BUILDING SYSTEMS
NZE STRATEGY: RENEWABLE SYSTEMS
- ANNUAL ENERGY GENERATED = ENERGY DEMAND
- SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER GENERATION (APPROX. 200 KW ARRAY)
NZE STRATEGY: ACTIVE SYSTEMS
- RADIANT HEATING AND COOLING EMBEDDED IN THE SLAB
- AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS (NO COMBUSTION) TO HEAT HOT WATER FOR BOTH
DOMESTIC WATER AND RADIANT SLAB USE
- OPTIMIZED CONTROLS
- CONVENTIONAL VAV SYSTEM FOR PEAK CONDITIONS
NZE STRATEGY: PASSIVE SYSTEMS
- HIGH PERFORMANCE GLAZING TO MINIMIZE SOLAR GAIN
- WEATHER STATION FOR OPTIMIZED CONTROLS WITH AUTOMATED NATURAL
VENTILATION
- DAY LIGHTING CONTROLS
- EXPANDED COMFORT CRITERIA (70 TO 78°F)
- LOCALIZED CONTROL WITH DESK FANS AND OPERABLE WINDOWS
SLIDE 13
BUILDING SYSTEMS
NZW STRATEGY: RAIN TO POTABLE
- RAINWATER TO BE COLLECTED FROM NSF CERTIFIED ROOF AND PV CANOPY
- STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD – DIVISION OF DRINKING WATER (DDW) TO PERMIT
- FOOD GRADE ROOFING AND COMPONENTS WILL BE USED THROUGHOUT
- TESTING TO BE CONDUCTED BY DDW STANDARDS
GREY WATER RECYCLING
- GREY WATER FROM SHOWERS AND LAVATORIES TO BE CAPTURED AND TREATED TO NSF 350
STANDARDS
- WORKED WITH LA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO PERMIT
- IRRIGATION DEMAND TO BE MET FROM RECYCLED GREY WATER
NZW STRATEGY: DROUGHT CONDITIONS
- IN TIMES OF DROUGHT, THE SYSTEM WILL BE TOPPED UP WITH WELL WATER
