Please NEVER copy other's work! You should look at/learn from the work samples, and use your own ARCH121 and create something similar.

For assignment 1, you need to hand in your own site plan, the transit map, and the template. If you think to provide more/extra info to help you earn that LEED point, please include them.

# data[].attributes.body
The site plan: please use your own site plan from your ARCH121 project. This site plan should show the length and path from the main entrance of your building to the entrance of your building site (distance 1); and please use a "triangle" to indicate where exactly is your building's main entrance. A Legend is needed for various information/linetype/etc.

A transit map: you can start with a screenshot from Google map, which includes the nearest Commuter Rail/Light Rail/Subway (NOTE: highway 7 has a Purple line, a #1 bus line, and a #300 bus line-- Please conduct research and find out what these lines are/mean). Next, find out local bus line(s) that go into Cochrane Dr., and the bus stop(s) that are the nearest/close to your project site. So, you measure the lengths from the nearest bus stop(s) to your building site entrance (distance 2).

Thus, now, you have an idea how long these walking distances are (e.g., distance route A=distance 1 + distance 2).  If you have more than one bus stop, of course, you have more than one distance route.

Legend is a must. You can add written descriptions on top of drawings if you think they are best to help you achieve the LEED point.

ComCheck part: it is very important that you understand the concept: what information you need to fill in the areas in the software, then the result will come as expected.

All Steps in the assignment are quite straight forward, just follow the instructions. However, Step 8 (R-value) and Step 9 (ComCheck)  are a bit difficult. So, I post some extra info in here to help you through these 2 steps.

READ CAREFULLY on each post

# data[].attributes.body
Student work sample

Pay special attention to Step 8 in page 8--the R Value calculations. Only you know about this step then can you proceed to the Step 9--the ComCheck

# data[].attributes.body
When you are asked: how much is the total R value for one assembly:
You can use the form below to calculate the total R-Value for each assembly. NOTE: the most important thing is you KNOW the composition of each assembly, and then, list out each item/component in the composition in order, and find the related R-value for each material, and finally, add all R-value together.

NOW, read again page 8  of student work sample, and see how Jessica find and add all different R-value together

Below work sample is from a group project in the past (NOTE: please ensure you are clear about your current ARCH121-whether it is a group project or an individual project)

# data[].attributes.body
The SB-10 Tables tells us how much insulation is required in different types of assembly
(of course, you need to READ the whole SB-10, but in here, we just focus on one page, as an example)

SB-10, page 52

Like, in the following page, (this page is for buildings locate in Zone 6), under the Opaque Elements/ Roofs/Insulation Entirely Above Deck, now, go to column: Nonresidential/Insulation/Min. R-Value
You will see R-35 ci. meaning: the required min. insulation R value is 35 rigid insulation for your type of roof (ci meanings Continuous)

Moreover, if you follow the light-blue color indicators in the same page: go to Walls/Above Grade/
Steel Framed, look to the right-hand side, under Nonresidential/Insulation/Min. R-Value
You will see R-13 + R-15 ci. meaning: in the wall assembly for the Metal Building, R 13 is for the batt insulation that you have between your metal studs, and then the R15 ci is for the continuous rigid insulation. In this scenario, your type of wall assembly has 2 different insulations (batt + rigid).

So now, you know the different R value needed for different assemblies, based on the Code

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.subject
NEXT, you will need to know the thickness of the rigid insulation (bcs you need to draw this thing in your ARCH drawing)

# data[].attributes.body
The thickness dimension is the dimension that you need to have/know, in order to draw the thickness of the rigid insulation in your ARCH 121 design project

The general rule of thumb: 1" thickness of rigid insulation offer 5 R  (5R per inch). You can use it when working on the project/assignment.
But NOTE: the exact R value per inch depends on the manufacture/product (as you learn more about this material, you will understand more)

Generally speaking, to calculate the thickness of the rigid insulation (e.g., R15), apply the rule of thumb (5R/inch), you will get the thickness of R15.  Some Math here: 15/5=3", then,  based on 25.4mm/", convert 3" to 76.2 MM--this is the thickness that you should have when you draw your design drawing.

R-value thickness calculation example below: show you how to know/calculate the thickness of your roof rigid insulation required in your ARCH121

Generally, you SHOULD analyze those 20 samples listed on the Course Shell.

The requirements:
your answer for each question should have all explanations/steps on how you get the answer. Also, remember to write down the Unit for your answer. e.g. 9 M. (M. indicates as Meter)

The order of the questions in the quiz is randomized by the system. But each question is a stand-alone type--meaning: you can based on the conditions given in that question and solve that question. (questions on your assignment have order, but questions on the quiz do not have order)

The length of the quiz is 30 min. forward only.

Get a paper format translation dictionary if you need one.

Good luck, everyone!

Understanding the composition of various assemblies is important to work on Step 8 and Step 9

# data[].attributes.subject
Understanding the composition of various assemblies is important to work on Step 8 and Step 9

# data[].attributes.body
Normally, one building envelop includes many assemblies, such as roof assembly, exterior wall assembly at the front of the house, exterior wall assembly at the back of the house, the first floor slab assembly, and so on.

And normally, one assembly includes many components. For instance, a roof assembly in an industry warehouse may consist of open web steel joist, steel deck, rigid insulation, roof membrane, ballast and etc.

Your lab instructor will tell you what assembly used in each area, like, what should you use in your roof assembly

The below picture is from ARCH121 Lecture 5.1--and this is about various wall assembly compositions. Pay attention to its insulations: batt insulation between the steel studs, and rigid insulation locates on the outer side of the concrete block/steel stud

# data[].attributes.body
After you understand the composition of each assembly, then you can list out all components in each assembly, then you can look for the R-value for each component in that assembly, then you add all the R value up, and then you can get the total R value of that assembly. Follow the same procedure and do this same thing for all other assemblies.

Questions:  about the submission of the learning activities

Q1, should these learning activities on paper and scanned or typed?

Q2, Do I need to provide proof of the building that I use for these activities/calculations?

# data[].attributes.body
Answers:

Q1, You can choose the presentation format: a), TYPE your learning activities (questions/answers) and draw the related illustrations digitally (via ACAD/applications that you are good at) on 8.5"x11" papers; or b), if you are good at hand sketching skills,  hand-write and PRINT the learning activities (questions/answers) and draw the related illustrations by hand on 8.5"x11" papers. And next, for either a), or, b), format, please scan all these papers as pdfs in the correct order and combine all pdfs into one combined pdf file, and submit the combined file. Note: this file will get the grade.

Q2, as for the proof, please scan your ARCH101 or, ENVR 101 as pdfs in the correct drawing order, and combine all pdfs into one combined pdf file, and submit the combined pdf file--if you have this combined pdf file from last semester, you can just drop it off into this assignment box. Note: this file has no grade linked to it.

Therefore, you should hand in 2 different combined pdf files: one file is your learning activity, another file is your ARCH101/ENVR101. And please name the files with correct names/titles.

As always, please read carefully, read everything on each page/sentence/paragraph posted on your course shell, and follow the designed sequence.

As any other asynchronous courses, this asynchronous ENVR 2 course was designed by a group of talented instructional designers, and everything posted there has reasons!

# data[].attributes.body
A: some possible causes are as followed: (NOTE: the following explanations are based on the illustration that I show in this Padlet Column-Step 9: Comcheck-2. Your design may be different)

1, have you read everything on my step-by-step Comcheck guide? Did you read all posts in my Padlet that related to Comcheck?

2, did you study, understand, finish Step #8, where you need to calculate the R-value for each assembly? And, do you remember the "envelope" concept: you mailed a letter before? You used an envelope to enclose a letter and seal the envelope, right? In a building, the building envelope includes the roof assembly, exterior wall assembly, and floor slab assembly-these 3 types of assemblies form an "envelope" to "seal" the building (from an energy perspective). Therefore, if one of these assemblies is missing in your Comcheck inputs, the calculation will fail.

3, check the elevation areas where your front of the house (f.o.h.) meets with the back of the house (b.o.h.): in my illustration attached, on East Elevation, the b.o.h. is only the Blue area; while for West Elevation, there is no area for f.o.h. (bcs it meets with the b.o.h.) . Therefore, you should input the areas in Comcheck exactly like that.

4, your design may/should have 2 different types of exterior wall assembly for f.o.h and b.o.h., so, did you check the Comcheck inputs accordingly?

5, check the inputs on walls where you have windows: did you add only the wall area, or did you include the window area as part of the wall area?

6, check the floor slab: did you forget to add the floor slab (I mean your first-floor floor slab, not the floor assembly between the first-floor and the second-floor).

7, check to see if each assembly's R-value meets the SB-10 standard for each corresponding assembly: i.e., when choosing the R-value for insulation in roof assembly (insulation entirely above deck), the R-value itself should be R-35ci., according to page 52, Zone 6, TAble SB 5.5-6-2017. Therefore, your input should be 35.

8, your lab may use other R-values which are different from the SB-10 standard. This will impact (positively or negatively) your calculation of Comcheck results. If this is the case, you can discuss these things in your last Step # 11--where you provide some reflections on how the R-values impact the energy performance of your building design.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, I would like to see how you learn/use the Comcheck, how you understand the building envelope concepts, or if you know how to get the appropriate R-value from the SB-10, how you calculate the R-value for each different assembly--indeed, this type of knowledge is so important that the ARCH201 and beyond will have assignments similar to Step #8.

I know from past experience that some students may still fail to pass the calculation even though they have tried multiple times. I appreciate your efforts.

When submitting the assignment, please make sure to hand in the "failed" Comcheck too, so you can get a grade for this Step #8. (check my Padlet for the grading rubric)

# data[].attributes.body
Q: it this a group project?

A: NO. The Energy Project is an individual assignment, everyone please work ALONE. And you should only use your own ARCH121 project as the base for this Energy Project.

# data[].attributes.body
Should we use the daylighting factor of 2 percent for all our rooms?

# data[].attributes.body
Using the figures from Table 4.4 (from the course shell material) would be ok for the purpose of this assignment.

You can also read the extra material "Daylighting Guide for Canadian Commercial Buildings" and use "a daylight factor of 3% is suitable for most general lighting situations."(http://www.tboake.com/powerpoint/daylighting_canada.pdf, page 27)

Of course, when you work in a real office, further research is needed.
