Daylight Analysis of School Retrofit
Analysis of the existing classrooms was perform
ed using
predictive software,
specifically DesignBuilder, and
average daylight factors were obtained. False colour
distribution images were also produced. The average
daylight factor result, 1.919%, needed to be greatly
improved in the proposed scheme and from the
distribution image the m
ajority of daylight falling on the
working plane was located beside the main windows.
Also it was clear after investigations that the clear storey
windows added little to the daylighting to the space.
Different options were form
ulated and then m
odelled and
simulated in the predictive software. The description of
these options and their associated results are;
• 2.635% - O
ption 1: increasing the size of the
main windows with the addition of a light shelf.
• 2.145% - Option 2: Addition of a glazed wall to
the rear wall and fully glazed corridor to allow
borrowed light to penetrate.
• 4.56% - Option 3: the addition of a large
rooflight (approx 10m
2) to the rear of the room.
In all af the above options the clear storey windows were
omitted. The distribution diagrams are shown to the right
and it is evident that all of these proposed interventions
increased the daylight provision to the space. However
there are other factors to consider in tandem with
daylighting. For example, in option 3 the size of the
rooflights require a large structural intervention and there
would considerable heat loss contribution through the
glazing and frames. An optimum solution was form
ulated
and is described to the right.

Strategy for Classroom
S C A L E: 1:100
Elements of options 1 and 3 were adapted into a
daylighting strategy for the classroom spaces. Option 2
was disregarded due to the structural and operational
problems that may have resulted.
For the classrooms with three existing south-east facing
windows, a single large opening was form
ed across the
full width of the three w
indows. In the classrooms w
ith
four existing windows the same width of opening was
used w
ith infill walls closing the remaining opening. An
internal
and external
light
shelf was introduced
approximately 2.45m above floor level. In order to avoid
structural issues two small rooflights (combined area:
3m
2) were added in place of the large 6.5m x 1.5m single
rooflight.
The diamatic section of a typical classroom shows the
theory of this daylighting strategy and the false colour
distribution map shows the simulated results for the
modelled classroom. From this simulation it can be seen
that the majority of the classroom achieves above 2%
point daylighting levels. An average daylight factor of
3.165% is achieved m
aking the classrooms a well daylit
space.
PHPP inputs for daylighting differ from this method of
daylight assessment which relies on the simple geometry
of the space and windows to be entered. The PHPP
results are shown in that section above.

Surpassing EnerPHit and PassivHaus requirements in
order
to achieve certification requires a significant
contribution to space heating from solar gain whilst
providing m
eans to elim
inate overheating to a proposed
scheme. In this section diagrams have been prepared to
demonstrate the strategies employed to meet
the
requirements and provide a comfortable environment for
the building occupants.
The solar gain / shading strategy illustrated in the
diagrams to the right allows the range of the midday
solar azimuth across the year. As the diagrams show the
external light shelf and window reveal provide a large
amount of shading during m
idsummer whilst still allowing
solar
gain during the winter
months when it is
advantagous. due to the low sun angle in w
inter blinds
may be utilised on the lower portion of the window.
However
internal
shading devices,
while stopping
discomfort glare will not negate the solar gain to the
space. With the high level internal light shelf in place the
sunlight can strike the upper surface and provide gains
(and daylighting) wile providing some shading to the
classrooms.
The geometry, orientation and any additional external
obstructions of all the proposed windows in the building
are input into the PHPP file and the solar gain and
shading values for the proposed building are calculated.
The values achieved for the proposal are shown to the
right of the diagrams.
The solar gain and shading strategy for the classrooms
were
particularly
important
as
they
made
up
approximately 56% of the floor area of the building and
have south-east facing glazing. Also rooms other than
classrooms in the building generally have a lower
occupancy level.
During the PHPP evaluation of the progressive design
process a significant overheating issue was identifited
with its frequency at 15.7% when the therm
al envelope
was upgraded to passiv standards. This required a
mitigation strategy in order to meet EnerPHit standards.
The ventilation strategy illustrated in the diagram to the
right is the method chosen to overcome any issue of
overheating in the building. The classrooms have the
highest occupancy and the greatest southerly glazing
areas so it was paramount to solve the problem in these
spaces.
This was done by the introduction of
automatically opening windows and rooflights to create
a crossflow / stack ventilation effect that would provide
both daytime and night purge ventilation. As these
windows would open only a short distance (<100mm)
they can be fitted w
ith security screens to the opening
areas. Rain sensors can also be incorporated into the
rooflights. In addition to natural ventilation the M
VHR can
be set to summer bypass mode providing additional
ventilation airchanges. All other habitable rooms are
provided with manually openable windows and the
MVHR summer ventilation also.
The calculations for this strategy are carried out on the
Summvent tab in PHPP. An extract from this calculation
sheet is included to the right. This shows the definitions
for the opening windows for both daytime and night
purge ventilation.

To achieve EnerPHit certification either the annual space
heating demand must be less than 25kWh/m
2/y or the
heating load must be less than 10W/m
2. The primary
energy usage, under which DHW is counted, must be
below 132kWh/m
2/y also.
The PHPP software calculates the total fabric and
ventilation heat loss, the internal and solar gains, etc.
from the user inputs and a figure for the space heating
demand is arrived at. The DHW requirement is also
calculated from predicted demand. The efficiency factors
(boiler efficiency, pipework runs, HW storage losses,
etc.) are then appliedto this to get the final annual
heating demand figure. The relevant specification for the
efficiency factors are as follows:
• Boiler Type: Remeha Avanta 18s System
boiler with 18kW output and 92.5% seasonal
efficiency.
• Heating system: Hot water
low pressure
radiators form
the Quinn Sleive range with room
therm
ostats and TRVs. 170m total flow, return
and branch pipework distribution length
• DHW System: Hot water insulated cylinder
with pumped recirculation pipe system with
branch feeder pipes to tap openings. 115m total
circulation pipework length and 19m total branch
pipework length.
• All pipework encased in 40mm of Kingspan
Kooltherm
pipe insulation [therm

0.025W/mK]
A schematic of the proposed D
HW and space heating
system is shown to the right. O
n this diagram the boiler
location, hot water storage cylinder location, the main
and branch pipework runs for the DHW and space
heating systems and the nominal location of ratiators are
shown.

can
contribute graetly to achieving the annual space heating
demand (<25kWh/m
2/y) or the heating load (<10W/m
2)
requirements defined in PHPP. However the operation of
the M
VHR unit will contribute to the primary energy load
(<132kWh/m
2/y). Thus an efficient system will be needed
to satisfy these requirements.
The design air flow rate is determ
ined through a
calculation involving the number
of occupants and
wetrooms in the building. For the proposed school this
was 1500m
3/h.
The noise level of the system in
operation is also a consideration for a building such as
this.
The M
VHR system chosen to be utilised in the retrofit
project was the Vent Axia S
entinal Kinetic P
lus system
and such was the air flow rate required 4 of these units
were required. The relevant specification for the M
VHR
units are as follows:
• Heat recovery efficiency: 92% (77% entered in
PHPP as it is an uncertified system)
• Electrical Efficiency: 0.38 W

a unit designated to each. As shown on the schematics
to the right, the flat roof ancilliary areas (zone 1) and 2
classrooms and corridor
(zone 2)
have seperate
pipework and supply and exhaust. This situation is
replicated as a mirror image on the north end of the
building.

This EnerPHit retrofit used many methods to achieve and surpass the minimum required values. Among the
main strategies were a major upgrade of the thermal envelope, optimised fenestration (for solar gain, shading
and daylighting), upgrading of existing mechanical and electrical systems, night purge and daytime cooling and
the introduction of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. These items are described and specified in detail
in the other sections of this presentation. In this section the process involved in reaching EnerPHit standards
and the data obtained from the PHPP software that demonstrates the energy performance of the building will
be described.
Early design decisions were taken based on analysis of the existing building and assessing some of the
proposed strategies in both the PHPP software and with some predictive analysis (daylighting). When an
aesthetically pleasing and technically accurate design was completed the data was input into the PHPP
software incrementally (and in a series that they may be considered) and each step / improvement was
recorded. This gave a chart leading to Enerphit achievement. An abreviated version of this table is shown

The specific annual heating demand for achieving EnerPhit and Passiv Haus certification is determined within
the PHPP software using the monthly method. This section of PHPP uses climate data and occupancy
patterns, along with internal and external gains, to determine the space heating loads. The monthly method
can also be a good indicator of overheating as it can be evident on the graph when the gains exceed the heat
loss. The diagrams below taken from PHPP show the monthly heating demand for both the existing building
and proposed retrofit.

The differering scales of these graphs can be deceptive as the monthly heating demands for the existing
building range from 20kWh/m
2/month to 70kWh/m
2/month while the proposed building ranges from
6kWh/m
2/month to only 8.5kWh/m
2/month. The graph in the centre represents the proposed retrofit at the
same scale as the existing. Three key points can be gleemed from these graphs;
1) space heating is required every month in the existing and there are 5 months in the proposed
that require little or no heating.
2) Solar and internal gains make up most of the space heating demand in the proposed retrofit.
3) Gains surpass losses for five months in the proposed scheme. This requires overheating
mitigation measures to be applied as described in the relevant section below.
The heating balance charts can be a very usefull too in
analysing the internal gains, external gains, fabric losses,
ventilation losses, space heating supply, etc. The graph
provides a comparison of all the values in a single place. The
inspection of this graph lead to the process described above
in developing the retrofit strategy.
On an annual average for the retrofit scheme, internal and
solar gains can be seen to contribute more to the heating
load than the annual space heating contribution. Ventilation
is the main source of heat loss from the building, both in the
form of losses from the MVHR efficiency and from the need
to cool the building from unwanted solar gains during the
summer. It can also be observed that there is equivilent heat
loss through the windows as there is through the walls and
roof combined.
For the existing building, a very different profile is evident.
Large amounts of heat loss is evident through the walls and
ceilings / roofs. This is why a large proportion of the retrofit
strategy aimed at remediating this heat loss. The ventilation
heat losses also required carefull attention and led to the
selection of an efficient heatrecovery ventilation system. It
can be seen that the internal gains ar the same as in the
proposed retrofit at 14.7kWh/m
2/annum and the solar gains
are within 2.4kWh/m
2/annum but they barely make a dent in
the overall space heating demand.

The differering scales of these graphs can also be deceptive
as they remain the same size despite the existing graph
stretching to over 450kWh/m
2/annum while the proposed
graph barely reaches 60kWh/m
2/annum. The graph below
represents the proposed retrofit at the same scale as the
existing.
