Energy Analysis Results and Discussion

AninterpretiveenergyanalysiscreatedinEnergy10directly influenced key decisionmaking concerningthe design of


the mechanical systems and building envelope materials used in our perform[D]ance House design. The computer
generated energy model was accomplished with the assistance of design studio instructor, Thomas Spiegelhalter at
FloridaInternationalUniversity.

Theprocessbeganbycreatingtwomodels.ThefirstmodelperformingastheReferenceCasewhichrepresentsahome
of similar size and proportion comparative to the proposed design specifications was modeled to represent
commonplace building construction practices and materiality. The second model is comparative to our benchmark,
representingtheinitialdesignparameterswiththeNanaWallconfigurationsontheeast,west,andnorthfacades.Italso
representstheconfigurationselectedforthewallandroofinsulationmaterials.Theresultsdemonstratedthattheinitial
designrequiredabout84%lessenergyinheatingand48%lessenergyincooling.Overallenergydemandwasreducedin
ourworkingdesignbyasmuchas52%comparedtotheReferenceCase.

The results of our initial findings suggested additional wall insulation increased Rvalue and the extension of wall
sections on the east and west facades prior to the analysis were sufficient in meeting code. The HVAC system was
sufficientlysimplifiedtoeliminatetheneedforductingsystemsandthenadjustedtothenecessarysizingasrequiredfor
theconditionedspace.Themodificationstothedesignallowforincreasedperformancewithoutsignificantlyimpacting
theexistingdesignintentionspursuedinthepreliminarydesign.
