Energy Analysis Results and Discussion
INTRODUCTION
One of the intended goals of SHADE's design and construction is to implement technologies and building approaches
that result in a residence with a lower energy demand than a conventionally constructed house. This kind of design
approach,coupledwiththePVarraytogenerateelectricitywillresultinanetzeroresidence.Thefinaldecisionsabout
which technologies, materials, and methods used were reached based on the combined considerations of energy
efficiency, demand reduction, affordability, availability to Team ASUNM based on purchase price and sponsorship,
applicability for current and future markets, and innovation. This last criterion was given large weight since the design
and construction of SHADE represents an opportunity to experiment with systems and approaches that are not yet
widelyadopted,butmaybecomesoifadequatedemonstrationcanbemadeoftheirefficacy.
SHADE is designed for the Phoenix climate, which is characterized by high average air temperatures yearround, very
highsummertemperatures,lowrelativehumidity,andhighinsolation.Majorconstraintsonthedesignincludefindinga
balancebetweenaffordableconstruction,lowenergydemandsforcoolingandheating,andappropriateuseofdaylight

METHODSANDTOOLS
A variety of software application and analysis tools have been used at various points throughout the design and
constructionprocessofSHADE.Someofthesearebrieflydescribedbelow.
eQuest: This application is available as a free download from the US Department of Energy. It is a valuable tool for
quickly and easily estimating cooling and heating loads, as well as evaluating the effects of changing envelope
parameters such as size and placement of windows, and Rvalues of walls. However, eQuest does not currently easily
incorporateradiantcoolingintoitssimulations.

ENVELOPEDESIGNANALYSISANDLOADCALCULATIONRESULTS
Oneofthefirststepstowardsdesigningenergyefficientbuildingsinvolvesexaminingtheclimateinwhichthebuilding
will operate. Another important step involves closely examining the effects of envelope components on the energy
consumption of the building. In most detached residences, envelope loads constitute the largest single component of
coolingandheatingloads.
Weatherdataandoutdoordesignconditions
Average weather data for Phoenix are available in many forms, including as Typical Meteorological year (TMY) Data,
which are useful for building energy simulation software, and as tabulated average weather data such as those
presented in the NREL Blue and Red Books. While TMY data are the most suitable for detailed energy analysis and
simulation,theRedBookandBluebookdataarepresentedasmonthlyaverages,whichisconvenientforanoverallidea

Heatingandcoolingloadanalysis
Themaincontributiontocoolingloadwasfoundtobethesize,placement,andshadingofwindows.Samplesofresults
can be seen in Figure 3, showing the influence of window area and shading structures. The results of this energy
modeling helped guide the architectural design team in the placement and sizing of glazing and shading features. The
effect of envelope Rvalue was known to be important during the design process. These effects were explored
quantitatively.
Figure3:Simplifiedrenderingsofthecontestprototype,producedineQuestandshowingshadestructures.
Clockwisefromaboveleft,South,West,EastandNorth.
In addition to software energy modeling, analyses of building cooling loads were carried out using the ASHRAE CLTD
method for residential heating and cooling load calculations, using a spreadsheet. A comparison was made of peak
cooling load based on varying the Rvalues of the walls and roof. This analysis was carried out using a building design
thatisslightlymodifiedcomparedtothefinaldesignofSHADE.Therefore,thevalueofthepeakloadishigherthanthe
final peak cooling load for SHADE. However, the trend still holds true. This analysis compared the cooling loads for R
valuesrangingfromtheminimumof13requiredbytheIRCto60,ahighRvalue.ItcanbeseenfromFigure4thatthere

FEATURESWHOSECONTRIBUTIONISDIFFICULTTOQUANTIFY
Some of the features implemented in SHADE contribute to energy savings in ways that have proven to be difficult to
quantify.Forexample,someoftheinteriorwallsfeatureaclayfinishthatpassivelyabsorbsanddesorbshumidityfrom
the air. Passive humidity control reduces the latent load needing to be satisfied mechanically; however, the extent to
whichthistranslatestoreducedfanelectricityconsumptionisdifficulttoquantifywithoutextensivetestingorcomplex
simulation.
AnotherexampleisthePhaseChangeMaterialsplacedinthefloor,abovetheceiling,andinthewalls.Thismaterialis
meanttobehaveinawaysimilartothermalmass;itseffectistoslowdowntemperaturechangesandlowertheoverall
peak temperature. These effects can be quantified somewhat and expected values are given by the manufacturer;
however, the behavior in individual applications with varying ratios of mass to surface or volume defy simple analysis.
Furthermore, as with the analysis of the thermal storage unit, the process of phase change and its modeling or
simulationintroducecomplicationsnotwellapproximatedwithsimplemodels.
Many of the building modeling packages available have a broad range of application for conventional buildings: those
usingforcedairsystemsandstandardconstructionmethods.However,mostofthemonlyapplywithgreatcaution,or
difficulty, or both, to a building with unconventional features such as a radiant ceiling or envelopeincorporated phase
change materials. While this poses a challenge to those seeking to justify the use of unconventional features
quantitatively,italsopresentsanopportunityforimprovementandexpansionofmodelingandsimulationpackages.
CONCLUSION
The major elements contributing to the energy analysis of SHADE have been presented and discussed. The major
systemscontributingtoenergyproduction,consumption,andmanagementincludethecooling,heating,ventilation,PV,
and controls systems. The effect of envelope construction and geometry was investigated, and it was seen that the
envelope features employed in the construction of SHADE reduced its energy usage compared to conventional
construction methods. The effect of a shallower tilt angle for the PV array compared to standard practice was
investigated and this arrangement was found to give higher outputs in summer, when the largest electricity demands
occur due to high cooling loads. Estimates of annual electricity use were generated based on real data from the
equipmentinSHADEandassumptionsaboutschedulingbasedontypicalresidentialusagepatterns.SHADEispredicted
to be net positive for the year in Phoenix, and net zero for the contest in Irvine. Finally, there are several aspects of
SHADEs construction whose contributions to energy savings are expected to be noticeable, but which are difficult to
accurately quantify and analyze. These aspects contribute to the innovation of SHADE, which can serve as an example

2.04 FABRICATION
A. Shop assembly to occur per the manufacturers approved production drawings.
B. Fabrication tolerances per manufacturer.
C. Fabrication requiring welding shall be performed in accordance with the current American Welding Society's standards.
D. The manufacturers identification shall be stamped into the metal or wood part and a label may be attached to the part
with adhesive.
2.05 TESTING
A. Allowable loads published in manufacturer's catalog to be determined using the minimum load from static and/or cyclic
analysis and one or more of the following test methods:
1. Static load tests in wood assemblies
2. Static load tests in steel jigs
3. Static load tests of products embedded in concrete or masonry
B. Testing to determine allowable loads shall be performed as per the applicable ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria or ASTM
standard.
C. Allowable loads for hangers are determined by a static load test resulting in not more than a 1/8" deflection of the joist
relative to the header, or either the lowest of 3 or average of 6 ultimate load divided by 3, or the fastener allowable load as
determined by the NDS, whichever is lowest.
D. Manufacturer to provide code testing data on all products that have been code tested upon request.
PART3 EXECUTION
3.01 EXAMINATION
A. Unless otherwise noted in the manufacturer's catalog, allowable loads are for Douglas Fir-Larch under continuously dry
conditions. Allowable loads for other species or conditions must be adjusted according to the code. See manufacturer's
catalog for additional notes and requirements.
B. Built up lumber (multiple members) must be fastened together to act as one unit to resist the applied load.
C. Verify that the dimensions of the supporting member are sufficient to receive the specified fasteners.
3.02 INSTALLATION
A. Unless otherwise noted in the manufacturer's catalog, bolts, screws and/or nails shall not be combined.
B. All nails shall be common unless otherwise noted in the manufacturer's catalog or substituted by the engineer of record
with a reduction taken.
C. Unless otherwise noted in the manufacturer's catalog, bending steel in the field may cause fractures at the bend line.
Fractured steel will not carry the allowable load and must be replaced. When bending is allowed or required in the
catalog, the connector shall be allowed one cycle bend, one time only.
D. Galvanized connectors should not be placed in contact with treated wood unless the treated wood is adequately verified
to be suitable for such contact. Some wood treatments may accelerate metal deterioration. See the manufacturer's
catalog for specific recommendations.
E. A fastener that splits the wood will not carry the allowable load. Evaluate splits to determine if the connection will perform
as required. Dry wood will split more easily and should be evaluated as needed. If wood tends to split, consider pre-

greater use: 5/32" for SDS, 5/64" for SD9 or SD10, and 1/16" for SD8 (2005 NDS 11.1.4 and 11.1.5.3).
F. Wood shrinkage will be taken into consideration when designing and installing connections.
G. Built-up lumber (multiple members) must be fastened together to act as one unit to resist the applied load.
H. Top flange hangers may cause unevenness. Possible remedies should be evaluated by a professional and include using
a face mount hanger, routering the beam, or cutting the subfloor to accommodate the top flange thickness.
I. Do not overload by exceeding the manufacturer's catalog allowable load values.
J . Unless otherwise noted in the manufacturer's catalog, fill all fastener holes with fastener types as specified in the
manufacturer's catalog.
K. All specified fasteners must be installed according to the instructions in the manufacturer's catalog.
L. Bolt holes shall be a minimum of 1/32" and a maximum of 1/16" larger than the bolt diameter (2005 NDS 11.1.2.2).
M. Install all specified fasteners before loading the connection.
N. Use proper safety equipment.
O. Welding shall be in accordance with the Welding Society (AWS) standards.
P. Welding galvanized steel may produce harmful fumes. Follow proper welding procedures and safety precautions.
Q. Nail tools with hole-location mechanisms may be used to install connectors, provided the correct quantity and type of nails
are properly installed in the nail holes.
R. The joist shall bear completely on the connector seat the gap between the joist end and the header or back plate of the
hanger shall not exceed 1/8".
S. The installer of ATS systems shall cut rods to length as required.
T. Anchor bolt nuts should be finger-tight plus 1/3 to turn with a wrench. Do not use an impact wrench to tighten nuts on
the anchor bolts.
U. Modifications to products or changes in installation procedures should only be made by a qualified designer. The
performance of such modified products or altered installation procedure is the sole responsibility of the designer.
