Low-Energy Structures Concepts.
Abstract
This report has discussed various concepts for energy conservation in Navy shore facilities which can be achieved through architectural and structural design decisions. These concepts include earth-sheltered structures, thermal mass concepts, passive solar designs, and exploitation of existing technology. Advantages and disadvantages of the systems were discussed in qualitative terms. Where possible, specific data and equations were presented to show how the benefits could be evaluated for specific designs. Sufficient information is available here and in the references to permit a designer to evaluate any of the concepts for applicability to a specific design case. (Author)
