Introduction The energy analysis undertaken for this study is focused on generally quantifying the impact of the opaque envelope on whole building energy use for different major building types (archetypes). The energy results shown below are for illustrative purposes to give an approximate idea of the scale of the energy impact resulting from the opaque building envelope. The results should not replace project specific energy models for design decision making, but may be used as guidance to inform early design.

Archetypes The archetypes are rectangular buildings with size, number of stories and aspect ratios approximated based on experience with similar projects. Although buildings come in many different sizes, shapes and orientations, any geometry selected would be arbitrary; thus standard rectangular shapes were chosen.

Each archetype also uses mechanical and lighting systems that reflect standard practice for a large portion of the BC market. Mechanical and electrical systems can vary significantly between similar projects, however, one representative system was chosen for illustrative purposes. Higher performing mechanical systems may show less impact from the building envelope, while higher performing lighting systems may show more impact due to reduction in heat gain. However, the general trend and slope of the curves shown below are expected to be consistent for most buildings, though the absolute values may vary significantly depending on design. The energy model input details for each archetype are summarized below, with each input followed by graphs of electricity and gas energy use over varying R-values.

Energy Graphs The graphs below represent both annual electricity and gas energy usage over a wide range of R-values for each archetype, at two different glazing ratios, and for 3 different BC climates. The graphs were developed to quantify the difference in electricity and gas energy related to differences in the opaque envelope related to the impact of thermal bridging through interface details. Specific scenarios and results are discussed in detail in Part 2.

Energy Use Intensity Some readers may be interested in the overall energy results of the archetype buildings. A summary of the energy use intensity, in ekWh/m2, is shown in the Table below. The table considers the results for all archetype buildings, but only at one window to wall ratio, one R-value (R15) and one climate (Vancouver, BC).

THERMAL MASS Most energy models deal with thermal mass through the use of conduction transfer functions. These functions are determined based on the materials of the assembly modeled, and tell the model how to distribute, over time, the heat losses and gains through the walls and roofs that are calculated at each time step. The calculation is independent of the U-value but impacts energy use through the distribution of heat losses and heat gains over time, dependent on the material properties modeled. Figures C0.1 and C0.2 respectively show the response factor and cumulative heat flow for low and high mass walls for a concrete high rise MURB with electric baseboard heating.

Figure C0.1: Response factor for mass walls

Figure C0.2: Cumulative heat flow for mass walls

Figures C0.3 through C0.8 below show the difference in energy use between high (concrete walls) and low (steel stud walls) thermal mass systems. At the lowest R-value, R2.5, there is as much as 3-5% heating energy savings for mass walls over steel stud walls for the high rise MURB archetype, depending on climate zone. However, over the range of R-values, the average difference in heating energy is 1% or less. The figures also show that a slightly lower R-value in mass walls, about R0.5 to R1.5 lower, yields the same energy use as lightweight walls. However, ASHRAE 90.1-2010 prescribes mass walls at R-values lower than steel stud walls by about R3, R1.5, and R10 for BC climate zones 5, 6, and 7, respectively. As such, the reduction in R-value for mass walls in ASHRAE 90.1 may not be fully warranted for BC climate zones. However, this point is somewhat moot since the change in absolute energy use at the higher prescribed code R-values is not significant.
