5. Project Narrative

6. Energy (eQUEST) Analysis Overview Analyze: As Built Proposed design All glass Outputs Total Energy Usage (mainly Electricity Usage) Goals Overarching goals: minimize life-cycle cost Low operation energy Translates into: avoid excessive increase in electricity usage compared to As Built option

7. Critical Assumptions Window glazing Chose window material based on Visible Light Transmittance Estimated amount of outside light coming through CIFE Offices and Conference Room Geometry Excluded walls in rooms adjacent to IRoom (see lines and areas in red on diagram on the right) HVAC Simplified source of chilled water and hot water in eQUEST, modeled sources as single chiller and boiler respectively Wall material For internal walls and West exterior, used data from Arup’s Y2E2 model For other eQUEST exterior walls on N, E, S sides  defined wall material with U-value=0.001 (lowest possible in eQUEST) Hours of use Fall, Winter, Spring Quarters: 9AM – 6PM Summer Quarter: 10AM – 4PM Lighting Density From Arup’s model  1.5kWh/ft 2 for IRoom (As Built) Used Colin’s results to reduce density to 63% and 83% of As Built for Proposed and All Glass options respectively IRoom CIFE Student Offices Offices and Conference Room Storage N S W E

8. As Built Notice missing walls

9. Proposed New Sliding Door All glass changed to clear glass

10. All Glass – Original Design All glass is clear glass

11. As Built eQUEST Output Annual Energy Usage *Ignore Natural Gas usage, since IRoom HVAC has no heating component

12. Proposed eQUEST Output Annual Energy Usage Cooling increased, but Area Lighting decreased (very minor differences)

13. All Glass eQUEST Output Annual Energy Usage No difference in Cooling between All Glass and Proposed Area Lighting decreased (again, very minor differences)

14. Annual Energy Usage Comparison Very minor differences General trends Less cooling energy needed with greater clear-glass window area – only occupied during the day, so greater clear-glass window area means more sunlight in the space Less lighting energy needed with greater clear-glass window area – greater window area means more daylighting Interesting note: percent of total electricity usage for cooling load increased from As Built to Proposed and from As Built to All Glass

15. Energy Analysis MACDADI Rating MACDADI Metrics Total Energy Savings Compared with As BuiltMACDADI Rating Energy Savings ≥ 15% 3 10% ≤ Energy Savings <15% 2 5% ≤ Energy Savings < 10% 1 Same as As Built option or within ± 5% 0 5% ≤ Energy Use < 10% of As Built 10% ≤ Energy Use < 15% of As Built -2 Energy Use ≥ 15% of As Built -3

16. Energy Analysis MACDADI Results Energy will not have a large impact. Confidence in Results Accuracy of information transfer: N/A – I had to generate all my models in eQUEST and could only import 2D drawings Final Results: 60% Many assumptions, had to make estimates, especially with window material Simplified geometry and HVAC system However, I did try changing the window material to ones with similar Visible Transmittance but different SHGC’s and other properties

18. Acoustics (Ecotect) Analysis Overview Analysis of three options to determine which performs best acoustically As built (with and without partition wall) All glass Proposed design Outputs drive which model performs the best Acoustic response Reverberation times Ray tracing Goals Reasonable quality of sound within the iroom (goals from CEE 321) Support group lectures Smaller discussions Remote collaboration Distributed range of frequencies Music range (1000 to 10,000 Hz) Voice range (10 to 100 Hz) Reverberation does not distort sound

19. Acoustics (Ecotect) Analysis Metrics Acoustic response – reasonable range of decay times Reverberation times – decay of approximately one second Ray tracing and lines of reflection

20. Acoustics (Ecotect) Analysis Inputs Imported models from Revit (.dxf files) Room materials Doors: sliding glass door, wood, glass Floor: concrete slab on ground Wall materials: drywall, glass, plastic (polycarbonate) Ceiling: metal deck, drywall, modeled with delay properties Space volume: 441 m 3 Auditorium seating Seating type: hard backed

37. Cost/Schedule/4D Model Analysis Overview Analysis of 3 options to determine cost, schedule, and constructability Cost will be a key (usually primary) consideration. Small scope of project means that schedule is not as important Constructability not a major issue because of the simplicity of the project.

38. Cost/Schedule/4D Model Analysis Key Metrics Cost Lump sum cost in USD of each option relative to 3 rd party estimate Hard number calculated by software based on user input Schedule Total Duration in Days of each option relative to estimate based on experience Hard number calculated by software based on user input

39. Cost/Schedule/4D Model Analysis Inputs & Assumptions Revit components are not custom Matching RS Means assemblies to Revit components is an art Geographic cost adjustment RS Means costs are implicit about scope & methodology Schedule is intuitive; based on experience

48. Daylight (DaySim) Analysis Why daylight? More energy-friendly Increase productivity More friendly space Overview Analysis of how different options would affect kWh/sf and brightness levels at different points in the room

49. Daylight (DaySim) Analysis Goals Minimize kWh/sf Maximize general brightness of room throughout the space However, not too bright to avoid glare Metrics kWh/sf: Electric lighting use Amount of energy needed to light a square foot of the room at 50 lux Daylight Factor: ratio of indoor illuminance to outdoor luminance Measure for glare Luxh: Annual light exposure Measure for brightness level

50. Daylight (DaySim) Analysis Input and Assumptions Use time: 9AM – 5PM Typical class time Minimum Illuminance Level: 50 lux Default was 500 lux Lighting Control: Combination switch-off occupancy & dimming system Default was manual on/off switch Site location: Sunnyvale (37.42 N/122.05 E) Modeled section of Y2E2 Building (for simplicity)
