Green Dorm Group 6 Bethany Corcoran Andrew Ehrich Eric Stoutenburg Kimberly Walton

Stanford Green Dorm Living laboratory for ongoing research and education on sustainable engineering and student living Environmental Performance: Zero Carbon –Energy consumption 20% below current best- performing row house on campus (Columbae) –Eliminate net carbon emissions due to operational and embodied energy use over the course of a year

Green Dorm Features West-facing entry porch Second floor roof deck supporting solar panels Green roof test beds Information Center with real-time performance monitoring

Our Decision: Energy and Electricity Generation Options (Ongoing Research): –Solar Thermal Systems Research by Jonas Ketterle –Biogas / Micro-Combined Heat and Power Systems Research by Gil Masters –Facility Integrated Vehicle Research by Paul Kreiner –Shower Drain Heat Exchanger Research by Paul Kreiner –Green Roofs and Photovoltaic Arrays Research by David Sheu –Solar Cooker Research by Chi Nguyen

Decisions to Make: Baseline Green or Living Laboratory? Baseline Green Radiant Slab Heating Electric Car Garage Solar Orientation for Passive Heating 80% Daylit Interior Living Laboratory 5 kW Fuel Cell Solar Hot Water System 60 kW Photovoltaic Array 100% Daylit Interior Greywater Heat Recovery Possibly Affected Goals First Cost Lifecycle Cost Lighting Quality Thermal Comfort Building Energy Vehicle Energy Proving Ground for Building Technology Innovative Leadership on Campus Reduced Energy Use Indoor Environmental Quality Electricity Quality and Reliability

Possible Questions and Tradeoffs What are the costs of different technologies? How can the design team successfully navigate the potentially competing desires to minimize first cost and reduce energy use through novel and innovative technology? If the Green Dorm uses a variety of new technologies, how can the design team ensure the requisite quality and reliability needed for a dorm? How might the combination of a diverse set of energy and electricity generation technologies interact with each other? What technologies can simultaneously satisfy multiple goals? If the Green Dorm is radically different in its design and day-to-day operation, how will that affect housing, maintenance, and facilities? Will those considerations increase the operation cost, and thus possibly the cost passed on to student residents?

Next Steps Identify new option(s) along with Baseline Green & Living Laboratory Establish preferences Analyze value Make decisions & recommendations
