BES710 2013-1 Research Assignment #1
Research and briefly identify the energy conservation measures that reduce a building’s energy use by reducing one or more of the heating/cooling/electrical loads experienced by that building. (hint : ground source heat pumps, etc. do not reduce the building load, they merely are a more efficient manner of meeting the building load.)
Then select one of the conservation measures you have identified above, and prepare a written report, 1500 words in length, and illustrated as required. Make sure you follow guidelines re: footnotes, identification of all sources and plagiarism.
The report must summarise how the measure reduces building load and hence saves energy, what building science principles are involved, how successful the measure is in practice, what limitations there are in using this measure, and how much can typically be saved.
All of these areas must be addressed in order to obtain full marks.
The Report is to be submitted to me electronically in PDF format by Midnight, Sunday March 31st , 2013 , and is worth 15% of your final mark in the Course. Late submissions are penalized 10% per calendar-day.
