PDX_09_Alternative Energy Systems And Tech Flashcards
High production, used for heat or power, no emissions and reduces landfill burden
Biofuel
Systematic investigation process applied to existing buildings to improve and optimize operating/maintenance
Retro commissioning
Not a comparatively cost-effective system typically
PV systems
Standard 90.1 applies to buildings not less than
Three stories or less residential, and single-family residential
Compliance to standard 90.1 is required for
LEED certification, and federal facilities
Reduce potable water use in irrigation and fixtures by using
Drip irrigation or low flow/graywater appliances
The sum of all energy required to extract, process, deliver, and install materials needed to construct a building
Embodied energy
Term used in historic preservation when you designate certain areas to be repaired or restored at a later date, under a later contract
Mothballing
Process of adapting old structures for purposes other than those initially intended while retaining their historic features
Adaptive reuse
The act or process of applying measures necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity and materials of a historic property
Preservation
Least amount of work done to the building and any interventions are as inconspicuous as possible
Preservation
Retain and repair historic materials, but some replacement of damaged material is okay, as our additions that convey historic values
Rehabilitation
Remove inconsistent features and replace missing features in accordance with the restoration.
Restoration
New construction to look like how something existed at earlier times
Reconstruction
This criteria must be met if federal tax credits will be used
Secretary of Interior’s standard for rehabilitation
Three models for measuring the embodied energy in the historic building were developed in
Assessing the energy conservation benefits of historic preservation.
Concept model.
Inventory model.
Survey model.
Embodied energy in historic buildings:
A planning approach where various building types are given embodied energy values based on the square footage. Gives a rough estimate.
Concept model
Embodied energy in historic buildings:
Uses an accurate accounting of the material used in construction. More accurate than building type approach.
Inventory model
Embodied energy in historic buildings:
Assumes that most of the embodied energy into building is contained in the bulk of the architectural materials.
Survey model
What evaluating the benefits of renovation over new construction the question of how much energy is in______must be considered.
Building demolition
ASHRAE 90.1
(Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings)
min requirements for energy efficient design
except low-rise residential buildings.
