CHIP Solar Decathlon 2011 Design & Build US Department of Energy Completed Project
CHIP (compact hyper insulated prototype) is a net zero, solar powered house designed and built for the US Department of Energy’s biannual Solar Decathlon. Twenty schools from around the world were selected for the intense competition which culminated in the projects being assembled and displayed on the National Mall in Washington DC. The houses were evaluated on various criteria from architectural design concepts to marketing strategies. CHIP challenges conventional construction logic by reevaluating the hierarchy of typical building materials. Specifically tuned for Southern California, every aspect of the house, from its overall massing to the HVAC system, is specifically designed for performance while balancing issues of affordability. Through its unique marriage of Architectural design and Engineering technology, CHIP is efficient, innovation, and inexpensive.

CHIP was designed and built by a team of students from SCI-Arc and Caltech with two years of continuous research, design, development, and construction. In addition to the typical scope of design and construction, fundraising, marketing, public relations, and web design were also critical components of the project.

In typical wood frame construction, insulation is normally held within the wood frame in bays between studs. Gaps in the insulation decrease overall energy efficiency. Insulation is also limited by the thickness of the wall. CHIP’s design moves the insulation from these bays to the exterior of the wood framing, making a continuous thermal barrier. Rather than expensive thinner insulation materials, low cost recycled denim bat insulation
is layered very thick, increasing the insulation value and efficiency. The house is then wrapped in a continuous architectural grade vinyl fabric membrane and is fastened with a system of tufts and cables. This is what gives CHIP its unique soft and puffy exterior while allowing the house to operate with high efficiency.
CHIP occupies a very small footprint while functioning like a much larger home. While the slanted roof allows for higher solar exposure for the panels, the raised north end provides shaded parking end enhances passive interior cooling. The resulting sectional variation of platform tiers in the interior volume creates programmatic differentiation while still maintaining a continuous open space.
The design process relied heavily on digital 3D computer model studies, which helped rapidly move through iterations, focus or eliminate ideas, and study designs details at various scales, simultaneously.

The open central space is served by western and eastern poche spaces. The heart of CHIP, housing all of its electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems is located in a densely packed mechanical space on the western poche space, conveniently servicing the adjacent kitchen and bathroom. The eastern poche wall, as well as pockets of space in the floor and ceiling, provide programmatic support for the central space housing a system of cabinetry that can be repositioned to better suit the occupants changing needs. Soft custom furniture pieces also fit into the wall, ready to be deployed when necessary.

CHIP was completely built by the design team. This unique experience enhances the relationship between the design world and the physical world. Details don’t just end as line weights on a sheet and hammering isn’t just a matter of hitting the nail on the head. Architecture requires a deeper understanding of how these two worlds coexist.
CHIP uses typical wood frame construction. Since the insulation normally housed within the stud bays has been pushed to the exterior, the wood framing on the walls is left exposed. This exposed woodwork celebrates the idea of rearranging the traditional wall section by accentuating what is traditionally hidden. This utilitarian aesthetic intentionally correlates with a Californian active lifestyle for which the house was designed.
On the exterior, the vinyl skin eliminates many trades typically associated with exterior cladding (roofing, flashing, siding, painting, sealing) and condenses them into one operation and material. This significantly lowers the cost of the house, increases performance and efficiency, and speeds up construction time.
Built in California and displayed in Washington DC, the house is designed to split into four pieces, each sized according to truck bed specifications. This allows the house to be disassembled and reassembled as necessary in a very short period of time. Due to the central location of the HVAC and plumbing components, very few cross module connections must be made. The skin and insulation strategies further aid in eliminating any
thermal breaks or moisture infiltration that could normally occur along the seams in modular construction types. After a crane assembles the modules, it simply needs to be wrapped in insulation and covered with the vinyl membrane.
Typically, how a house looks and how a house performs are two separate ideas. Mechanical systems are hidden or disguised. Insulation is tucked away. CHIP reverses these relationships. CHIP is not just well insulated, in LOOKS well insulated. This is due to the insulation underneath the skin as well as the network of cables and tufts, which further accentuate the puffy tectonic, giving the house the feel of a warm winter coat or a space suit. The mechanical systems are left out on display, like a hot-rob showing off the power underneath the hood. The tectonics of this house directly correlate with its necessary functions. CHIP is a house designed to perform and is not shy in showing how or why.
The Solar panels provide all energy that CHIP needs to sustain itself. While the sizing of this particular grid is calibrated to perform during the competition week in Washington DC, the design allows the system to either be increased or decreased to obtain the correct ratio of power output to overall cost. The decks are made of reclaimed cedar, salvaged from California wild fires. A rainwater system below the cedar decking collects precipitation and stores it to be used as irrigation for landscaping during dry weather.
On the interior CHIP’s platform faces and exposed framing wall are fully utilized for storage. Furniture also packed in the wall and under the tiers can be deployed for lounging and relaxing. A large movie screen pulls down over the southern window and the platforms can then be used like stadium seating for an entertaining night of movies. While the open central space’s flooring and ceiling are sheathed with birch plywood, reclaimed cedar is used in the interior poche zones. Under the kitchen and bathroom water drains into stainless steel pans, which feed into CHIP’s grey water system, helping to irrigate the landscaping.

How the information is given about CHIP to the public is extremely important. While there are many sophisticated ideas imbedded in the project, they are presented in a direct, simple, and FUN way. This allows CHIP to appeal to all ages and backgrounds, which is important for the proliferation of new ideas and the success of the project.
While CHIP is a fully functioning machine for living, it is also a tool for education. During its time in Washington DC, tens of thousands of people toured the house and were educated in both the innovative design particulars of CHIP but also the benefits and culture of smart environmental design and the integration of new technologies into Architectural practice. The public did not just get to look at CHIP, but engaged it.
Viewers got direct feedback from the designers and builders and were able to touch and feel the exterior, the soft furniture, and play with many of the unique technological features of the house, such as the ipad app that controls all of CHIP’s mechanical systems and the 3D Kinect system which enables users to activate functions all over the house through basic hand gestures.

P5000 Mechanical Wall System Research Through Design Personal Work
The P5000 is a research based design exersize produced exclusively in virtual design space. Although sculptural in nature, the wall system addresses fundamental architectural interests. Form, tectonics, program (function), and space are all interwoven elements of this wall system. The surface produces sectional qualities of interior and exterior space. Mechanical components allow the wall to be repositioned, creating a temporal condition of enclosure that changes as the object moves.

This design found much of its inspiration outside of the world of Architecture. While the form borrows qualities of motorcycle fairings, the design also references the J5000 Powerlifter dock loader from the movie Aliens. The wall system is combines real and science fiction precedents to push architectural boundaries.

Kajima Sculptural Competition OCDC This interactive design focuses on fundamental Architectural relationships of form, site, materiality, light, and space. The design’s base is a jack, lifting the piece off the ground and giving it a sense of movement. The fins jetting out from the base grid can pivot and swivel, opening up the interior. As it does so, the space between fins fluctuate to reveal bright contrasting colors and focused beams of light. These changing conditions and adjacencies activate the Kajima building’s central atrium and respond to the verticality of the three story volume. The contrast of dark colors suggest a contextual relationship between the surrounding plant life and the open skylight above.

DALE
Schematic Design Personal Work The Dynamic Ambiguous Living Environment is a schematic design for a compact solar powered house. Unlike its brother CHIP, this design is not concerned with form and materiality.
Instead, it’s primary focus is challenging the typical conventions of space and program. Rather than individual rooms, DALE has one central space which can be transformed through a specific choreographed movements, becoming countless other spaces. This is accomplished through rotating program modules (RPM’s). Each side of these hinged cabinets houses particular programmatic functions (bed, office, entertainment space).

Customize It
As the RPMs rotate in and out of the central area, new 2 adjacencies and functions are exposed creating new spatial 4 and program relationships. The RPMs can be customized to cater to the homeowners needs. The end result is a 700 sq. foot home that has the functional capacity of the typical 3000 sq. foot 1 home.

Dale is an early design proposal for the Solar Decathlon and 2 4 was developed in tandem with CHIP. Many underlying principles of DALE were used in CHIP’s final design, such as a single central space served by a mechanical and program poche walls with deployable furniture.1
