“Energy consumption equals energy production”


Current ZEH Homes

High End Homes– Motivated Buyers– $500,000 - $800,000

Subsidized Homes– Less than 1500 SF– Habitat for Humanity– Cost reduction thru grants, donations, subsidies

Middle Income Home– Our focus

Near Zero Energy Housing at Ft. CampbellEnergy Modeling Results

The views, opinions, and/or findings contained in this briefing are those of the author(s) and should not be construed as an official Department of the Army position, policy, or decision unless so designated by other official documentation.


Energy ModelingPurpose– Assess the expected energy use of various building

features and systems Task Application– Optimize ZEH design and size photovoltaics

Software– eQUEST (DOE-2)

Application Focus– Energy savings rather than detailed design– Comparative results for technologies


ZEH Design Approach

Team members– Ft Campbell Housing– Actus Lend Lease– NDCEE– URS

Technical Approach– Project scoping– Identification of Best Available Technologies (BATs)– Data collection– Develop modeling approach/run initial simulations– Evaluate approach/software capabilities/simulation results– Refine models and determine ZEH technology portfolio


eQUESTComprehensive energy simulation toolPublicly availableFunded by California utility customers Administered by California Public Utilities CommissionSimulation “engine” based on DOE-2 computer programsModeler inputs building, system (HVAC, WH) and weather informationPredicts hourly energy use and costBuilding creation wizardsGraphical reporting

Model Issues/Deficiencies

Software developed for commercial buildingsAccuracy associated with specific components and systems uncertainLittle detailed data available for verifying baseline modeling resultsEnergy requirements also dependents on behavior of the occupantsModeling all possible design options time consuming


Potential Next StepsIntegrated design process for developing synergies between architecture and mechanical/electrical systemsNatural day-lighting optionsDual loop ground source heat pumpModel south facing windows with overhangs to take advantage of solar gain in winter, and shading summer sunEconomic feasibility analysisCode review to determine minimum requirements for building envelope and mechanical/electrical systems
