I <= INTRODUCTION

The passive solar gains in bUildings are difficult to calculate~

Available models predict very different numbers for slightly differentclimatic conditions0

For policy making purposes and to encourage investment in solar(passive and hybrid) design, it is necessary to have a reliable method and atransparent procedure to determine solar contributions to the total heatingload&

In order to achieve this goal, a methodology 1,2,3 has been developedGUsing this methodology one can calculate the passive gains and evaluate thethermal performance of the various subsystems~

This methodology 4 has been tested on the Elementary School ofMontorfano (Como, Italy)~ The results show that the methodology is simple,reliable and that it is possible to arrive at a definite conclusion aboutlong term performance using short term data@

If performed in real time, a closed loop network model can be usedto drive various systems for controlling the energy performance~

II -- AND

The ada Elementary School ;s located 20 kme north of the city ofSondrio in Regione Lombardia (see Fige 1)@ It is at the end of ValMalenco (a side valley of Valtellina), below the Bernina Range -- in theAlps~ Winter and spring seasons are sunny and cool@ Summers are moderatelywarm@

The school is a masonry building made with massive stones, internallyvered with bricks (average thickness 70 cm~)0 The school has a compact

shape with all the classrooms facing south0 It is a three story buildingwith a small gymnasium at the lower levele

Figure 2 shows the floor plan and a section of the building. In orderto decrease energy consumption, the following major retrofit measures wereinstall ed in 1983:

o Increased envelope insulation on North side

o Double glazed all windows on North side

o Insulated the ceiling

o Instal led solar air heaters on South facade connected witha venti 1ation system

Table I lists the physical parameters of the school~

III - METHODOLOGY AND DATA COLLECTION

A methodology is developed to determine the passive gains and toevaluate the solar air heater thermal performance~ All the energy sources,like auxiliary heater, solar air heaters and internal gains are monitoredClUsing this monitored data, energy balance for the whole building isperformed@ The fol lowing equation is used to determine passive solar gains:

Qpassive =Qloss - Qauxiliary - Qinternal - Qcollector

Qloss is made up of three parts:

Qloss = Qconduction + Qinfiltration + Qventilation

(1)

(2)

The infiltration rates were measured with tracer gas technique$ Thedetail of this technique is presented at the end of this section@ Theventilation rate is calculated by subtracting injected air from aspiratedair. The data on aspirated ~ir are obtained from the ventilation unitplaced at jower level; 3025 m Ih of air is aspirated through the stairwelland 1200 m /h is reinjected through the ventilation openings@

Due to the heating system desiqn it is difficult to determine theconduction heat loss coefficient (UA) with the coheating methode Thereforean indirect method has been used~ During a long cloudy period the indoor­outdoor temperature difference was held constant~ The auxiliary deliveredat night (10 hours) and temperature differences during this period weremonitored0

The measured infiltration heat losses are subtracted to obtain theconduction losses& The conduction losses are then divided by inside-outsidetemperature differences to obtain the overall conduction loss coefficient(UA)~ The average value for 5 nights is assumed as the true UA value. Itwas found that the UA value is 34% lower than the calculated value (Italian

Standard UNI-CTI). Table II shows calculated and measured UA valuestbAuxiliary is calculated from the measured outlet and inlet watertemperatures and water flow rates. Solar col lector contributions aresimilarly obtained from air temperatures and air flow rate.

For internal gain calculations, 75 Wper student during the lessonhours is assumed~ The heat gains from lighting are also added to internalgains. Steady state conditions are assumed throughout the calculations.The tgerma 1 time constant of the wa 11 sis of the order of a few days (130hours ), and initial and final conditions should be considered in order todeal with short periods of time. For periods greater than 10 days thethermal mass effects are small. For seasonal performance evaluations theerrors due to thermal mass effects should be negligible.

The data collection was limited to a level adequate for assessingperformance evaluations of subsystems. A complete list of measuredquantities is given in Table III~ All probes were calibrated in thelaboratory before field"installation. The Solartron Schlumberger ORION isused for data logging. It allows some conversion on probes, counters unitand measures of eventsCl It is a high accuracy system and has manypossibi 1ities for programming and interfacing with oth,er systems~ The datawere recorded on a cassette tape and later transferred on to the VAX 11/750system via modems and telephone line.

During back-up operations, logger operations were interrupted. Therewere a lot of disadvantages by working in this mode. However, there were noother options available.

Tracer Gas Measurements

The tracer gas measurements were done at 4 places: classroom andcorr; dor at fi rst floor, classroom at second floor and gymnas i um at lowerleve13 The tracer gas (SF 6) was injected in the rooms, corridor andgymnasium~ After waiting for half an hour, four to five air samples fromeach of the spaces were taken at 15 minute intervals~

The concentr i on of SF 6 was measured us i ng gas chromatography\$ Fromthe 6 concentration decay rates, the air exchange rates were obtained~

IV DATA ANALYSIS

The main objective of the data analysis ;s to calculate the total heatlosses, auxiliary energy used, internal gains and solar energycontributions$ The solar energy contributions consist of two parts: theenergy provided by the solar air heater and passive solar gainse A shortdescription of the procedure used to calculate these quantities is describedbelowe

Total Heat Loss

The heat loss from the building occurs through conduction, infiltrationand ventilationo All these loss calculations assume steady conditions. Asmentioned earlier, this assumption is valid for periods longer than the timeconstant of the building&

The conduction heat losses were calculated using the value of conductionloss coefficient (UA) as determined above and the measured indoor-outdoortemperature differenceso

* T * t (3)

The infiltration heat losses were calculated using the infiltration ratedetermined from tracer gas measurements and indoor-outdoor temperaturedifference@

The ventilation losses are calculated using the ventilation rate as'e determined above (difference between aspirated rate and injected rate) and

indoor-outdoor telnperature differences. An equation very simi 1ar to Eq. (3)is used to calculate ventilation rate for the fan on periods.

Internal Gains

The information on the number of occupants, time of occupancy and thelighting level was used to calculate internal gains@

Boiler Efficiency

Solar Contributions

The measured values of the air flow rate through the col lector, theinlet-outlet air temperature difference and the time for which the fan ison, are used to calculate solar contributions provided by the solar aircollectors~ An equation similar to Eq~ (4);s used for this calculationeFinally the passive solar contributions are calculated subtractively usingEquation- (l)@ However, any errors made in the calculation of Qloss and Qauxare lumped into the passive contributions$

~ V - AND DISCUSSION

Two 12 day periods were analyzed~ These two periods are representativetypical spring and fall cl;mate~

During the twel ve day period in Fall (November) six days were sunnyand six days were overcast. In March, eight days were sunny and four dayswere overcast. The average ambient temperature is nearly the same duringthese per i 0 ds • The ins 0 1at; 0 n val ueson collec tor p 1 ane, i nd0 0 rtemperatures and outdoor temperatures are plotted in Figures 3 and 4 for athree day period (November 7-8-9 1~85). This is a relatively clear periodwith insolation peaking at 850 W/m 0

The bar chart in Figure 5 shows the hourly auxiliary delivered to thebuilding and the solar energy incident on the collector plane for the samethree day period@

There were considerable temperature variations in different parts of thebuilding primarily due to the stack effect: classrooms at lower floors havelower temperatures~ The increased ceiling insulation decreased the heatloss at the second floofe This means the radiator system needs to berecalibrated~ The corridors have generally lower temperatures than adjacentclassrooms due to the fact that corridors do not have direct gain (corridorsface north) and have higher infiltration rates0

In Figure 6 the average temperatures in different parts of the buildingare graphed for a twelve day period in November 19850 The heat balancecalculations are performed for the whole building~ The results for the 12day periods in March and November 1985 are presented in Table V and TableVI respecti y

ibuted to the fol lowing factors:

o collector trimmings

o Cracked Ducts are made polistyrene and thecracks are due either to vibrations from fan-engine andaccidental breaking of

There is a definite need to improve the collector performance*

o The ventilation unit should be moved to the attic andthe externalair intake should be closed0 Theairwouldbe aspiratedfromthe collectors and the fresh air wouldthen be taken from col lector leakse

o Thedistribution ducts should be redesigned and protectedfrom accidental damages@

o A better cal ibration of the air distribution system isalso needed@

The total solar contribution (30% in November and 39% in March) isquite good and with the modifications suggested~ should easily reach 35-45%of the total load. The collector contribution will increase ~f the existentventilation unit is moved to the attic@ It has been shown that for lowpressure solar air heaters, the leaks do increase the efficiency althoughoutlet air temperature decreases slightlY$

Average boiler efficiency for the 12 day period in November is 68%0 Itlooks good, considering that no retrofit measures been performed onauxiliary heating system0 In Table VII the daily iciency for November1985 is presented0

The operationa 1 logic seems qui adequate~ e huge mass of thebuilding is used as thermal storage for the heat coming from the collectorsand on sunny days this considerably reduces the auxiliary energy needs~

A comparison between March 83 energy use and March 85 energy6presented in TableVIII~ For the two month peri ,there is over 45%reduction in oil consumption0 Besides there is an increase in passive solarcontribution, due to improved insulation of the building~

Inc 0 nc 1us i on the ret r 0 fit measures are ad equa tel y des i 9ned and w; t hslight modifications the performance the solar air heater can improveconsiderably~ This will lead to a further reduction in oil consumption@
