Energy-10 Versions

Versions of Energy-10 input / output that model our design process for the Green Garage

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

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

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

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
- 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
