Daylight Analysis of School Retrofit

Analysis of the existing classrooms was perform

ed using

predictive software,

specifically DesignBuilder, and

average daylight factors were obtained. False colour

distribution images were also produced. The average

daylight factor result, 1.919%, needed to be greatly

improved in the proposed scheme and from the

distribution image the m

ajority of daylight falling on the

working plane was located beside the main windows.

Also it was clear after investigations that the clear storey

windows added little to the daylighting to the space.

Different options were form

ulated and then m

odelled and

simulated in the predictive software. The description of

these options and their associated results are;

• 2.635% - O

ption 1: increasing the size of the

main windows with the addition of a light shelf.

• 2.145% - Option 2: Addition of a glazed wall to

the rear wall and fully glazed corridor to allow

borrowed light to penetrate.

• 4.56% - Option 3: the addition of a large

rooflight (approx 10m

2) to the rear of the room.

In all af the above options the clear storey windows were

omitted. The distribution diagrams are shown to the right

and it is evident that all of these proposed interventions

increased the daylight provision to the space. However

there are other factors to consider in tandem with

daylighting. For example, in option 3 the size of the

rooflights require a large structural intervention and there

would considerable heat loss contribution through the

glazing and frames. An optimum solution was form

ulated

and is described to the right.

Strategy for Classroom

S C A L E: 1:100

Elements of options 1 and 3 were adapted into a

daylighting strategy for the classroom spaces. Option 2

was disregarded due to the structural and operational

problems that may have resulted.

For the classrooms with three existing south-east facing

windows, a single large opening was form

ed across the

full width of the three w

indows. In the classrooms w

ith

four existing windows the same width of opening was

used w

ith infill walls closing the remaining opening. An

internal

and external

light

shelf was introduced

approximately 2.45m above floor level. In order to avoid

structural issues two small rooflights (combined area:

3m

2) were added in place of the large 6.5m x 1.5m single

rooflight.

The diamatic section of a typical classroom shows the

theory of this daylighting strategy and the false colour

distribution map shows the simulated results for the

modelled classroom. From this simulation it can be seen

that the majority of the classroom achieves above 2%

point daylighting levels. An average daylight factor of

3.165% is achieved m

aking the classrooms a well daylit

space.

PHPP inputs for daylighting differ from this method of

daylight assessment which relies on the simple geometry

of the space and windows to be entered. The PHPP

results are shown in that section above.

Surpassing EnerPHit and PassivHaus requirements in

order

to achieve certification requires a significant

contribution to space heating from solar gain whilst

providing m

eans to elim

inate overheating to a proposed

scheme. In this section diagrams have been prepared to

demonstrate the strategies employed to meet

the

requirements and provide a comfortable environment for

the building occupants.

The solar gain / shading strategy illustrated in the

diagrams to the right allows the range of the midday

solar azimuth across the year. As the diagrams show the

external light shelf and window reveal provide a large

amount of shading during m

idsummer whilst still allowing

solar

gain during the winter

months when it is

advantagous. due to the low sun angle in w

inter blinds

may be utilised on the lower portion of the window.

However

internal

shading devices,

while stopping

discomfort glare will not negate the solar gain to the

space. With the high level internal light shelf in place the

sunlight can strike the upper surface and provide gains

(and daylighting) wile providing some shading to the

classrooms.

The geometry, orientation and any additional external

obstructions of all the proposed windows in the building

are input into the PHPP file and the solar gain and

shading values for the proposed building are calculated.

The values achieved for the proposal are shown to the

right of the diagrams.

The solar gain and shading strategy for the classrooms

were

particularly

important

as

they

made

up

approximately 56% of the floor area of the building and

have south-east facing glazing. Also rooms other than

classrooms in the building generally have a lower

occupancy level.

During the PHPP evaluation of the progressive design

process a significant overheating issue was identifited

with its frequency at 15.7% when the therm

al envelope

was upgraded to passiv standards. This required a

mitigation strategy in order to meet EnerPHit standards.

The ventilation strategy illustrated in the diagram to the

right is the method chosen to overcome any issue of

overheating in the building. The classrooms have the

highest occupancy and the greatest southerly glazing

areas so it was paramount to solve the problem in these

spaces.

This was done by the introduction of

automatically opening windows and rooflights to create

a crossflow / stack ventilation effect that would provide

both daytime and night purge ventilation. As these

windows would open only a short distance (<100mm)

they can be fitted w

ith security screens to the opening

areas. Rain sensors can also be incorporated into the

rooflights. In addition to natural ventilation the M

VHR can

be set to summer bypass mode providing additional

ventilation airchanges. All other habitable rooms are

provided with manually openable windows and the

MVHR summer ventilation also.

The calculations for this strategy are carried out on the

Summvent tab in PHPP. An extract from this calculation

sheet is included to the right. This shows the definitions

for the opening windows for both daytime and night

purge ventilation.

To achieve EnerPHit certification either the annual space

heating demand must be less than 25kWh/m

2/y or the

heating load must be less than 10W/m

2. The primary

energy usage, under which DHW is counted, must be

below 132kWh/m

2/y also.

The PHPP software calculates the total fabric and

ventilation heat loss, the internal and solar gains, etc.

from the user inputs and a figure for the space heating

demand is arrived at. The DHW requirement is also

calculated from predicted demand. The efficiency factors

(boiler efficiency, pipework runs, HW storage losses,

etc.) are then appliedto this to get the final annual

heating demand figure. The relevant specification for the

efficiency factors are as follows:

• Boiler Type: Remeha Avanta 18s System

boiler with 18kW output and 92.5% seasonal

efficiency.

• Heating system: Hot water

low pressure

radiators form

the Quinn Sleive range with room

therm

ostats and TRVs. 170m total flow, return

and branch pipework distribution length

• DHW System: Hot water insulated cylinder

with pumped recirculation pipe system with

branch feeder pipes to tap openings. 115m total

circulation pipework length and 19m total branch

pipework length.

• All pipework encased in 40mm of Kingspan

A schematic of the proposed D

heating systems and the nominal location of ratiators are

can

contribute graetly to achieving the annual space heating

demand (<25kWh/m

2)

requirements defined in PHPP. However the operation of

the M

VHR unit will contribute to the primary energy load

(<132kWh/m

2/y). Thus an efficient system will be needed

to satisfy these requirements.

The design air flow rate is determ

ined through a

calculation involving the number

of occupants and

wetrooms in the building. For the proposed school this

was 1500m

3/h.

The noise level of the system in

operation is also a consideration for a building such as

this.

The M

VHR system chosen to be utilised in the retrofit

project was the Vent Axia S

entinal Kinetic P

lus system

and such was the air flow rate required 4 of these units

were required. The relevant specification for the M

VHR

units are as follows:

• Heat recovery efficiency: 92% (77% entered in

PHPP as it is an uncertified system)

• Electrical Efficiency: 0.38 W

(zone 2)

have seperate

This EnerPHit retrofit used many methods to achieve and surpass the minimum required values. Among the

main strategies were a major upgrade of the thermal envelope, optimised fenestration (for solar gain, shading

and daylighting), upgrading of existing mechanical and electrical systems, night purge and daytime cooling and

the introduction of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. These items are described and specified in detail

in the other sections of this presentation. In this section the process involved in reaching EnerPHit standards

and the data obtained from the PHPP software that demonstrates the energy performance of the building will

be described.

Early design decisions were taken based on analysis of the existing building and assessing some of the

proposed strategies in both the PHPP software and with some predictive analysis (daylighting). When an

aesthetically pleasing and technically accurate design was completed the data was input into the PHPP

software incrementally (and in a series that they may be considered) and each step / improvement was

recorded. This gave a chart leading to Enerphit achievement. An abreviated version of this table is shown

IAB / BBA certificates for the insulation and systems used in the proposed retrofit will be included with the

submission of this project and are also available from the manufacturers websites.

The specific annual heating demand for achieving EnerPhit and Passiv Haus certification is determined within

the PHPP software using the monthly method. This section of PHPP uses climate data and occupancy

patterns, along with internal and external gains, to determine the space heating loads. The monthly method

can also be a good indicator of overheating as it can be evident on the graph when the gains exceed the heat

loss. The diagrams below taken from PHPP show the monthly heating demand for both the existing building

and proposed retrofit.

The differering scales of these graphs can be deceptive as the monthly heating demands for the existing

building range from 20kWh/m

2/month to 70kWh/m

2/month while the proposed building ranges from

6kWh/m

2/month to only 8.5kWh/m

2/month. The graph in the centre represents the proposed retrofit at the

same scale as the existing. Three key points can be gleemed from these graphs;

1) space heating is required every month in the existing and there are 5 months in the proposed

that require little or no heating.

2) Solar and internal gains make up most of the space heating demand in the proposed retrofit.

3) Gains surpass losses for five months in the proposed scheme. This requires overheating

mitigation measures to be applied as described in the relevant section below.

The heating balance charts can be a very usefull too in

analysing the internal gains, external gains, fabric losses,

ventilation losses, space heating supply, etc. The graph

provides a comparison of all the values in a single place. The

inspection of this graph lead to the process described above

in developing the retrofit strategy.

On an annual average for the retrofit scheme, internal and

solar gains can be seen to contribute more to the heating

load than the annual space heating contribution. Ventilation

is the main source of heat loss from the building, both in the

form of losses from the MVHR efficiency and from the need

to cool the building from unwanted solar gains during the

summer. It can also be observed that there is equivilent heat

loss through the windows as there is through the walls and

roof combined.

For the existing building, a very different profile is evident.

Large amounts of heat loss is evident through the walls and

ceilings / roofs. This is why a large proportion of the retrofit

strategy aimed at remediating this heat loss. The ventilation

heat losses also required carefull attention and led to the

selection of an efficient heatrecovery ventilation system. It

can be seen that the internal gains ar the same as in the

proposed retrofit at 14.7kWh/m

2/annum and the solar gains

are within 2.4kWh/m

2/annum but they barely make a dent in

the overall space heating demand.

The differering scales of these graphs can also be deceptive

as they remain the same size despite the existing graph

stretching to over 450kWh/m

2/annum while the proposed

graph barely reaches 60kWh/m

2/annum. The graph below

represents the proposed retrofit at the same scale as the

existing.
