Abstract

Wonderland Development has constructed a new "near zero energy" row home design in North Boulder consisting of 9 units: one 5-plex and two duplexes. NREL has performed short-term tests and installed long-term monitoring equipment in three of these units. Two of these units used a solar thermal combi system with a boiler for radiant space heating and water heating and mini-split system for space conditioning. The third unit used a high efficiency tank water heater for space heating. In addition to studying the overall performance of the homes, one unit was used for a detailed study on hot water draws at each fixture. Several reports and presentations were produced on this project, however, due to shifting funding and staffing priorities, a comprehensive final report for this project was never completed. This dataset contains a wealth of raw and analyzed data and several unpublished reports.

AmeriFlux US-UR1 Boulder - UCRB

Dataset Neale, C. U. ; Masih, A. ; de C. Bispo, R. ; ...

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-UR1 Boulder - UCRB. Site Description - This site is located in Boulder, Wyoming, in a high-altitude grassland ecosystem. The region experiences cold winters and mild summers, with relatively low precipitation throughout the year. Snowfall is common during the winter months, contributing to the seasonal water availability. The landscape is primarily covered by grass vegetation, with some areas supported by a center pivot irrigation system, which helps sustain plant growth in the dry environment.

National Renewable Energy Laboratory/Habitat for Humanity Zero Energy Home: A Cold Climate Case Study for Affordable Zero Energy Homes

Dataset Norton, Paul ; Christensen, C ; Hancock, Ed ; ...

The design of this 1,280-square-foot, three-bedroom Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver zero energy home carefully combines envelope efficiency, efficient equipment, appliances and lighting, and passive and active solar features to reach the zero energy goal. The home was designed with an early version (July 22, 2004) of the BEOpt building optimization software; DOE2 and TRNSYS were used to perform additional analysis. This engineering approach was tempered by regular discussions with Habitat construction staff and volunteers. These discussions weighed the applicability of the optimized solutions to the special needs and economics of a Habitat house, moving the design toward simple,more »« less
Modular Zero Energy Ready Homes: Bright Built - Maine

Dataset Aldrich, Robb ; Butterfield, Karla

Kaplan Thompson Architects (KTA) has specialized in sustainable, energy-efficient buildings, and they have designed several custom, zero-energy homes in New England. These zero-energy projects have generally been high-end, custom homes with budgets that could accommodate advanced energy systems. In an attempt to make zero energy homes more affordable and accessible to a larger demographic, KTA explored modular construction as way to provide high-quality homes at lower costs. In mid-2013, KTA formalized this concept when they launched BrightBuilt Home (BBH). The BBH mission is to offer "a line of architect-designed, high-performance homes that are priced to offer substantial savings off themore »« less
