GREEN BUILDING INDEX ENERGY USAGE IN BUILDINGS


Wasteful use of energy is affecting our planet and our environment. If we design, build and manage our buildings so the need for energy is reduced, only then our effort will make a real difference.

KEY ISSUES

MS1525:2007 is a Code of Practice (CP), and is intended to be incorporated into UBBL, hence a CP becomes part of a By-law. a) Applies to non-residential, air-conditioned buildings, > 4,000 sq m. Architects and Engineers must submit OTTV & RTTV calculations. Requirement for Energy Management Control system is under Clause 9.

KEY ISSUES

MS1525:2007 provides the baseline minimum standard for the GBI rating tools for energy efficient design. a) If design falls below the requirements of MS1525:2007, it is unlikely to be rated. Reward for designs that are better than the baseline minimum requirements of MS1525:2007. GBI (Residential) adopts same methods of measurement found in MS1525:2007.

BUILDING ENVELOPE

MS1525:2007 Clause 5.1 says


Fundamentally, the building envelope has to block out heat gain into buildings via conduction and radiation. In other words, the building envelope shall provide resistance to heat gain.

GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

THERMAL RESISTANCE

Heat energy flows from a hot object to a cooler object. Whenever there is a temperature gradient, heat transfer will always occur. It can never be stopped, and it can only be slowed.
GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

THERMAL RESISTANCE
Relationships between thermal resistance, thermal conductivity and U-value 1. 2. In heat transfer, the Thermal Conductivity, k of a material is its ability to conduct heat. Generally, thermal conductivity approx tracks electrical conductivity, as moving electrons transfer not only electric current, but also heat energy. Therefore, heat conductivity through layers of materials in a composite wall construction is analogous to adding up the resistance in an electric circuit connected in series.
GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

3.

THERMAL RESISTANCE
Relationships between thermal resistance, thermal conductivity and U-value 4. Thermal Resistance, R of each material is R = (material thickness) (thermal conductivity, k) 5. 6. 7. Increasing the thickness of the material will increase its thermal resistance. In a composite wall construction, the total R is Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 +...+ Rn. Therefore, Rtotal is the sum of the thermal resistance of all the respective materials making up the composite wall.
GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

THERMAL RESISTANCE
Relationships between thermal resistance, thermal conductivity and U-value 8. U-value of the wall is the heat transmission value of the composite wall in W/m2K, and is inversely proportional to the total R, ie, U = 1 / Rtotal. 9. The higher the R, the lower the U, the better.

THERMAL RESISTANCE
Roof Thermal Resistance and SRI

GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

THERMAL RESISTANCE
Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) 1. SRI is a measure of a roofing materials ability to reflect solar heat, and hence, reduce heat absorption; Standard black is 0, standard white is 1; Materials with the highest SRI values are the best (and coolest!) choices for roofing.

2. 3.

GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

THERMAL RESISTANCE
Albedo and SRI The albedo of an object or a surface is the extent to which it reflects light from the Sun. Generally, a light coloured surface has a higher albedo. It is shown as SRI, and ranges from 0 to 1. Eg Material Black acrylic paint Bare soil New asphalt New concrete Concrete w Portland cement White acrylic paint SRI 0.05 0.17 0.40 0.40 - 0.50 0.70 - 0.80 0.80

OTTV, Roof U-value and RTTV

MS1525:2007 Clause 5.2


OTTV applies to building envelope

MS1525:2007 Clause 5.5


Roof U-value refers to the thermal transmittance of the roof construction

RTTV applies to roof with skylights

GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

CONCEPT OF OTTV

MS1525:2007 Clause 5.2 says


A design criterion for building envelope known as the Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) has been adopted. The OTTV aims at achieving the design of building envelope to cut down external heat gain and hence reduce the cooling load of the airconditioning system. The OTTVshould not exceed 50 W / m2
GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

OTTV FORMULA

MS1525:2007 Clause 5.2.1 says


The OTTV of building envelope is given by the formula:

A OTTV =

o1

x OTTV + A

o2

x OTTV ...... + A
2 o2 on

on

x OTTV

o1

+ A ...... + A

where A1 is the gross exterior wall area for orientation 1; OTTV1 is the OTTV value for orientation 1; and OTTV for the whole building < 50 W/m2
GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

OTTV FORMULA

MS1525:2007 Clause 5.2.2 says


The formula for the OTTV of any given wall orientation is as follows:

Solar radiation and glazing - key issues


1. Glass Shading Coefficient (SC)
is the amount of solar energy that passes through the glass, relative to a 3mm clear glass tested under similar conditions. A low value means less heat passes through the glass. Eg, a glazing with a SC of 0.45 would allow only 45% as much solar energy to pass through as would a 3mm clear glass.
GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

SOLAR HEAT GAIN THROUGH WINDOWS

Solar radiation and glazing - key issues


2. Visible Light Transmittance (VLT)
is the fraction of visible light at a specified wavelength that passes through the glass. Usually quoted between 0 and 1, a high value means more light passes through the glass. Eg, a glazing with a VLT of 0.70 would allow 70% of visible light to pass through.

Solar radiation and glazing - key issues


3. Insulated Glazing Units (IGU)
are multiple glass panes assembled into units to insulate against heat and sound. Most IGUs are double glazed (DGUs), but some IGUs have three sheets or more. IGUs are becoming more common due to higher energy costs.

GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

Solar radiation and glazing - key issues


Heat insulation of the IGUs can be further improved through the use of: 1. Tinted glass 2. Coated glass 3. Low-Emissivity glass (Low-E) - reflects away long-wave infrared radiation - hard coat or soft coat

WAYS TO IMPROVE OTTV


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Identify which component contributes the most to OTTV. Review Solar Correction Factor (CF) in Table 4. Review glass selection and its Shading Coefficient (SC). Review sunshades and its Shading Coefficient (SC) in Tables 5, 6 and 7. Review WWR.

ROOF U-value

MS1525:2007 Clause 5.5 says


The calculation of OTTV does not include the roof plane, but the thermal transmittance (Roof U-value) of the roof construction is important.

GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

ROOF U-value
U-value OF ROOFS U-values are worked out from the Thermal Resistance of the respective materials making up the Roof. U-value is the heat transmission value of the composite roof in W/m2K, and is inversely proportional to R, ie, U = 1 / Rtotal The higher the R, the lower the U, the better.

Clause 5.6.1 The concept of RTTV applies if the roof is provided with skylight, and the entire enclosure below is fully air-conditioned. Clause 5.6.2 The maximum recommended RTTV is 25 W/m2.

MS1525:2007 Clause 4.5


The exterior wall and cladding systems should be designed to provide an integrated solution for the provision of view, daylight control, passive and active solar energy collection and moisture management systems while minimizing heat gain.

DAYLIGHTING DAYLIGHT GLARE CONTROL


Reduce discomfort of glare from natural light. Blinds or screens fitted on all glazing and atrium as a base building must meet the following provisions: 1) Eliminate glare from all direct sunlight; 2) Eliminate glare from diffused sky radiation; 3) Control with automatic monitoring system with manual override accessible to occupants.
GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

DAYLIGHTING DAYLIGHTING ESSENTIALS


1. Bring the light in from high, above the view plane 2. Diffuse sunlight inside the space. Do not allow beam sunlight to strike work surfaces. 3. Use only North and South vertical windows 4. Choose the glazing carefully.

GREENBUILDINGINDEX SDN BHD | www.greenbuildingindex.org

DAYLIGHTING STRATEGIES

1 2
1. 2.

3 4

3. 4.

Locate a continuous strip of narrow windows up high. Add a few view windows for visual connection to the outside. These have a low visible transmittance (VLT 0.2 to 0.3), to balance the luminance of the walls with the luminance of the outside. Every work place in the building should have view windows. Introduce light eggshell white color in the upper part of the room to bounce the light across the room. Add mid-to-light colors in the lower part of the room.
