Images of My Analysis Results

Please paste two screenshots here, based on the options you chose to complete:

• For Option 1, paste a screenshot of the Benchmark Comparison Graph showing the overall prediction for the energy use given the settings selected.

Option 1: Building Performance Analysis

Upload your brief one-page summary of your recommended settings to reach your building performance goal to ACC Docs, then embed a public link here.

Be sure to include your recommendations for the top 10 most important factors (excluding HVAC). For each of the factors:

• Take a screenshot showing the range of values that you selected to be included in the analysis.
• Briefly explain (in a sentence or two) why you’ve narrowed the range down to the values selected.

• the operating schedule range includes the BIM values as well as 12/5 due to the fact that this is an office building that will only be used 5 days a week for 12 hours each day. The BIM values are also included in case project members wish to use values of similar buildings that have become more standard within the practice.

• plug load efficiency includes the BIM and the two lowest plug load efficiencies available because as a new building, these energy savings are possible and not costly to implement. Decreasing the plug loads drastically impact energy efficiency, so they should be invested in.

• The lowest wattage per square foot is the only value within this range because only extremely efficient LED lighting will be used in this structure in order to decrease total energy per square footage. LED lights are standard and inexpensive these days, so this is a doable factor to decrease.

• The BIM value, the 12.25 in SIP, and the r38 wood values are included in the range because they are the lowest values available and these align with the wall constructions of many surrounding buildings and they provide the most energy savings. No other values were included due to high costs of implementation for little pay off.

• This range does not include triple LoE glass because this glass is extremely costly for not much pay off compared to dblclr and dblloe glasses.

• This range is not very wide due to the fact that there was no drastic change in the annual energy consumption of the building and it is important to the design team to maintain aesthetics of the windows in the design.

• This range includes all available options due to the fact that the energy consumption for the site did not change by a large enough margin to make changes to the window to wall ratio.

• This range includes all available options due to the fact that the energy consumption for the site did not change by a large enough margin to make changes to the window to wall ratio.

• This range includes all available options due to the fact that the energy consumption for the site did not change by a large enough margin to make changes to the infiltration of the space.

• This range includes all available options due to the fact that the energy consumption for the site did not change by a large enough margin to make expensive changes to the glass type.
