Sustainable Technologies

Solar Panels Geothermal Heating/Cooling Rain Water Collection Green Roof

Solar Panels Utilize a large grid-tied system

• Allow energy to be sold into the grid at low consumption times

• Avoid large battery bank; making the system easier to maintain and more eco-friendly

Wirelessly monitor through a PC/Website

36 kW tower system consisting of 6 inverters and 180 panels

Geothermal Heating/Cooling

Vertical closed-loop system was developed by the mechanical group.

Reduce the Heating/Coolingcosts and earn LEED credits

Rainwater Collection Rainwater to be collected only from the

main roof 20,000 Gal. tank proposed Irrigation to be north and west of building

(Hatched area on following slide) No potable water will be needed for

irrigation

Green Roof Located on top of auditorium. Entrance

on 3rd floor of main building Green roof will feature extensive

vegetation Extensive vegetation is lighter and

requires less soil, therebyreducing the load (saturated load approximately 34 psf)

Will feature walkways and tablesfor occupants to enjoy

Research Labs Civil Experiments

• Pervious Pavements• Green Roofs

Mechanical Experiments• Electric Motors• Hydrogen Fuel Powered Engines • Green Heating and Cooling Systems

Electrical Experiments• Smart Grid• Wind Turbines• Solar Panels

• Storm Water Collection• LEED Design Techniques

Interior Concept

Exterior Plan

Utilize Kalwall TranslucentDaylighting Systems Minimize need for

artificial lightPanels provide low

solar heat gain and high insulation values

Made from 20% recycled content

Exterior Plan – Glass Strategically use windows to keep occupants in

touch with outside world while providing natural light

Structural Design Structural Steel Frame Procedures followed:

• Load and Resistance Factored Design (LRFD)• American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Version 7• American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)

Complete SAP 2000 v12 Analysis Hand Calculations for Typical Members/Sections

• Floor Beams• Interior/Exterior Girders• Columns• Auditorium Roof

• Main Roof• Wind Bracing• Foundation

Loads 1st Floor

• Dead = 200 psf

2nd & 3rd Floors:• Dead = 100 psf

Auditorium Green Roof• Dead = 40 psf• Snow = 20 psf

Main Roof• Dead = 40 psf• Snow = 20 psf

• Live = 80 psf

• Live = 80 psf

• Live = 80 psf

• Roof Live = 20 psf

SAP 2000

Floor Beams Located on the 2nd and 3rd floors Designed to support metal decking with

concrete cover Uniform distributed load on entire beam

• Max load case: 1.2D + 1.6L

The beam was designed for the maximum bending moment

Allowable deflection controlled beam selection

Interior / Exterior Girders

Designed using end reactions from connecting floor beams

Point loads at girder/floor beam connections • Max load case: 1.2D + 1.6L + .5S

2 Typical interior and 2 exterior were designed

Allowable deflection controlled girder selection

Columns Designed using axial loading from SAP

2000 analysis – Max load: 1.2D + 1.6L + .5S 3 Typical columns (Locations on next slide)

• Main exterior (Red)• Main interior (Blue)• Auditorium (Yellow)

Maximum axial load controlled column selection

N

Auditorium Green Roof Designed to support saturated green roof Distributed load on entire joist

• Max load case: 1.2D + 1.6L + .5S• Max span: 85 feet

Long span LH series roof joist Allowable distributed load controlled selection

Main Roof System Designed using supported tributary area Distributed load on entire joist

• Max load case: 1.2D + 1.6L + .5S• Max span joist: 70’• Max span joist girder: 34’

2 typical joists and 1 joist girder designed Built-up-roof components (per UT guidelines)

• Metal decking• SEBS base sheet• Type 6 glass felts

Main Wind Force Resisting System

Based on ASCE 7 provisions Wind Load Factor = 1.6

(LRFD Combinations)

3 wind braces to resist East-West winds 2 wind braces to resist North-South winds 3 designs to accommodate structural

differences in the building

Wind Brace Locations

N

Typical Wind Brace

Foundation Selection Loadings obtained from SAP Analysis of the

building Pad footings with integrated auger cast piles

were selected Pad footings and piles required less concrete

than strip or mat foundations The piles transmit some load to more stable

clays below grade Four typical pad footings were designed to

increase efficiency

Footing Design Soil info was obtained from boring logs of

Scott Park Estimated bearing capacity of 4 kips/sq ft for

the soil Foundation size and number of piles

determined by loading and bearing capacity Designed for one and two way shear to obtain

sufficient depth for the reinforcing steel of the foundation

Take Home Message Place UT at the forefront of researching

sustainable technologies Create a learning environment for both

students and the public

Provide a recognizable

high performance building

to showcase UT’s sustainable efforts
