o Major stages of a conventional building during its life cicle
• Sustainability: social, economic, environment
• ! the operations of buildings account 30% of global energy consumption +
26% of global energy-related emissions.
• Operational energy:
- Energie die een gebouw verbruikt tijdens zijn gebruiksfase
- energie voor verwarming, koeling, ventilatie, verlichting, warm water en
apparatuur tijdens de levensduur van het gebouw.
• Embodied energy:
- energie die nodig was om materialen te maken of het gebouw te
bouwen
• use of renewable energy is a beginning in a energy use transitions
o Why is CO2 so important:
• It is always in the atmosphere: carbon cycle
• excessive concentrations of CO2, it growth exponentially => the work of
the plants isn’t enough to transform CO2 in oxygen (zuurstof)
• CO2-problem => enorm temperature increase
• Consequence:
- Floods
- animal dead caused by drought (droogte)
- coral reefs affected by acidification (verzuring)
- fires
take a role by designing of new buildings, to minimalize this problems
, 2.Case study: Casa Alero
o = sustainable housing prototype developed for the solar
decathlon (wedstrijd) Latin America & Caribbean (close
to Ecuador line => hot + high humidity => cooling = !!)
o Project: demonstrate a comfortable, energy-efficient,
environmentally sustainable dwelling (heel afhankelijk
van omgeving!)
o applications:
• Green roofs = thermal insulation:
- Different layers: filter (textile), drainage, substrate, grass
- System to collect water => to growth the grass
• Decrease artificial lighting
• Cross-ventilation
• Efficient + flexible plan
• Photovoltaic solar panels: optimum + efficient angle
• System to collect water => to a water tank
• Bamboo: façade material + recycle materials
Sustainability in ecol + soc conditions
o Research to environmental conditions: sun and wind pad
o Thermal comfort analysis:
• Thermal comfort: 21 – 25 °C
• In some periods it isn’t possible => possible to mitigate the effect of
external temperature, reducing the intense use of active cooling systems
• Red = environmental conditions => in the noon very high temperature
• Green roof with recycled HDPE trays => a big gap between red
