Thermal Resilience of a Zero Carbon Community Hub
This paper aims to evaluate the design measures of a community hub in the Canadian province of Ontario through the thermal resilience metric of passive survivability. The frequency of power outages as a result of climate pressures are increasing and community centres are relied on as areas of refuge. Therefore, designing these buildings with passive survivability in mind is important, and challenging as a result of the high occupancy and fresh air requirements. The study compared typical construction (Ontario Building Code) to high performance façade designs (Zero Carbon Building) using whole-building energy simulation. Unsurprisingly, the ZCB design showed significant energy savings over code, but the passive elements required in zero carbon design also provided improvements to thermal comfort and passive survivability in both hot summer, and cold winter conditions. Enhanced solar gain control and natural ventilation provide additional performance benefits.
