Module 3 - Project Goals Targets & Strategies
- Project Goals that will guide your design decision-making
- Utilizes newest sustainable technologies
- Community oriented
- Measures that can be used to quantify the performance of your design relative to each goal
- Net Site Energy
- Net source Energy
- Net energy emissions
- Net Energy Cost
- Target Values for each of the measures
- As low as I can get them to be depending on the location and available resources. I want to try to reach a net energy emissions of 0
- Strategies that you’d like to explore for achieving these targets
- Take advantage of solar collection systems: heat sinks / solar panels
- Site orientation to soak up the most sunlight energy during the summer months to sell back to the grid and reduce net energy cost during winter months.
- Reduce boiler usage and chiller by utilizing waste air system
- Locally sourced materials + recycled materials + material science
- Not toxic paints
- LED lighting + use of natural light
- Collect rain water
- Use of wind energy/wave energy if located close to shore?
