Impact of Active and Passive Solar Building Designs on Utility Peak Loads
The primary objective is to perform a systematic evaluation to determine an optimum peak mitigating solar building design. The optimum configuration of collectors, building characteristics, and equipment will be identified for each of three perspectives: the owner, the utility, and the rest of the nation. A methodology to determine the effect of solar building design parameters on consumer and utility economics was developed. A modified version of TRNSYS, capable of predicting both active and passive solar building performance under peak and average annual utility load conditions was developed. A computerized financial model was developed to determine short and long term costs of conventional and solar buildings on the utility and building owner using output from the TRNSYS simulations. A conventional building, typical of a single family house in the United States was designed. Modifications of the wall type, insulation, thermal mass, window area and orientation, shading, collector area, and collector-storage ration were specified. Buildings were designed incorporating various combinations of the modifications. The costs of the conventional and modified buildings were determined. The TRNSYS model and the financial model were debugged and sensitivity studies were done to reduce computation cost and time, and to determine the parameters having the most impact on the building thermal performance and peak load mitigation.
