BCN 1582 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Solar Irradiance, Carbon Neutrality
Document Summary
Umm, anyway, we want a low u factor. Group project idea: people go camping and have batteries that go dead. They just throw them away on the ground or at sea wherever they are. Then over time, people follow their ordeal and soon there is a huge pile of batteries all wasted and polluting! Then an animal who is wise talks to us (possibly mutated to talk) and tells us how bad this is and what it does. Net zero energy, is equality of energy consumption and energy production. Ashrae, simple def, i am standing here, and one sq ft in front of me, how much of that space is consuming energy for the whole year. Keep an eye out for questions starting from this slide: passive strategies: internal heat gain (occupants, heat generation- lighting and equipment, etc) Lecture time for campus sustainability and case studies.
