Why I selected the topic Net Zero Energy- Residential School?
A fter getting to know about the environmental facts that 47% of global emission are attributed to the buildings, I was totally shocked.
As before I use to know and was taught that most of the global emission, formation of greenhouse gases, rising level of carbon-dioxide
concentration in our environment is because of industrial activities and vehicles.
But that isn’t true industrial sector contributed to only 24% of global emission and transportation up to 28% which is almost half the glob-
al emission of building sector. This really got me into worry, I thought being an architect it’s my responsibility to get building sectors to carbon
neutral level. And the best possible way is by designing a Net zero Building which works with nature not against it.
If this climate change process is not brought to a halt this changes would be then irreversible and would not be in our control. Ultimately
this would lead to disappearing of polar ice, rising of sea level which would affect the coastal region all over the world, increase in global mean
temperature, sudden climate change, which would make such a environmental conditions on earth that would be not at all be favorable for the
survival of human kind. Ultimately those who will adapt to these conditions will survive.
Well this is not what I want to give to my future generations. I consider its architects responsibility to think for the future, to design for
the future and for that we need to act in present. Its architect who designs a building which will be there for decades or even generations it’s us
who need to design in such a way that It works with nature not against it. It’s earth environment that sustains life on it which makes it feasible
for the survival of human kind, if its disrupted or tempered in any way its going to affect the whole human kind for the generations to come,
which won’t be reversible.
I considered designing a net zero residential school would be the best way I could start with. School is the place where a child gets most
of the knowledge. A child learn remembers whatever he learns thought out rest of his life, I find this is the right time when we should educate
children’s to be more responsible towards our environment. To make them learn sustainable practices, why sustainability is important, so that
in future wherever they might be what ever they might be designing or working, with from a coffee mug to a super car, it would be sustainable
for our mother earth.

Quotes That Inspired Me
• The earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not enough to satisfy every man’s greed. - Mahatma Gandhi.
• It is a mission of modern architecture to concern itself with the sun. - Le Corbousier.
• Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature, it will never fail you. :- Frank Lloyd wright.
• We were born of light. The seasons are felt through light. We only know the world as it is evoked by light... To me natural
light is the only light, because it has mood - it provides a ground of common agreement for man - it puts us in touch with the
eternal. Natural light is the only light that makes architecture architecture. - Louis L l. Kahn.
• It is not a question of air conditioning versus sea breezes, or fluorescent tubes versus the sun. It is rather the necessity for
integrating the two at the highest possible level. - James Marston Fitch.
• “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is today.”- Chinese proverb
002
Let’s create as if lives depend on it.
Billions of them do.
Embrace the limits of our planet.

We can provide so much more while using so much less.
Take on the epic challenges of our day.

How else would you like to be remembered?
Let’s start now because time is running out.

And just in time, we are accepting the future as our brief.
Redesigning the world is a unprecedented challenge to undertake,

But we have the mindsets and tools to do it.
Cooperation has overtaken competition. So we create with everyone, leaving out no one.
Iteration has replaced the status quo.

So we test, optimize and evolve before committing to any one solution.
We see systems beyond the illusion of separate parts. So we no longer need to accept unintended consequences.
Together, we’ll create a world where 9 billion people can live well
And live within the limits of the planet.
This is the era of design,

Where human intention, empowered by technology, we re-shape everything.
This is the design-led revolution.

Net Zero Energy Residential School
Synopsis
India’s ancient buildings speak of the civilization that believed in a spiritual connect with the nature. Its forts, palaces and houses were
built in harmony with nature and very often limited wastage of resources. Over the last century as building’s reached higher into the sky they
became symbols of modern day and progress, but somewhere along the way buildings also became detrimental for the earth’s climate. Today
47 % of energy related global emission is attributed to the buildings, 60 % of waste comes from building or related activities.
The polar ice is now disappearing as a first sign of dramatic climate change. That is not the problem, it’s just a problem for the ice bear…
polar bear. But for the rest of the world the problem will come dramatically if the climate change continues. The growth and development of
our communities has a large impact on our natural environment.
The reason I have got involved with this project, is because I believe it is about time that the future Architects of industry are educated
in what needs to be done to sustain our beautiful planet. We have the required resources, knowledge, skills, and technology and will have
even more in the future, the capacity to make things happen. So I hope we can, from today, start making changes, with the resources at their
disposal.
The overwhelming majority of scientists now agree that we have a fixed carbon budget. At the rate we’re growing, we’ll have spent that
budget by 2032. There will be nothing left. After that, only zero carbon solutions will be relevant. Or net zero to be exact. By mid-century, with
more than 9 billion people on the planet, billions of who will be demanding the power for middle class lifestyle, it’s going to be net zero or
nothing. Stop for a moment to imagine how this could turn out. Within your lifetime, there is a good chance that we will have created a world
where modern life doesn’t have to mean planetary destruction. But to do this, we must design for zero.
“We shape our Buildings there after they shape us” -Sir Winston Churchill.
Benefits of Green School:-
• One third of a schools costs are in heating and cooling, water consumption, electricity and other power sources. A green building reduces
energy consumption by up to 40% and sometimes more as compared to a conventional building. This would help conserve non-renewable
SYNOPSIS
resources and money and would definitely boost its districts economy.
• Parents, teachers and school board officials understand better than anyone the link between child health and learning; and the fact is that
children in green schools have fewer sick days and better test scores.
• A healthier indoor environment means that teachers and administrators also have a fewer illnesses as compared to conventional schools.
002
• Abundant natural day lighting and outdoor views help teachers to be more productive, to perform better and to have higher job satisfaction
rates.
• Finally, green schools help meet the green demand for tangible public action to reduce our nations dependency on foreign oil, to lower
greenhouse gas emissions and combat global climate change.
• Also if young minds like school children are made aware of the energy facts, they will grow into energy responsible citizens of tomorrow.
On a smarted planet buildings can be designed differently, buildings that harness nature, buildings that need less energy, buildings that
breath. This is my vision for future.
Goals:-
• Realize importance of environment and built accordingly and in turn develop habitable conditions to those living in it.
• Study existing solutions of energy efficient/green/net zero buildings.
• Study and compare norms like TERI/GRIHA/LEED. Also study traditional and modern passive solar control strategies.
• Promote the application of energy efficient building practices and convince that it will ensure the health and safety of the people and
environment.
• To show how building industry is related to each and every sector and to show how it could impact the economy of its country by using
sustainable building practice.
• Spread awareness to actively harness renewable natural resources like solar/wind/tidal/geothermal energy and utilize materials that cause
the least possible damage to the global commons- water, soil, forest, air.

I NTRODUCTION
Problem: The Building Sector:-
Why?
• Buildings Consume More Energy Than Any Other Sector
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration
(EIA), the Building Sector consumes nearly half (47.6%) of
all energy produced in the United States.
Seventy-five percent (74.9%) of all the electricity produced
in the U.S. is used just to operate buildings. Globally, these
percentages are even greater.
• Buildings are the Largest Contributor to Climate

Change
With so much attention given to transportation emissions,
many people are surprised to learn this fact. In truth, the
Building Sector was responsible for nearly half (44.6%) of Energy Consumption By Sector Energy Consumption By Sector
U.S. CO2 emissions in 2010.
By comparison, transportation accounted for 34.3% of
CO2 emissions and industry just 21.1%.
• The Health of the Economy is Tied to the Building

The nation’s economy hinges on a healthy Building Sector.
The building sector touches nearly every industry (from

equipment, glass, wood, metals, tile, fabrics and paint)

across all sectors of the economy (from architecture,

to manufacturing, construction, wholesale, retail, and
distribution).

Energy
• Buildings Consume More Energy Than Any Other Sector
Every year, nearly half (47.6%) of all energy produced in the U.S.
is consumed by the Building Sector – about the same amount of
energy consumed by both transportation (28.1%) and industry
(24.4%) combined.
Of the electricity we consume, three-quarters (74.9%) goes

to operate the buildings we live and work in every day. By
comparison, industry uses 24.9% and transportation, less than
1%.

Climate Change
• The Building Sector is the Largest Contributor to CO2 Emissions.
• 74% of Electricity CO2 Emissions Come From Coal.75% of This Electricity is
Consumed by the Building Sector.
• Oil and Natural Gas Cannot Fuel Irreversible Climate Change. Coal Can.
• Coal is the only fossil fuel that is plentiful enough to contribute the amount
of CO2 necessary to trigger irreversible climate change.
• We are currently at 397 ppm, and are increasing atmospheric concentrations
of CO2 at approximately 2 ppm annually. Scientists warn that irreversible
climate change will occur if 450 ppm (or any level much above 350 ppm) is
sustained for very long.

The Health of the Economy is Tied to the Building Sector

Virtually every industry – from steel, concrete, insulation, caulking, mechanical
and electrical equipment, solar systems, glass, wood, metals, tile, fabrics, and
paint to architecture, planning, design, engineering, banking, development, real
estate, manufacturing, construction, wholesale, retail and distribution – depends

Solution: The Building Sector
This transformation over the next 25 years represents a historic opportunity for the
architecture and building community to avoid dangerous climate change.
By 2035 Approximately 75% of

the Built Environment Will be
Either New or Renovated
The Building Sector Must Lead

Building sector professionals can dramatically reduce global energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) over the next twenty years and beyond.
The architecture, engineering, and design communities have the tools necessary to
immediately begin meeting the 2030 Challenge.
As of July 2012, 70% of the 30 largest U.S. Architecture / Engineering firms, responsible
for over $100 billion in construction annually, have adopted and are implementing the
2030 Challenge.
Meeting the 2030 Challenge energy reduction targets is achieved first by

1. Appropriate planning and passive design strategies, then
2. Improved material selection, building envelope design, more efficient lighting,
equipment, and appliances, and finally by
3. On-site and community-scale renewable energy technologies.

nvironmental Issues & Building Design
• What’s the problem?

• Why are buildings so important?
• How do building designers start to address these issues?
Environmental Issues & Building Design
•
A ccording to the scientific community, climate change is happening and its effects will
have severe consequences for our society and environment. Reducing energy use in
buildings is one of the most important ways to reduce humans’ overall environmental
impact.
• In the past 250 years, since the industrial revolution). The primary source of this increase
in GHGs has been attributed to the emissions generated by the use of fossil fuel-based
energy.
• Climate change has been linked observable disturbances such as the loss of mountain
glaciers and ice cover on the Earth’s polar regions, changes in the timing of the spring bud-
break, and an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as
cold waves, heat waves, large storms, hurricanes and tornadoes, floods, and droughts.
• Climate scientists have theorized that human civilization is in danger of crossing a
threshold or “tipping point” that could lead to more radical changes in the global climate,
and that could accelerate the onset of either a new “hotter and wetter” age similar to the
Earth’s environment before the appearance of human beings.
• Scientific estimates place the window of opportunity for reversing this trend in the very
near term—according to some, as briefly as over the next ten years. After that, the global
climate may change irreversibly, and humans will just have to adapt.
• In many arenas of implementing real practical change, architects, engineers, and builders
are the only ones with the skills and resources that provide real, practical, cost-effective,
and inspiring solutions.
009
Environmental Issues & Building Design
• Buildings account for 40% of worldwide energy use — which is much more than transportation. Furthermore, over the next 25 years,
CO2 emissions from buildings are projected to grow faster than any other sector (in the USA), with emissions from commercial buildings
projected to grow the fastest—1.8% a year through 2030 (USGBC).
• Often, energy use in the form of electricity drives the largest environmental impacts. Where that electricity comes from determines what
those impacts are. In the United States for example, where buildings account for more than 70% of electricity use, most of the electricity is
generated by coal-fired electrical power plants (USGBC).
Quick stats
• Buildings account for 40% of energy use worldwide (WBCSD).

• Energy used during its lifetime causes as much as 90% of environmental impacts of buildings (Journal of Green Building).
• Building operations consume more than2/3 of all electricity(BuildingScience.com)
• Residential and commercial buildings consume 40% of the primary energy and71% of the total electricity. (ASHRAE)

D esign Goals for High Performance Buildings
• What goals are important to building design? How are performance goals balanced with
other goals?
• How are these goals measured?
• What are basic strategies for meeting these goals?
Occupant Comfort
• Buildings are designed for people, and those people are trying to accomplish a task –
whether it’s raising a family, running an office, or manufacturing a product. The building
needs to keep people comfortable, efficient, healthy, and safe as they set about their task.
• Green design seeks to create buildings that keep people comfortable while minimizing
negative environmental impacts.
• Maintaining a person’s thermal comfort means ensuring that they don’t feel too hot or too
cold. This means keeping the temperature, humidity, airflow and radiant sources within
acceptable range.
• Why it’s important?
Creating comfortable conditions is one of the biggest uses of energy in buildings and it is also
critical to the happiness and productivity of its users. Often factors such as airflow and radiant
temperature are overlooked in a design, leading to higher energy use and occupancy dissatisfaction.
• Metrics
To keep people comfortable you need to provide the right mixture of temperature, humidity,
radiant temperature and air speed. The right level of these variables depends on what activity
is occurring, how active the people are, and what they are wearing. Everyone has slightly
different criteria for comfort, so comfort is often measured by the percentage of occupants
who report they’re satisfied with the conditions.
• Design Strategies
Some ways to keep people comfortable are to use the sun’s heat to warm them, use the wind
or ceiling fans to move air when it’s too warm, and keeping surrounding surfaces the correct
temperature with good insulation.
• Energy-efficient buildings are only effective when the occupants of the buildings are
comfortable. If they are not comfortable, then they will take alternative means of heating
or cooling a space such as space heaters or window-mounted air conditioners that could be
substantially worse than typical Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems.
• Thermal comfort is difficult to measure because it is highly subjective. It depends on the air temperature, humidity, radiant temperature,
air speeds, activity rates, and clothing levels. However, each individual experiences these sensations a bit differently based on his or her
physiology and state.
012
Passive Design Strategies
To keep people comfortable you’ll need to use the right combination

of passive and active design strategies. High-performance buildings
use the right blend of passive and active design strategies to minimize
energy, materials, water, and land use.
Passive design strategies use ambient energy sources instead of

purchased energy like electricity or natural gas. These strategies include
daylighting, natural ventilation, and solar energy.
Active design strategies use purchased energy to keep the building

comfortable. These strategies include forced-air HVAC systems, heat
pumps, radiant panels or chilled beams, and electric lights.
1/3 of Energy Use is Thermal Comfort

Visual Comfort
• Maintaining visual comfort means ensuring that people have enough

light for their activities, the light has the right quality and balance, and
people have good views.
• Why it’s important?
Good lighting helps create a happy and productive environment.
Natural light does this much better than electric lighting. Having
good views and sight-lines gives people a sense of control of their
environment and provides a sense of well-being.
• Good lighting is well-distributed, is not too dim or too strong, and
uses minimal energy. Lighting is often measured either by the amount
of light falling on a surface (illuminance) or the amount of light
reflecting off of a surface (luminance). These are objective measures,
but how people experience this light is often subjective (i.e. are they
comfortable?, do they experience glare?). Good visual comfort also
generally means that as much of this light is natural light as possible.
Design Strategies
• Daylighting design strategies like high or clerestory windows, light
shelves, and well-placed skylights can help distribute sunlight inside a
space.
• When you do need to use artificial lights, you can reduce energy use by
using efficient fluorescents or LEDs, with daylighting dimming controls,
effective fixtures, and good lighting design.
• Good controls can automatically balance natural and artificial
lighting. Most lights should have occupancy sensors.
022
• Getting smart about lighting is an important step to reducing your
building’s energy demands.
• Good lighting design means using daylighting, efficient lights, and

good controls.
• Daylighting is a passive strategy that won’t just cut your lighting

load; it also makes people happier and more productive.
• In commercial buildings, electric lighting accounts for 35 - 50% of

total electrical energy consumption. Using daylight can reduce this
energy demand.
• Daylight also improves people's comfort and performance.
• But the sun moves through the day and through the year, so Glare From Daylighting
sometimes it’s too bright, and other times not bright enough.
• And if you have a building with a deep footprint, you have to draw
the sun’s light deep inside.
• The most important thing is that light be well-distributed. If it’s

too dark in some places and too bright in others, then it can cause
glare.
• You can get light deep into buildings by bouncing it around with
light shelves, reflective surfaces, and high windows.

Artificial Lighting
• Task lighting has different

requirements from ambient
lighting, and it varies by task.
Lighting designs that handle these
Task Lighting separately allow users to use only Separate Task & Ambient Lighting
the light they need.
• You can get even more efficient
with your lighting with smart
combinations of automatic
controls and user controls, again
delivering just the light people
need when they need it.

026
Air Quality
• Air at the right temperature and humidity for thermal comfort, it’s important that
air is clean, fresh, and circulated effectively in the space.
• Why it’s important
If air is too stale or is polluted, it can make people uncomfortable, unproductive,
unhappy, and sick. Fresh air helps people be alert, productive, healthy, and happy.
• Metrics
Fresh air requires a certain percentage of outside air circulating into spaces. Clean
air requires pollutant and pathogen levels to be below certain thresholds.
Design Strategies:-
• Air can be kept fresh with high ventilation rates, either using natural ventilation
such as operable windows, or active systems such as HVAC fans and ducts.
• Clean air can be achieved by filtering air, by flushing spaces with fresh outside air,
and by not contaminating the air with impurities from the building, such as volatile
organic compounds from paints or materials.
• Besides considerations of thermal comfort, indoor air quality means that the
chemical composition of indoor air is clean and fresh.
• Several government and non-governmental organizations in America have
established indoor air quality standards, such as the American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air- Conditioning Engineers standard ASHRAE 189.1, which can be
used world wide.
• As people breathe in oxygen and breathe out CO2, air becomes “stale”; when CO2
concentrations are too high, occupants become tired, less happy, and have difficulty
concentrating.
• Bringing in fresh outside air with plenty of oxygen keeps people happier, more
energetic, and more alert.
• The LEED rating system has credits for both meeting and exceeding ASHRAE
standards for fresh air.
027
How much outside air is enough?
It depends on the program of the room. ASHRAE 62.1 Table 6.1 has a long
list of minimum outdoor air requirements for different types of room,
from offices to gymnasiums to bank vaults.
Materials For Clean Air

• Certain types of materials and finishes are very prone to emitting volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants.
• Volatile organic compounds release molecules to the surrounding air that
can be harmful to human health and/or the environment.
• VOCs are measured by the grams per liter of the substance that escape to
the outside air (g/L).
• Building products that typically contain VOCs are carpets, paints and
other finish coatings, sealants, adhesives, and products that use adhesives
extensively, such as furniture and other composite wood products.
028
Control
• Some advanced building information management systems adjust the rates of incoming
outdoor air to keep indoor air fresh enough and clean enough without using too much
energy.
• These control systems use CO2 sensors to test the freshness of air; especially advanced
ones even use pollutant sensors (particulates, VOCs, or others) to measure air cleanliness.
• Such systems can help conserve energy by only running ventilation systems when
necessary for occupant health and happiness.
029
Resource Use & Building
Buildings use energy, materials, water, and land to create the right environment for its
occupants. All of these things cost money – and all of them have an environmental impact.
These can be categorized as follows :-
1. Material Use
2. Energy System
3. Water Use
Material Use
Using more sustainable materials, using less material, and using materials in the right
constructions can improve the environmental impacts of building construction, lifetime, and
end-of-life.
• Why its important
Materials have their own environmental impacts from extraction and production, and they also
hugely affect the thermal, visual, and acoustic performance of the building.
The choice of materials and building products also drives costs on projects.
Materials are also important because they create the physical space that your building
occupants experience. Toxics or volatile organic compounds can negatively affect health.
• Metrics
Embodied energy or embodied carbon can be used as a measure of the environmental impact
of a material’s extraction, processing, manufacture, and distribution.
The lifecycle of the material is another important factor. Is it recyclable or biodegradable? Is it
made from recycled material or rapidly renewable materials?
• Design Strategies
It’s often a good strategy to re-use existing materials, locally available material, and use
recycled/recyclable materials.
• Embodied Energy of Materials
1. A material’s embodied energy is the energy that must be used to extract, transport, and
process the material.
2. For a product that doesn’t require energy during use, like a chair, the material’s embodied
energy is often the biggest source of carbon footprint and environmental impact.
3. A great way to reduce embodied energy is to specify recycled materials for your designs. For
example, using recycled aluminum can cut embodied energy by 90%.
030
What Makes A Material Sustainable?
031
Abundance vs. Waste
To make a profit in the 1920's, a copper mine had to get a kilo of

copper out of every four kilos of ore.
This meant small mines with high ore grades. But now mines
can afford to dig up A HUNDRED kilos of ore to get that same
kilo of copper.
The other 99 kilos become waste. So today, because copper

has become scarcer, mines are much larger and produce more
waste than they used to.
Sustainable Harvesting
Even certain renewable resources are becoming scarce.
Some trees, like Caribbean mahogany, are being harvested too

quickly and are becoming endangered.
When using wood, try to find sources that are certified as

sustainably harvested.
Materials like bamboo are called “rapidly renewable,” because

they can be re-grown and harvested fast enough to keep up
with heavy demand. This often makes them a good choice.
032
Embodied Energy, Including Manufacturing Processes
• It takes about forty mega joules of energy to mine and
manufacture one kilo of steel. But it takes nearly SIX TIMES MORE
energy to produce aluminum.
• Energy consumed this way is called "Embodied Energy." Usually
the material's carbon footprint is directly proportional to its
embodied energy.
• It’s not just energy that gets embodied in a product – other
resources like water are embodied in the same way.
• A great way to reduce the embodied energy and resources in your
products is to specify RECYCLED materials for your designs.
• Using recycled aluminum cuts the embodied energy by NINETY
PERCENT!
Embodied Energy For Non-Recycled Material Embodied Energy For Recycled Material
033
Climate Analysis
• Climate is the most important environmental factor and the first one that architects and
engineers should consider when designing a building.
• To achieve a net zero energy building, the design must consider the building’s specific
site climate.
• The climate can dictate what passive design strategies are most suitable and effective for
the building site.
• A site’s climate is dictated by its latitude, altitude, and terrain.
What is the basic difference in between climate and weather?
• Climate refers to the average atmospheric conditions over a long period of time where
weather refers to the daily temperatures and atmospheric conditions.
Solar Photovoltaic:-
• Solar photovoltaics (PVs) create electricity directly from sunlight. They are the most
common form of on-site clean energy generation.
• Solar PV is useful because it makes electricity without any pollution, moving parts, or
noise on-site. It is also abundant.
• Every day, the sun showers the Earth with over 5,000 times as much energy as is used by
all of humanity.
The amount of energy produced by PVs depends on five main factors:
1. The site conditions: latitude, longitude, and local weather
2. The orientation and exposure of the panels to the sun
3. The efficiency of the panels
4. The available area for panels
The power conversion electronics
System Orientation:-
• The more directly the sun shines on solar panels, the more energy they generate.
• The rule of thumb for the angle to mount P.V. Panels for optimal power generation over
the course of the year is to use the same angle as the latitude (in degrees).
• To maximize winter production, add 15 degrees. To maximize summer production,
subtract 15 degrees.
• Some P.V. systems are mounted on poles and motorized arrays to track the sun from east
to west as it moves through the day. These tracking systems can increase productivity as
much as 35%
034
Site Conditions
The first thing to determine the feasibility of a solar PV installation is the site conditions: how much sunlight hits the site? This is known
as "solar potential", "incident solar radiation", or sometimes "insolation". It is measured in Wh/m2/day or kWh/m2/year.

How Geothermal Heating and Cooling Works
• Think of the earth as a huge solar collector. At a depth of around 1.5–2m,
the ground varies from between 7–12ºC throughout the year and at
around 20m deep, the ground becomes a constant 10ºC.
• Outdoor temperatures fluctuate with the changing seasons but
underground temperatures don’t change as dramatically, thanks to
the insulating properties of the earth. Four to six feet below ground,
temperatures remain relatively constant year-round.
• A geothermal system, which typically consists of an indoor handling unit
and a buried system of pipes, called an earth loop, and/or a pump to
reinjection well, capitalizes on these constant temperatures to provide
“free” energy.
• The pipes that make up an earth loop are usually made of polyethylene
and can be buried under the ground horizontally or vertically, depending
on the characteristics of the site. Water is pumped up, run past a heat
exchanger, and then the water is returned to the same aquifer, through
“reinjection.”
• In winter, fluid circulating through the system’s earth loop or well
absorbs stored heat from the ground and carries it indoors. The indoor
unit compresses the heat to a higher temperature and distributes it
throughout the building, as if it were an air conditioner running in reverse.
• In summer, the geothermal HVAC system pulls heat from the building
and carries it through the earth loop/pump to reinjection well, where it
deposits the heat into the cooler earth/aquifer.
• Unlike ordinary heating and cooling systems, geothermal HVAC systems
do not burn fossil fuel to generate heat; they simply transfer heat to and
from the earth. Typically, electric power is used only to operate the unit’s
fan, compressor, and pump.
037
• Most geothermal heat pump systems have COPs of 3.0 to 5.0. This means for
every unit of energy used to power the system, three to five units are supplied
as heat.
• Geothermal systems require little maintenance. When installed properly, which
is critical, the buried loop can last for generations.
• The unit’s fan, compressor, and pump are housed indoors, protected from the
harsh weather conditions, so they tend to last for many years, often decades.
Usually, periodic checks and filter changes and annual coil cleaning are the only
required maintenance.
Advantages of ground-source energy:
• Completely renewable energy source
• Save up to 75% of heating requirements
• and 85% of cooling requirements
• Year round usage
• Hidden from view
• Reduces CO2 emissions
038

Sustainable Site Design Strategies
• Sustainable sites maintain and or regenerate soils and vegetation, manage and filter storm water, and create advantageous micro-climate
conditions.
• Healthy landscapes provide numerous benefits to humankind that can be endangered by development.
• Sustainable site practices minimize development impacts and restore disturbed landscapes.
• Site Considerations:
1. Water – capture, slow, and treat storm water by reducing impervious surfaces, creating rain gardens, green roofs, and wetlands.
2. Soils – protect and preserve healthy soils by minimizing grading, soil compaction and native vegetation removal.
3. Vegetation – preserve and restore trees together with climate-adaptive, non-invasive native vegetation.
4. Locate and manage vegetation to mitigate potential fire hazards, block winter winds, and shade walls, walkways, and hard surfaces during
warm periods.
DESIGN STRATEGIES
042
Design Strategies
Vegetative Cooling
• Trees and vegetation shade buildings and surfaces, while water evaporating through their leaves lowers nearby air temperatures.
• Shaded walls and surfaces may be 11–25°C (20–45°F) cooler than unshaded surfaces.
• Temperatures under a canopy of shade trees may be reduced 1–5°C (2–9°F) compared to open terrain, and 11–17°C (20–30°F) compared to
parking lots.
Locate:
• Trees on the east, west, southeast, and southwest sides of a building (east, west, northeast, and northwest in southern latitudes).
• Ground cover and shrubs around buildings to lower air temperatures and reduce reflected sunlight.
• Trees in courtyards, parking areas, and adjacent to walkways.
• Vegetated pergolas and trees with a high canopy provide shade and allow in beneficial winds.
043
Design Strategies
Water Catchment And Storage
• Water catchment systems divert and store rainwater, providing a clean, free water source that reduces storm water runoff as well as
demand on potable water supplies.
• A typical system collects water from a roof piped to a storage tank where it can be used for both potable (drinkable) and non-potable
purposes such as landscaping, toilet flushing and clothes washing.
• Each square meter (square foot) of roof area will capture 7.37 liters (0.46 gallons) of rainwater for one centimeter (inch) of rainfall.
Sizing the system:
• Storage tank capacity (liters) = water catchment area (m2) x rainfall (cm) x 7.38
• Storage tank capacity (gallons) = water catchment area (ft2) x rainfall (inches) x 0.46
044
Design Strategies
Green Roof:
Green roofs provide water retention, green space, and improved water and air quality while reducing energy consumption.
Both roof vegetation and soil increase roof insulation, reducing ambient air temperatures and building energy consumption.
Green roofs retain rainfall, alleviate pressure on sewer systems, protect roofing membranes, reduce noise, and filter pollutants.
Green roofs categories:
Extensive: 60-200 mm thickness (2½-8 inches) – green protection layer for roofs with little load-bearing capacity. Shallow soil suitable for less
demanding plants (low maintenance).
Semi-intensive: 120-250 mm (4½-10 inches) – green roof with deeper soils, planted with grasses and shrubs (higher maintenance).
Intensive: 150-1,000 mm (6-39 inches) – roof garden with permanent irrigation and deep soils, suitable for lawns, shrubs, and trees, walkways,
and even playgrounds and pools (highest maintenance).

046
Design Strategies
Forms For Daylight
• A building shape with a narrow floor plate maximizes exterior wall area for incorporating glazing to daylight interior spaces.
• When developing a building shape, consider how best to admit daylight into the building.
• Use the 4.5 / 9 meter (15 / 30 foot) rule-of-thumb for developing building shapes and floor plates with:
• A 4.5 meter (15 foot) perimeter zone depth for task daylighting; and An adjacent 4.5 meter (15 foot) zone with ambient daylighting.
• Building floor plates can be elongated, curved, or organized into many shapes.
• Buildings elongated in the east-west direction expose the longer north and south sides for controlled daylighting, and high ceilings and windows
allow for greater interior daylight penetration.
• Buildings with large floor plates can introduce daylight through atrium’s and courtyards.
• Low-rise and one-story structures can be any shape since interior spaces have access to the roof for daylighting.
047
Design Strategies
Side Daylighting
• Exterior wall glazing provides acceptable interior task-daylight levels at a depth of 1.5 to 2 times the height of a glazing.
• A light shelf added to a glazed opening will reflect daylight deeper into a space, and can increase the daylighting depth to 2.5 times the
height of the glazed opening.
• Size the glazing area as a percentage of the floor area to be day-lit: Lighting Level Aperture Area / Day-lit Floor Area Adequate 15-25% (or
25% to 40% of the exterior wall area) Minimum 10-15%.
• Make the side walls, back wall and ceiling a light color to evenly distribute daylight and prevent glare.
048
Design Strategies
Side Daylighting Control
• Shielding the direct line of sight to the sun, or other concentrated bright light source, reduces the contrast between surfaces and prevents
glare.
• Direct sunlight on critical task areas (e.g., work areas, desk, TV or computer screens, reading areas, etc.), And the presence of high
brightness in the field of view, causes a high degree of contrast between surfaces or uncomfortable glare.
• Block the direct line of sight to the sun using the following strategies:
• East/West Glazing: horizontal or vertical louvers (internal or external)
• Solar Glazing (facing the equator): light shelves or horizontal louvers (internal or external) Other Glazing (facing the poles): vertical louvers.
• Make louvers a light color to reflect daylight into a space.
• An exterior louvered overhang above solar glazing allows more daylight into a space while also blocking unwanted summer sun.
049
Design Strategies
Top Daylighting
• Skylights, roof monitors and clerestories introduce and distribute daylight to spaces with exposure to the roof plane.
• The advantage of top daylighting is access to the entire sky-dome, consistent distribution of daylight, easier glare control, and the
daylighting of interior spaces and large floor area spaces of any shape.
• Make the daylighting glazing area a minimum of 10% to 20% of the floor area to be day-lit.
• In critical task areas, filter and distribute direct sunlight over a space by using a translucent glazing material, intercepting direct sunlight with
baffles and reflectors, or bounce sunlight high off a light-colored interior surface or wall.
• Shade the glazing from direct sunlight in summer.
050
Design Strategies
Top Daylighting Control
• Top daylighting architectural elements (e.g., reflective baffles, banners, light scoops, or fixtures) act as direct sunlight diffusers, reducing
glare and creating softer, uniform daylighting levels.
• Direct sunlight from clerestories, skylights, or roof monitors can create uncomfortable conditions and excessive brightness in critical task
areas (e.g., sunlight on work areas, desk, TV or computer screens, reading areas, etc.).
• To control direct sunlight:-
• Reflect sunlight high off an interior wall to eliminate brightness patches in the field of view.
• Incorporate light diffusing baffles, light shelves or banners to intercept, soften and distribute direct sunlight.
• Use diffusing glazing or reflect direct sunlight off skylight or clerestory sidewalls.
• Shade clerestory and skylight glazing from direct sunlight in summer to reduce solar heat gain.
051
Design Strategies
Intermediate Light Shelves
• Intermediate light shelves divide solar glazing, reduce glare and evenly distribute daylight in a space.
• Intermediate light shelves eliminate direct sunlight on critical task areas located near a solar glazed window (facing the equator), and reflect
sunlight to the ceiling where it is evenly redistributed.
• Light shelves can extend the depth of side daylighting to 2.5 times the height of the glazed opening.
• Design a light shelf so that:
• It is a minimum of 60 cm (2 ft.) from the ceiling. It shades the lower glazing in summer.
• The depth of an interior light shelf is equal to the height of the glazing above it.
• Make the upper glazing area a minimum of 8% to 11% of the floor area to be day-lit, and the surface of the light shelf and ceiling white in
color.
• Make the floor to ceiling height of the space a minimum of 3 meters (9ft.)
052
Design Strategies
Shading Devices
• Intercepting sunlight before it reaches the walls and glazing of a building dramatically reduces the amount of heat entering that building.
• External shading devices can reduce solar heat gain through glazing by up to 80%.
• By designing shading devices according to the sun’s seasonal path, both summer shading and winter solar gain can be achieved in climates
with seasonal variations.
• Incorporate the following shading strategies:
• Horizontal overhangs or louvers for solar orientations (facing the equator); and Vertical fins and egg-crate designs for other orientations.
• Adjustable shading devices can be repositioned to allow for seasonal temperature variations or user control during unusually warm or cool
periods.
• Additional shading strategies include recessing glazed openings, and incorporating porches, balconies, and mature vegetation to shade east
and west walls as well as outdoor areas.
053
Design Strategies
Stack Ventilation
• Openings located low and high, and on opposite sides of a space, create a ‘stack effect’ – warm indoor air rising out through high openings,
drawing in cooler outdoor air through low openings.
• Using the air’s buoyancy resulting from a difference in its temperature - climates with a minimum 1.7°C (3°F) difference between indoor and
outdoor temperatures - the stack effect in a space, or within a ventilation shaft, will induce an air current that removes hot air from a space or
building.
• Guidelines for locating inlet and outlet openings:
• Residential spaces – a minimum of 3 meters (10 feet) apart in height.
• Commercial spaces – a minimum of 4.6 meters (15 feet) apart in height.
• The greater the height between openings, the greater the air movement.
• Locate inlet openings below the height of an occupants’ upper body – 0.76 m to 1.37 m (2½ ft. to 4½ ft.) above finished floor.
054
Design Strategies
Evaporative Cooling Tower
• In hot-dry climates, evaporative cooling towers will cool outdoor air and circulate it to a space or building.
• Evaporating water at the top of a cooling tower creates a downdraft of cooler air that can then be circulated to a specific space or area.
• The amount of cool air from the tower is dependent on outdoor humidity, the height of the tower, and the amount of water being
evaporated.
Configure an evaporative cooling tower:
• A minimum of twice the height of the space to be cooled, with a cross-sectional area of approximately
3 m2 (33 ft2) for residential applications
6 m2 (64 ft2) for commercial applications
• The higher the tower, the greater the amount of air delivered. Make the area of the outlet opening (delivering the cooled air) as large as the
cross-section of the cooling tower.
055
Design Strategies
Double Roof
• In hot climates, a structure located just above the roof shades the roof and allows warm air buildup between the roof and structure to
escape.
• In hot climates, direct sunlight is the largest contributor to building cooling loads. Because a roof receives the most direct sunlight over a
day, a double roof, or shade structure above the roof, will reduce cooling requirements.
In hot climates:
• Incorporate a double roof structure separated by an air cavity; and
• Extend the roof-line to shade exterior walls, and create shaded outdoor living spaces.
• Use cross ventilation or ridge vents to ventilate the air cavity between the roofs.
A double-roof structure, located high above a roof, can also provide shading for an outdoor roof garden or terrace.
056
Design Strategies
Cool Roof
• In hot climates, and climates with hot summers, a light colored roof reflects sunlight, remains cooler, offsets CO2 warming, and reduces the
amount of heat transferred to the interior of a building.
• Cool roofs have surfaces that reflect sunlight and emit or discharge heat efficiently, keeping them cooler on sunny days.
• The two surface properties that determine a roof’s temperature are solar reflectance and thermal emittance, which range on a scale
from 0 to 1.
• The larger the two values are, the cooler the roof will be.
• Make the roof surface a light color and chose a roofing material that has a surface:
Solar Reflectance (SR) of > 0.7; and Thermal Emittance (TE) of > 0.75.
• In hot climates, cool roofs can help mitigate urban heat islands, reflect solar radiation back to space, and keep indoor spaces comfortable.

Conclusion
After comparing the three sites, I have selected the solapur site because,
• As latur and jalgaon already has more the 5 residential schools near by which whereas solapur has only 1 school in its vicinity.
• Solapur being the largest town as compared to latur and jalgaon.
• Population of solapur is 4 time more than jalgaon and latur as this would help me getting more number of students and people who could
work there.
• I find solapur to be more suitable as per my project needs.
• As the site is surrounded by some residential buildings its more likely to get some local people who could work in that school.

• What’s the problem?

• Buildings account for 40% of energy use worldwide (WBCSD).

To keep people comfortable you’ll need to use the right combination

Passive design strategies use ambient energy sources instead of

Active design strategies use purchased energy to keep the building

1/3 of Energy Use is Thermal Comfort

Things Need to be Considered:-

Adding R Value Using Conduction
