Lecture Objectives: Photo Voltaic & Solar Hot Water Systems Discuss HW3 Final Project

Internal Energy Loads New single family 2262 sf, 2-story home

Energy consumption in Austin’s residential house

You need to Modify Project 1 Modify Internal Loads Installed power and usage profile Lighting Miscellaneous Occupancy and fresh air requirement Loaner how to assign number of occupants

Other eQUEST issues Solar radiation calculation (detailed resuts) System – zone assignment Infiltration vs. ventilation (number of occupants) Internal loads (schedule) Operation time - seasons Thermostat setpoint ….

PV system Silicon crystal base Tin film

Hot Water Solar

Final project topics: Software (eQUEST, or BeOpt, EnergyPlus) based Your model bases (modeling in Matlab like in HWs 1&2) Energy analysis of building form Integrated design course Any other building or building system Impact of thermal mass on high rise buildings Residential commercial building optimization for different climate Thermostat reset impact …. Detail Modeling (your model) Heat recovery systems, Attic problem, Mass transfer (moisture,…) ….. Your ideas…
