Passive Heating and Cooling THE Golden Guild Karen Murphy, Jon Snow, Grant Senger, Audrey Wanstrath
Introduction: ● Background ● Relevance to History ● Significance ● Challenges faced ● Future of this technology
Background: ● Passive heating and cooling is a building design ○ Focused on innovation ○ Utilizes indoor climate control with low energy consumption
Relevance to History: In Germany 70 million square meters (1995) to 230 million square meters (2005). Rain water concrete cistern cycle. Benefit :Temperature is more stable than the ambient air temperature Avoids contamination of water. Setback: Weather Dependant (Kalz).
Relevance to History: In America Solar Chimney Benefits Reliable Cost Effective Setbacks Depends on Temperature Depends on Solar Energy (Maerefat).
Why is it significant? ● Estimated savings around 70% when compared to traditionally air conditioned buildings (Santamouris, Mattheos, and Dionysia Kolokotsa) ● No decrease in the comfort conditions of the buildings (Orosa, José A., and Armando C. Oliveira)
Where Passive Heating currently is? ● Many options when it comes to technologies that can be applied: ○ Permeable coverings (Orosa, José A., and Armando C. Oliveira) ○ The use of the ground as a heat sink (Santamouris, Mattheos, and Dionysia Kolokotsa) ○ Night time ventilation ○ Special roof systems as thermal buffers (Wong, N.h., and S. Li.) ○ Building orientation, i.e. North-South in sunny climates ○ Increasing the thickness of the external wall on the sides with the most sun exposure (east and west) ○ Automated window shading
Challenges : ● High initial cost ● More difficult to achieve desired temperatures in extreme climates ● Cistern - Generated more heat in comparison to cooling. ● Difficult to incorporate multiple technologies for climates with changing seasons
Future of Passive Heating and Cooling: More passive heating and cooling technologies will be developed and researched It will be used to control the climate in most new buildings
