Pump
- Other considerations
- Ventilation??? (How does Energy-10 simulate the ventilation of space?)
- Energy Recovery Unit - There is a note on how to "fake" the system to model this
- Earth-Air Tubes
- Daylighting
- First part is reducing the lighting load and heat gain ... assume 80% reduction
- Second part is estimating the daylight levels (fc)
- Solar Heating
- Can do the Domestic Hot Water component.
- Way to simulate heating component? Guess not
- Way to reflect radiant floor heating? Guess not
- Way to do thermal storage? Guess not
- Window Shading
- South windows: full shade Sep - Apr...partial May - Aug
- West windows: Partial shade from trees May - Sep; limited shading remainder of the year
- East windows full shade
- Ventilation??? (How does Energy-10 simulate the ventilation of space?)
- Default lighting and other uses assuming office and warehouse uses
- Zone 1 = Historic Building (8,721sf)
- Zone 2 = Addition (2,720sf)
- Refinements (since initial run)
- Wall sizes
- WWF% using Laura's numbers
