REDUCTION OF USPS DEPENDENCE ON OIL:Postal-Owned Vehicles Run on ElectricityFewer Vehicles Running Longer DistancesUse of Railway for Long Distances

A MODULAR POST OFFICE

The USPS is the largest civilian vehicular fleet in the world, with over 212,000 postal-owned vehicles. In light of them being behind on their goals to reduce petroleum fuel use, the United States Postal Service needs long-term solutions to their dependence on oil.

Freight rail is a very fuel efficient way of transporting goods in the United States and was used widely across the nation to transport mail from 1832 to 1977 until the popularity of the automobile. The USPS can benefit from revisiting Rail Mail and making use of an existing under utilized infrastructure.

Box Car Dimension - 50’ x 10’ x 13’

Modules - 5 (10’ x 10’ x 13’)

O�set for More Light and Space Variety

The module is based on the dimensions of a standard boxcar. The module is a 10’x10’x13’ steel frame with panels that fit onto the frame. Five of the modules can easily fit on a rail car. This modular Post Office is prefabricated off-site and easily transported to its site by rail. The module will also be sited within close proximity of the rail track to take advantage of rail delivery and pick up. The proposal offers the idea of connecting a larger network of rural post offices within a 10 mile radius of an existing railway. The modules can be positioned face to face or offset by half of a module to create more opportunities for light and varying spaces.

The design incorporates removable façade panels of varying transparency gradients. The spatial organization of the module is based on the linear organization of a historic sorting rail car. The main circulation is through the center of the module and the programmatic functions are positioned on the edges of the module. A space for the public is positioned on one end allowing for flexible service to the public: either inside or outside the building depending on weather conditions.

CIVIC CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF ARCHITECTURE

A B C D E F G H

The study of architecture is relatively restricted to those who pursue the profession and is often misrepresented and misunderstood by the public. “Good Design” is often thought of as inaccessible and not affordable. Design no longer has a strong connection to the people it is supposed to work for.

A civic center for architecture aims to bridge that gap between designers and the public. It is an opportunity to educate the public about design and the breadth of various disciplines involved in the study of architecture, but it is also an opportunity to reconnect designers back to the communities they are ultimately serving.

BAND OF SUN ANALYSIS

During the summer the south canopy blocks a lot of the sun

canopy on the roof terrace also provides a shaded area for visitors. Solar pv as sun shades can take advantage of thesummer sun.

During the winter the clerestories allow for deep penetration of sunlight into the rooms.The canopy on the roof terrace also still allows for sunlight to come through. The office walls are madeof concrete to take advantage of the winter sun.

Cross Ventilation:

Prevailing winds arecoming from thenorthwest direction.

Inlet windows willbe placed on westfacade. Outlets on southeast.

7mph is the wind speedthat should be used to accomodate for mostwinds coming from anydirection.

Portland, OR USAHDD of 4798Summer Design DB: 85 degrees F (Table B.5 p.1526)

MDR: 23 (Table B.5 p.1526)

With a 13.3 Btu/h sf cross-ventilation capacity, and a wind velocity of 7mph, I would need to design for an inlet area of 1% of floor area which is about 163.6 sf16363 sf x 0.01 = 163.6 sfOutlet area would also have to be 164 sf.

When the outside is 79 degrees F, the indoor temperature will be 82 degrees F.

If I use casement windows instead of double hung, that will give me a total window area of 164 sf/0.9 = 182.2 sf for both inlet and outlet windows

7mph is the wind speed that should be used to accomodate for most winds.Assuming wind coming at a diagonal to windows, in an urban setting, assume 0.3.

Design Changes:After analysing the results of implementing different passive strategies to my building, I chose the followingdesign changes that would suit my building in Portland best.

1. Shading south facing windows2. Adding south facing roof monitors3. Cooling with cross ventilation and night ventilation of mass4. Heating with direct gain systems and thermal mass

About the building: About the climate:The Civic Center for the Study of Architecture is designed for the daily passerby. Located next to a park, the �rst �oor is an extension of the public space and acts as a pavilion. It is essentially a museum for the public about the study of architecture. The building housesgalleries and offices and aims to use the building as an educational tool in itself.

Ground floor glazing opens up completely on nice days in Portland and creates high visibility to welcome visitors and passersby. It also serves for cross ventilation during business hours.

The structure is made of concrete and steel. Exposed concrete in the floor, ceiling, and shear walls serve as thermal mass for passive heating and cooling. All service spaces and critical vertical circulation are located on the north party wall.

Design Changes:After analysing the results of implementing different passive strategies to my building, I chose the followingdesign changes that would suit my building in Portland best.

1. Shading south facing windows2. Adding south facing roof monitors3. Cooling with cross ventilation and night ventilation of mass4. Heating with direct gain systems and thermal mass

About the building: About the climate:The Civic Center for the Study of Architecture is designed for the daily passerby. Located next to a park, the �rst �oor is an extension of the public space and acts as a pavilion. It is essentially a museum for the public about the study of architecture. The building housesgalleries and offices and aims to use the building as an educational tool in itself.

During the summer in Portland, prevailing winds are coming from the northwest direction. Inlet windows are placed on west facade. Outlets on southeast. 7mph is the wind speed that should be used to accommodate for most winds coming from any direction.

During the summer the south canopy blocks a lot of the sun coming into the ground floor and prevents overheating. The canopy on the roof terrace also provides a shaded area for visitors. Solar PV as sun shades can take advantage of the summer sun.

During the winter the clerestories allow for deep penetration of sunlight into the rooms. The canopy on the roof terrace also still allows for sunlight to come through. The office walls are made of concrete to take advantage of the winter sun.

The name of the city of Milwaukee comes from the Patowatomi word Minwaking meaning gathering place by the water. This site at the south peninsula has been left undeveloped for decades and is prime real estate to host events by the water, act as spill over space for Summerfest (the largest summer music festival in the world), and revitalize the neighborhood by activating the site all times of the year.

Milwaukeeans are active. This arena and recreation center holds a large sporting goods store with a climbing wall that spans two stories and a three-fl oor fi tness center. Accessible from the street, the recreation center is embedded into the arena, surrounding the visitors in the game experience once inside. The ground fl oor is dedicated to shops such as a kayak and canoe rental store, a Bucks team store, and a donor’s club space that could be rented out for private events.

The building itself acts as an entertainment screen for those who view it from the outside. The enclosure is made of a translucent shade screen that hides or reveals the inside of the building based on the light projected on, behind, or through it. At night, the spectators inside the building become the spectator sport for those outside the building.

WEGNER- TUB CHAIR

Inspired by the famous Danish furniture designers, I was given the opportunity to design a chair made of veneer that was honest to the material and expressed fine craftsmanship. Veneer is a malleable material that can make curvy, organic forms, but it also can make rigid, structural forms. My goal was to make a comfortable lounge chair that explores this dichotomy in these unique material properties.

In my design, the legs express the “rigid” and the seat expresses the “organic”. The legs are made of layers of ash and beech, the seat is made of layers of maple and ash. Dowels connect the seat to the legs, with the seat literally hanging in space between the frame of the legs. The effect: like fabric hanging between a frame.

= PASSIVE HOUSE = EARTH ADVANTAGE

The Stellar Apartments What is Passive House?Passive House is a certifi cation that boasts 70% better than code for overall energy performance. From the wall section on the left, the Passive House building has a much thicker wall that consists of more exterior insulation than the Earth Advantage building.

How did December compare to June?

Earth Advantage is a certifi cation that boasts 10% better than code in overall energy performance. From the wall section on the left, you can see that the Earth Advantage wall is similar to conventional light frame wood construction with insulation between studs.

How did December compare to June?

What is Earth Advantage?

The Stellar Apartments is a 54-building multi-family affordable housing development in west Eugene owned by St. Vincent De Paul Society of Lane County. Two buildings were built as a pilot to test Passive House against Earth Advantage. The two buildings are built side by side with the same amount of units and the same design in fl oor plans. The difference is in the construction of the building envelope. This difference in envelope creates an opportunity to analyze and compare the energy consumption between Passive House and Earth Advantage over the course of 2 years.

Methodology:Each unit in the PH and EA buildings has a monitoring system at the panel box by PowerWise Systems called Site Sage, measuring end-use energy: space heating, ERV (PH only), water heater, washer, dryer, refrigerator, range, interior temperature, relative humidity, and outdoor weather conditions. We verifi ed the SiteSage monitoring system data with handheld sensors for temperature, humidity, and VOCs. We also installed CO2 monitors to verify correlation of VOCs to ventilation effectiveness. Each month’s data are downloaded from SiteSage to an Excel fi le for the various analyses.

Initial Findings:Over the fi rst year, fi ndings show that occupants of the PH units are using approximately 59% less space heating energy than occupants in the EA units and in the transitional season (September/October) there was a lag time of about a week or so before the PH occupants turned on their space heating. The overall energy use “pie” averages are similar between PH and EA except for space heating and plug loads, however occupant behavior indicates strong potential for savings. Early measurements of carbon dioxide levels in both buildings show good ventilation effectiveness.

Initial Findings:Over the fi rst year, fi ndings show that occupants of the PH units are using approximately 59% less space heating energy than occupants in the EA units and in the transitional season (September/October) there was a lag time of about a week or so before the PH occupants turned on their space heating. The overall energy use “pie” averages are similar between PH and EA except for space heating and plug loads, however occupant behavior indicates strong potential for savings. Early measurements of carbon dioxide levels in both buildings show good ventilation effectiveness.

= PASSIVE HOUSE = EARTH ADVANTAGE

The Stellar Apartments What is Passive House?Passive House is a certifi cation that boasts 70% better than code for overall energy performance. From the wall section on the left, the Passive House building has a much thicker wall that consists of more exterior insulation than the Earth Advantage building.

How did December compare to June?

Earth Advantage is a certifi cation that boasts 10% better than code in overall energy performance. From the wall section on the left, you can see that the Earth Advantage wall is similar to conventional light frame wood construction with insulation between studs.

How did December compare to June?

What is Earth Advantage?

The Stellar Apartments is a 54-building multi-family affordable housing development in west Eugene owned by St. Vincent De Paul Society of Lane County. Two buildings were built as a pilot to test Passive House against Earth Advantage. The two buildings are built side by side with the same amount of units and the same design in fl oor plans. The difference is in the construction of the building envelope. This difference in envelope creates an opportunity to analyze and compare the energy consumption between Passive House and Earth Advantage over the course of 2 years.

Methodology:Each unit in the PH and EA buildings has a monitoring system at the panel box by PowerWise Systems called Site Sage, measuring end-use energy: space heating, ERV (PH only), water heater, washer, dryer, refrigerator, range, interior temperature, relative humidity, and outdoor weather conditions. We verifi ed the SiteSage monitoring system data with handheld sensors for temperature, humidity, and VOCs. We also installed CO2 monitors to verify correlation of VOCs to ventilation effectiveness. Each month’s data are downloaded from SiteSage to an Excel fi le for the various analyses.
