“…Hence, since 2005, some percentages of the subjective competition scores were allocated to the projected energy performance of the house, thus requiring all participating teams to demonstrate how the house would perform as a gridconnected house in a chosen location. This requirement was further stressed in 2007, requiring teams to compute levelized cost of energy projected over 30 years using the Building America Benchmark procedures (Hendron 2006) both for the schematic and final design of the house.…”

“…Therefore, reasonable estimates were assumed based on typical power consumption profiles of high performance systems and appliances. A typical average and peak daily electric demand profile was thus generated and translated into a preliminary total daily energy demand of the house at 18.66kW·h, based on information found in (Hendron 2006). Assuming three days autonomy, this resulted in estimating the PV array requirement to be approximately 6 − 8kW for an off-grid battery operated system (this range also accounts for optimum tilt versus no tilt of the PV panels).…”

“…This can be especially problematic for noise levels inside the house due to rain (Robinson 2005). (Hendron 2006) The pillows are fed via a two pumps that dehumidify the air inside the pillow and keep the pillow pressurized.…”

The subject of this paper is the design analysis process of an experimental solar house, driven by the overarching goal to obtain net-zero energy performance while being functionally optimal and architecturally ambitious. The house was commissioned to participate in an international solar home competition called the Solar Decathlon. The paper demonstrates the use of simulation to support design decisions at various stages of the design process. Through it, the paper highlights attributes of simulation tools that are needed for supporting the design process effectively. In addition, this paper shows a novel use of building simulation by extending it to also inform the final use and operation of the house during the competition period. Finally, the paper also contributes to the design of solar homes by showing how their performance assessment and evaluation criteria can be different from homes that are served by the grid.

“…Desta forma, utilizar os coeficientes proposto pelos autores ajuda na economia de tempo no caso de haver um grande número de equipamentos modulares, ou mesmo quando nãoé possível identificar os coeficientes destes equipamentos. Os coeficientes Cutler et al (2013) para equipamentos de ar condicionado e bombas de calor modulares são apresentados no Apêndice F. Hendron (2006) traz a uma relação matemática expressa na equação 6-3 para determinar a eficiência de refrigeração de ar condicionados e bombas de calor (EFF) quando nãoé possível medi-lo experimentalmente.…”
