The Impacts of Code Compliant Ventilation Systems Coupled with a Variety of Mechanical Systems on Annual Heating Energy Performance in a Vancouver Residential House through EnergyPlus Model ANDREW YANG, M. ENG. BRITISH COLUMBIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

Introduction  Change in BC Building Code  Stringent building envelope requirement  Importance of quality ventilation Dwelling Types in Canada Energy Use by Sector End-Use Energy Consumption

Objectives  To study acceptable ventilation system’s heating energy use  To analyze heating energy use for different systems through energy model  To identify energy saving potential and potential improvements

House Specifications  2-Storey and a basement  Area / volume: 2,388 ft 2 / 20,872 ft 3  Window-to-wall ratio: 9%  Windows: 0.35 U-Value & 0.32 SHGC  Air leakage rate: 2.5 ACH 50  Ventilation rate: 60 cfm

Type of Systems Investigated  Electric Baseboard (Exhaust-only ventilation)  Electric Baseboard (Balanced ventilation)  Electric Baseboard (with HRV)  Furnace  Furnace (with HRV)

Heat Recovery Ventilator Exhaust Fan Supply Fan Heat Exchanger Core Transfers Heat from Exhaust Air to Fresh Air

System Specifications  Design Heating Load Base Systems Design Heating Load Ventilation Load Without HRV 25,420 Btu/h 2,611 Btu/h With HRV 23,540 Btu/h 731 Btu/h  Equipment sizing based on the design heating load Equipment Specifications Electric Baseboard Meets zone level loads Furnace 2.5 Ton (30,000 Btu/h) / 800 cfm HRV 79 cfm / 72% sensible efficiency
