KEY MESSAGE
In 2008, the California Energy Efficiency strategic Plan included the goal that all new residential building would be zero net energy building by 2020
All new commercial buildings will be zero net energy building by 2030
50% of the Public building stock in CA to be renovated to N+ by 2030
CA – TITLE 24 ZNE HOME PLAN
CA – TITLE 24 ZNE HOME PLAN
Two Things
Low Demand Building
Efficiency Insulate (minimize thermal
bridging, HP windows) Stop Air Infiltration Ventilation with Heat
Recovery Low Plug Loads
Energy Generation
PV
Wind
etc.
Two Questions:
How do you know if you are doing enough?
How do you know when you are doing too much?
Answer:
Building Energy Model along with a building that designed to be modeled (i.e. air tight with thermal bridges quantified)
With an accurate model and an “efficiency” knowledgeable contractor, the cost premium may then be in the range of 5-10% for a super efficient building (not including power generation)

DPR CONSTRUCTION | SAN FRANCISCON+ Energy Retrofit
• A building that generates MORE
clean energy over the course of a
year than it uses without the use of
fossil fuels (ILFI Requirement – not
CA code).
EUI TARGETPathways to N+
The Miller Hull Partnership
EUI TARGET
Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) System• 100% Electric• Single outdoor air source heat pump• Individual zone control• Fast acting cooling/heating• Can be ducted or non ducted in the zones• Refrigerant Heat recovery between zones• Excellent partial/low load efficiencies.
Dedicated Outside Air (DOAS) System• 100% Outside air• Demand controlled based on CO2• Heat recovery in a mild climate = no
conditioning of the ventilation at the unit• Smaller ductwork to the zones even with
increased ventilation amounts

COST OF N+$ of PV
Reported price differentials across states reflect a wide array of potential factors, including: market size and maturity, incentive levels, sales taxes, administrative costs, labor costs, and project characteristics.

Day Lighting Design Tools
Daysim- annual daylighting analysis with weather data
Radiance –illuminance maps based on specific times
Use the right tool
Daysim was more user friendly in early design phases

Natural Ventilation Analysis
Natural Ventilation –Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Studies
Fluent (AnsysAirpak)
Various ceiling configurations and shapes were analyzed
CFD analysis indicated - horizontal ceiling plane works as well as a sloped ceiling
Comfort Verification Studies – Additional CFD analysis was done during late design for verification purposes
Comfort verification studies by Capital Engineering/ SEED Inc.

97.1% FSC Wood content
3x8 wood studs @ 24” on center
Wood is thermally efficient vs. steel stud
7 ¼” of wall cavity filled with rock wool insulation = R30
2 layers of Roxul in roof/ ceiling =R41
5 week lead time from Canada
Good acoustics, high thermal & hygrothermalperformance, fire protection, moisture & mold resistant and will not sag
Roxul Rock Wool Insulation

Lessons In The Field
Unseen But Important-Roof BOD -Performance
requirements
PV Sub -Install Off the Rack Systems
Structural issues!
Resolve Issues, Find Solutions and be ZNE Aware
Integrated Designs Are Not Friendly Towards Field Changes
PV emergency shut off -within 10’ of Main Switch Gear (MSB)
56
Lessons In The Field
PV & Solar Thermal Do not exceed
zoning height limitations
Low slope roofs –HED detailed for stanchions.
Standard wood curbs preferred by subs can impede flow and affect collector plate angles
Stanchions allow for future technology, reroofing, ease of maintenance.
57
Radiant Slab Triple Wall Radiant
Tubing
4” of Radiant Concrete Slab over 2” of Rigid Insulation. 6” Curbs.
Curb cutouts -manifolds & construction access-cherry pickers.
Check manifold design & tubing layout for proper zoning
Template Layout/ Protection plates -avoid punctures
Educating the othersubcontractors is KEY
Radiant Floors

PV & Solar Thermal Learning curve
Not your standard electrical/ mechanical room
Plan for issues in the field where Design Build systems are concerned
Lessons In The Field
59
Runtal Radiators
Runtal Radiators Provides preheating
of fresh air in the winter
Long lead time 6-8 weeks
Concerns about appearance and perception
Standard Runtalheights are limited
HED worked with fabricator to increase fin spacing & revised pressure and flow design
60
Day Light & Lighting Controls
Daylight Harvesting Daylight Sensors –
(1) at skylights & (1) at entry
Tied to lighting panel and controls lights -dimmable vs on/off
Dimmable lights need delay
Shades affect sensors
Commissioning is necessary to trouble shoot lighting

Cement Composite Panel Rain Screen
High Performance Rain Screen System
14 Week Lead time from Switzerland –No comparable local product
HED arranged for contractor to obtain manufacturer certification
HED revised details to reduce steel furring use by 50%
Reduced material use, errors, labor and possibility for breakage during installation
62
Extensive Bioclimatic Studies & Energy Modeling -Critical
Anticipate Changes in Technology
Design & Define Performance Criteria for Design/Build Systems –PV/ Solar
Educate Everyone!
Commissioning –Data, Performance, Metrics –Stay the Course.
