Sustainable Design for the Jack Millikin Cultural Centre
ME 495 Group 18
Members:Mathew ParedesDarcy KimJason Khor
Faculty Advisor: Mr. Ken Coutu
Background
• Ness Creek is a festival site
• Used for music and art festivals
• Need for a four-season facility
• The JMC is to be LEED certified
• Reduce carbon footprint
• Simplicity: to facilitate phased-project approach
Building Orientation
Project Objectives
1. Building orientation
2. Building envelope
3. Heating methods
4. Cooling methods
5. Crawl space design
6. Heating of adjacent bathroom building
An Overview of the Building Envelope
Timber Frame
Straw-bale
Stucco
Spruce Paneling
Wood Framing
Rigid Insulation
Plywood
Asphalt Shingles
Winter 12:00 pm
Summer 12:00pm
Calculations
1. Google Earth and Google Sketch-up
2. EE4 will be used to simulate the energy consumption
and annual cost reductions, compared to a typical
building of similar size
3. Hand calculations will be used to verify EE4 results
• Resistances of the walls and roof
• Pump and fan sizing
• Heating and cooling load
Assumptions
1. The indoor floor space is 3500ft2
2. The capacity of the building is 150 persons
3. Design indoor temperature will be at extremes of
psychometric chart
4. R-values
5. The building may be left unattended in the winter
EE4 Assumptions
1. Space function will be used to model the building
2. Building is modeled into 3 major zones
3. Roof is modeled at 45o for simplification
4. System efficiencies assumed at a minimum of 75%
5. Heating system modeled as a 2 pipe fan coil
6. Natural gas will be used as a substitute for wood
7. R values are doubled and thicknesses are halved
Conclusion
Current EE4 model yields:
1. 30% reduction in electrical consumption
2. Approximately 60% reduction in natural gas
consumption
3. Total of approximately 30% in energy cost savings
