New 6 Story: Residential + Commercial
Typical Commercial Kilowatt Usage: 6.51 KwHour/sf Typical Residential Kilowatt Usage: 8.8 KwHour/sf Total Power Required of Site: 20,000,000 MKwHour Total Commercial SF: 40%: sf x 20,000 MkwHour = 8,000 Mkw/Hour Total Residential SF: 60%: sf x 20,000 MkwHour = 12,000 Mkw/Hour Total sf of Roofing with Solar PV: 318,900 SF = 29,626 M^2 * 3.4 kW/M^2/Day (Average Insolation Value) = 100,728.4 * .20 (20 % efficient Solar) = 7,353 Mkw/Hour = 33% of energy is Solar.
Cavity Wall Exploiting: VIP or Aerogel to be attached to CMU assembly
Wind Power Generates: 1.5 Mkw per Turbine * (7) = 10.5 Mkw/Hour Total Renewable Power: 7,363 Mkw/Hour = 7,363 Mkw/Hour/20,000 Mkw/ Hour = 36% Because Renewable Accounts for around a 1/3 of Energy the project proposes to exploit Higher R Value Insulation, using either VIP (vacuum Insulation Panel R35) or Aerogel (R35) which may offset by 5%. The project strives for the Vertical Gardens to not be conditioned by exploiting light in summer and winters. Along with Exploiting Ground Source Heat Pump, the Project strives to reduce energy bills by 5% creating a 46% energy reduction.
Typical Wall Section
This Model Shows The Building Shading under the worst condition: December 21st. The Buildings in front do not block sunlight hitting Vertical Farm.
