Module 3 - Project Goals Targets & Strategies
List your three or four guiding design goals using this format for each goal:
Goal 1: Energy efficient
- Measure: offsets energy use
- Targets:
- produce enough energy to put back into the grid than is used throughout the year
- net zero +
- Strategies:
- the use of PVs
- the use of natural energy to heat and cool
Goal 2: Cost reduction
- Measure: cost of operation
- Targets:
- reduce operational costs by 50% of baseline
- reduce operation costs by 85% of baseline
- Strategies:
- use of high efficiency products
- use of reclaimed/recycled water
Goal 3: Natural renewables use
- Measure: the amount of reduction is the use of heat or air conditioning
- Targets:
- 50%
- 85%
- Strategies:
- utilizing a house design that allows for the sun to enter and heat the house in the winter but be blinded during the summer
- utilizing a house design that allows for a circulation of air during the summer to cool down the house
