ENJOY HOUSE
has been completed by Team New Jersey for participating US Department of energy
solar decathlon in 2011. A main concept of this home design is to build a home
with high performance and using energy efficiently so that its design applies
some technologies.
This home’s design features many
special part for an affordable,
functional, energy-efficient house suited to the climate of New Jersey such as, concrete panel in all roof, wall, and floor, perforation, and
a rainwater collector called inverter-hip roof. And the technologies in this
house such as, an evacuated solar thermal tubes (able to heat domestic hot
water and preheating for the hydronic radiant floor), Fiberglass-framed
windows, a 9-kW photovoltaic system with target output of 36 kWh, energy
recovery ventilators and dehumidifiers. Photo by JimTetro.com
ENJOY House by Team New Jersey:
“Team New Jersey's entry for the U.S. Department of Energy Solar
Decathlon 2011, ENJOY House, suggests a
new way of approaching high-performance,
energy-efficient
residential design. Cutting-edge fabrication techniques meet the age-old technology of concrete in its intelligent
design. The roof's invertedhip
shape is calibrated for optimal solar energy and rainwater
collection, contributing to an architecture informed by performance criteria.
Design Philosophy
The ENJOY House integrates
passive strategies, new solar technologies, and contemporary
architectural ideas. Built of pre-cast concrete insulated panels, the house requires little
upkeep compared with traditional stick-frame materials. The highly insulated building
envelope and passive solar strategies significantly reduce
heating and cooling loads.
Features
Team New Jersey aims to create
an affordable, functional, energy-efficient house suited to
the climate of New Jersey. To accomplish these goals, the
ENJOY House features:
Concrete panels in all roof,
wall, and floor assemblies that use varied casting processes
Perforations that allow for
daylighting and dramatically improve thermal performance
An inverted-hip roof that allows for rainwater collection.
Technologies
ENJOY House incorporates
strategic technologies, including:
Evacuated solar thermal tubes
that heat domestic hot water and provide preheating for the hydronic radiant
floor
Fiberglass-framed windows that
are high-performing, energy-efficient, and durable
A 9-kW photovoltaic system
with a target daily electric output of 36 kWh
Energy recovery ventilators
and dehumidifiers that keep cool air inside the house while providing fresh air
from outside.
Market Strategy
The ENJOY House is intended
for a couple that retires to the Jersey shore. With a retiree's needs in mind,
the team has designed a 960-ft2 (89-m2) house that is
ADA-accessible. Team New Jersey has integrated universal design principles into
its architecture to create a house that is accessible to people of all ages and
levels of mobility.
What's Next
Nonprofit organizations in New
Jersey as well as private homebuilders have expressed interest in taking
possession of the ENJOY House after the competition. Team New Jersey hopes to
determine the house's final destination before the start of Solar Decathlon
2011.”
This modern home design, called Solar Homestead has fully designed by
Appalachian State University for participating US Department of Energy Solar
Decathlon in 2011. The features of this home design are the high technologies
that applied for its energy supply.
Inspired by traditional Appalachian settlements is called Solar Homestead. It’s a
traditional settlement lifestyle that is combined with modern
clean-energy technology. There are six outbuilding modules connect to form
the Great Porch. House features
two bedrooms, a day-lit bathroom, energy-efficient appliances,
and a versatile living and dining area, also includes an independent flex space
that can be used as a home office, art studio, or guest quarters and 8.2-kW
trellis of bifacial solar cells on outdoor living space. The Solar Homestead house has
forty-two bifacial photovoltaic panels to provide solar energy,
on-demand solar thermal domestic hot water system provide constant water
temperature, and a trombe wall that can store heat and release it at
night. This house was designed for residents
of Asheville, North Carolina by Appalachian State University
and participated in U.S. Department of
Energy Solar Decathlon 2011.

Passive design strategy increases this home value, this passive home design applies
some home technologies and features make it more efficient in energy using. Its
Interior design mostly combines in white and widely constructed that provides
more space and remembers to the suitable with exterior.
Inspired of Paul Rudolph’s Cocoon House, it incorporates lightness and
open spatial. It also incorporates tropical design including louvers, flat roof
and expansive horizontally. The unique house features such as operable louvers
that protect against hurricane-force winds, a fully retractable glazing system
and an exterior deck, and Bio-remediating beds. And some technologies and
strategies include cross ventilation, shading canopy, a ductless air
conditioning system, system automation (sensors, timers, and remote controls),
monitoring capabilities, a reflective white exterior. This house’s design was
created by team of Florida International University solardecathlon.fiu.edu as an entry of U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011.

Team website: solardecathlon.fiu.edu
"Florida International
University's U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011 entry, the perFORM[D]ance
House, responds to its environment, its inhabitants, and its use. Its open
pavilion design links the interior with the exterior through a layered façade
and integrated landscape, and operable louver panels open to extend the
interior space and expand the livable space to the exterior. The ever-changing
configuration is driven by environmental conditions, resulting in an
interactive performance that showcases sustainable strategies and technologies.Design Philosophy
The design of the perFORM[D]ance House incorporates lightness and open spatial continuity reminiscent of Paul Rudolph's Cocoon House. The house incorporates key elements of tropical design, including louvers, a continuous flat roof, and an expansive horizontality.Features
The perFORM[D]ance House features:
·
Operable louvers that raise and lower as needed for privacy, shading,
and protection against hurricane-force winds
·
A fully retractable glazing system on the windows that provides relief
from the heat and humidity of South Florida
·
An exterior deck with a garden and biofiltration pond
·
Bio-remediating beds that treat storm-water runoff collected from the
roof using native landscaping that filters sediment, reduces runoff, and
oxygenates water.
Technologies
Florida International University's house is an elegant hybrid of technology and design that achieves livability and sustainability using:
·
Passive design strategies such as natural cross-ventilation, canopy
shade devices, and daylighting to reduce demand on mechanical systems
·
A ductless air conditioning system that uses micro-climate zoning to
increase comfort while decreasing load
·
Sensors, timers, and remote controls to provide system automation that
increases efficiency and reduces operation and maintenance costs
·
A weather station with monitoring capabilities that allows homeowners
to monitor energy production and use, solar panel performance, and water
consumption
·
A reflective white exterior to reduce cooling demand.
Market Strategy
The perFORM[D]ance House was designed for a Hispanic-American couple whose children are off in college. Juan Gonzalez is a self-employed contractor and green building advocate. Alice Gonzalez is a former art history professor who has an illness that requires her to use a wheelchair. These empty-nesters have always wanted to retire to the sunny, subtropical climate of Miami, Florida.What's Next
After the house returns from Solar Decathlon 2011, it will be installed on the Modesto A. Maidique Campus of Florida International University in Miami. The perFORM[D]ance House will support the university's Office of Sustainability by serving as a visitor center pavilion and promoting the university's mission for sustainability."![Interior-Design-Bedroom-Kitchen-Diningroom-Livingroom-PerFORM[D]ance-House](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgomnGOu3rzm0WQSpckO4IRAIoFAhb6fSbDqB7VAjoYfs27-v1aowBC4izZwpTUrE9FRya96UDEiBvNoolxPXHM8Jvg8a-kI7HyzLZdCzkJ1Vo2VyG1zE2xN6ADrXBTB8_rJ4-dwZz8TGc/s1600/Interior-Design-Bedroom-Kitchen-Diningroom-Livingroom-PerFORM%5BD%5Dance-House.jpg "Interior-Design-Bedroom-Kitchen-Diningroom-Livingroom-PerFORM[D]ance-House")
