Envelope Design - Apertures, Shading, Thermal Performance
Envelope - Thermal Enclosure:
Source: High Performance Buildings Database
A highly efficient building envelope reduces thermal transfer. The use of structural insulated panels in place offrame construction greatly increased the insulation value of the walls. Overall, insulation values for almostevery part of the building envelope are at least twice the values required by state code. For coldclimate buildings this is emerging as a starting point for building envelope design standards. It does pose somechallenges in the detailing of the envelope - but which can be accomodated.

Envelope - Controlling Aperture Solar Gains: SOUTH ELEVATIONSOUTH GLAZING
Staff Lunchroom Clerestory and Window Wall Solar Radiation
With passive design, and CND strategies for load reduction, it is extremely important to prevent solar gain intothe interior of the building in the cooling months. The windows that allow for passive solar gain in the heatingmonths must be blocked from the exterior to minimize cooling requirements in the summer season. The diagrambelow shows the way that they roof overhangs have been designed to produce shading during the hot summermonths, while at the same time allowing deep solar penetration in the winter. This simple natural extension of theroof also assisted in simplifying the design and saving money that might have otherwise been required ifspecialized shading devices had been required.

Envelope - Controlling Aperture Solar Gains: NORTH ELEVATIONNORTH GLAZING
Clerestory and Office Windows
Although potentially less of an issue in terms of solar control than south facing windows, north facing windowshave their own special concerns in Carbon Neutral Design. In the case of the Leopold Center, the windows are
being used for daylighting, in order to reduce the electric lighting load during the daytime hours, as well as topromote natural ventilation. From a thermal perspective, windows are significantly less efficient than the superinsulated walls that they puncture. So a balance needs to be struck between keeping them large enough todaylight and ventilate the building, but small enough so that they do not result in large winter and nighttime heatlosses.
