Green Timber Housing | Jake Bayer, Payton Cufr, Luisa Mannsperger, Allison Miller, Janika Wutzel

Hello!

Welcome to DAAPworks.

This portfolio consists of the collaboration of three Fourth Year Architecture Students from DAAP and two Master Interior Designers from HFT Stuttgart, Germany.

This semester we were tasked to design a Residential Communal Hub based on the requirements of the Living Building Challenge using Mass Timber Construction.

SOLAR PANEL REQUIREMENTS

54 panels needed for two floors (10,240 sq ft)

Using the energy software program Sefaira, I was able to successfully run two floors of the model. These results are from two floors, not the entirety of the building. After multiple iterations and troubleshooting with Sefaira, I was not getting effective results for the entire building. After troubleshooting for multiple weeks, I was not able to demonstrate that it was an energy effective design approach. Therefore, the use of solar panels is necessary.

54 panels needed for two floors (10,240 sq ft) Residential sqft: 78,848 Fitness sqft: 8,960 Pool sqft: 12,800 Daycare sqft: 6,400 Total: 107,008 sqft 107,008 sqft 10,240 sqft

STACKED VENTILATION

Using stacked ventilation, I was able to get the EUI down 1 point from 22 to 21.

The first thing I did to get the EUI down was raise the insulation numbers. Then I changed the zoning to one zone per room. Then I increased the shading on the windows since the canopy was not effective.

Stacked Ventilation does not help in the winter so the heating numbers did not change. I changed the cooling numbers based on 200 kilowatts per floor.

The results shown show that stacked ventilation works in the summer months of June, July, and August.
