EBS 2018 SEM 2 CLOUTEST EXAMPLE

WINDROSE Melburne’s winds come mainly from the north at 9am and southwest at 3pm.

The Patel’s being elderly, will require more than average housing considerations when it comes to facilitatent levels of heating, cooling and insulation. Particularly, the systems in the house need to be very responsive as the elderly’s bodies are not as strong and able to cope with extremities.

VEGETATION Initially, the site had no vegetation, which made the site very defenseless against the natural elements. Hence, a combination of dense and deciduous trees have been planted. The deciduous trees create shade from the summer sun while allowing the winter sun to enter. The evergreen dense t rees will allow shading all year round, a critical and useful tool. Both vegetation will allow the channelling of wind.

1. Site Plan

THERMAL MASS The concrete slab is the main form of thermal mass used in the house. It is located in the living room where most sunlight will be captured during the day.

VENTILATION Passive cooling winds from the southwest help reduce heat in the house during summer via cross ventilation.

The enlarged window here will allow more wind to enter and escape.

Additionally, stack ventilation is faciliated by the clerestory windows placed for sunlight access.

SHADING

The large north facing windows will require shading as they may let too much summer heat in. Hence, a pergola will be used to block excessive sunlight. Additionally, deciduous vines will be grown on the pergola to allow for convenience in the future. The grandparents, being old, will not have to adjust shading in any way, with the vines shedding leaves in the winter and growing more in the summer to allow for wanted sunlight access.

It’s volumetric heat capacity is 2060 kj/m³.

be placed in the living room for additional thermal mass. Chosen due to their ability to adapt to the changing climate.

Water has a higher thermal capacity than concrete, and the ballustrade´s ability to be drained if it is too hot is perfect to be suitable to Melbourne´s extreme weather jolts.

Due to the height of the summer and winter sun, the same pergola itself will also allow full access of sunlight in winter, and restricted access of sunlight in summer.

Cool winds from the southwest are vital for the ventilation and cooling in the house. The Patel residence is located on the east side of site, hence allowing southwest winds to enter the land. To maximise this, the trees placed on the south west will channel the wind into the house.

With the extra expenditure on the outer cladding, it is ensured that thermal bridges will not happen largely in the house, hence saving the Patel’s spending on extra heating that would be needed to recover the extensive heat loss through gaps. Similarly, the double glazed windows that cost more than normal single glazed windows will prevent heat loss as well, reducing the need for extra heating. Waterprooding of the house is of absolute importance as the strawbale should not become drenched.

Greywater reusal amount depends on the idividual behavior. However, with the elderly, more water is used a day, roughly 100 litres daily per person, which means 200 litres a day for the couple. This means that the yearly savings would be 73,000 litres per year.

DOUBLE HEATING SYSTEM The house employs two systems, the hydronic in slab heating, for the main living area, and hydronic panel heating in the bedrooms.

REASON Hydronic inslab heating for the main living area has been used to provide a comfortably warm environment for the elderly, who are more sensitive to the cold. This system does not produce draft or dust, hence it will not irritate the Patel’s breathing. Additionally, the system provides even heating throughout

the small rooms.

RAINWATER INTEGRATION The hydronic systems have a problem of excessive water usage which in turn increases water bills drastically. The method to combat this is the usage of collected rainwater instead of mainter to become suitable for use in the hydronic system.

PRACTICALITY Hydronic inslab heating is known to have a high capital cost. However, the running cost is lower and it is worth it for the comfortability that is desperately needed. The idea is that since the system uses hot water to provide heat to the room, the Solar Panels will be adequate in providing this. This will heavily reduce the running cost of the system.

WETLAND MATTER Wetland, raingarden and pond are adequate in providing cooling during the dry heatwaves.
