  1. Preliminary Design Review • Tony Burnette • Trevor Fitch • Sheryl Gillow • Sigitas Rimkus • Simon Stam

  2. PDR Agenda • Introduction • Foundation Analysis • Roof Truss Analysis • Hydronic Subsystem Analysis • Building Thermal Analysis • Solar Collector Analysis

  3. Introduction

  5. Foundation Analysis

  6. Soil Properties Data Courtesy of: “Soil Survey of Du Page County, IL” Natural Resources Conservation Service, 1981

  7. Properties of Concrete Data Courtesy of: “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary” ACI Committee 318, 2008

  8. Foundation Profile

  9. Insulating Concrete Forms • Rigid plastic foam forms • Hold concrete in place during curing • Serve as thermal insulation after the concrete sets Image Courtesy of: www.pouredfoundations.com

  10. ICF Benefits • Energy savings • Qualifies for a tax credit • Increases interior comfort • Controls moisture, air leaks, mold, and pests • Reduces sound transmissions • Ease of finishing the basement • Drywall can be nailed directly to foam • Cost competitive with poured concrete • Environmentally friendly

  11. ICF Drawbacks • Installation costs may be higher than traditional concrete • Insect problems may occur if installed incorrectly • Relatively unknown to officials and inspectors

  12. Roof Truss Analysis

  13. Loads on Roof • All roofing materials • Flat plate collectors • Snow • Wind load

  14. Pairwise Comparison

  15. Design Compromises • Number of trusses • Desired factor of safety • Beam thickness • Theoretical load estimate • Durability • Insulation

  19. Hydronic Subsystem Analysis

  20. Goals • Provide domestic hot water at 150 °F • Prevent freezing of working fluid

  21. Piping Options • Copper • PVC

  22. System Options • Purchase a kit • Kit contains almost everything needed for the hydronic system • Extra parts can be purchased if needed • Purchase all components individiually

  23. Recommendations • Copper piping • Glycol based working fluid • Water tank with a heat exchanger

  24. Building Thermal Analysis

  27. Insulation

  29. Insulation Types • Blankets • Standard “Pink Panther” insulation • Available in standard sizes • Loose-Fill • Same material as blanket insulation • Blown into hard to reach areas • Rigid-Foam • Very effective in tight spaces and cold climates • Up to twice as insulating as blanket insulation • Foam-in-Place • Same material as rigid-foam insulation • Used around window and door frames

  31. Windows

  33. Window Frames • Metal Frames • Light and almost maintenance free • Very poor insulating material • Composite Frames • Same structural and thermal properties as wood • Resist moisture and decay • Fiberglass Frames • Can be filled with insulation • Superior thermal performance to wood or vinyl • Vinyl Frames • Good thermal performance and low maintenance • Tendency to crack in temperature extremes • Paint fades in sunlight • Wood Frames • Insulate fairly well • Require a lot of maintenance • Susceptible to moisture and decay

  34. Window Glazing and Glass • Gas Fills • Heat-Absorbing Tints • Insulated • Low-Emissivity Coatings • Reflective Coatings • Spectrally Selective Coatings

  35. Doors

  36. Exterior Doors • Steel skin with insulating core • Provides higher R-value than solid wood door • Weatherstripping further increases the R-value

  37. Miscellany

  38. Air Sealing • Prevents heat from escaping through cracks in the wall • Air sealing techniques • Air barriers • Block air movement through a wall • Airtight drywall • Caulking • Weatherstripping

  39. Moisture Control • Keep untreated wood from touching soil • Provide ample drainage • Install air sealing gaskets • Install insect shields Image Courtesy of: www.energysavers.gov

  40. Ventilation • Removes air pollutants and moisture • Three basic strategies • Natural ventilation • Air escaping through cracks and vents • Whole-house ventilation • Controlled air movement through fans and duct systems • Spot ventilation • Controlled air movement through localized exhaust fans
