An energy-efficient building envelope leads to less reliance on energy-hungry active systems to maintain comfortable internal temperatures. Good building design decreases power consumption, saves money, and reduces the effects of climate change. On the other hand, poor building design is uneconomical and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. There are several design parameters that determine the thermal performance of the building shell, and all of them can be optimised in the design stage of the building. Also, contextual information, such as local climate and orientation, is an important factor; the design of the building shell should be adjusted accordingly. PROJECT AIM  The aim of this assignment is  1. to quantify the impact of building envelope components (e.g. external walls, floors, ceilings, and windows), climate region, and building orientation on the thermal load.  2. to improve the envelope design to achieve the minimum requirement of NatHERS star rating. To test ideas and support arguments, a simulation tool, FirstRate5, will be used to estimate the thermal performance of a case study building. The individual student will propose scenarios to be tested, analyze and interpret modeling data from FirstRate5, and prepare a formal report to achieve the objectives of this project. CASE STUDY BUILDING AND BASELINE To save students time and effort on the FirstRate5 simulation, a baseline model is provided. Students can construct alternative scenarios by modifying the settings of the baseline model. As illustrated in Figure 1, The baseline design has an entry door facing south. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living/dining spaces, and multiple services rooms on a single floor. Table 1 compiles some essential settings in the baseline design and it achieves 0.8-star according to the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS). The baseline model, together with FirstRate5 Manual, and the instruction videos, has been uploaded to the “FirstRate5” tile on Moodle site.  Below are some requirements that may affect your envelope redesign. · Do not make any changes to the internal construction (FR5-Int wall type) · If ceiling insulation is needed, the installation has to be on the roof level. Also, insulation with R>5 is not preferred because of cost and roof space concerns · The alternative climate regions that must be included in your testing are Darwin #1, Canberra #24; Mascot airport #56  · The alternative window types that must be included in your testing are ATB-004-03 B, ALM-002-02 A, PVC-002-01 W, and FIB-001-02 W Figure 1.
