Research and Development to Support an Ultra-Energy-Efficient Residential Building Stock in Ontario

加拿大需要利用超级隔热建筑围护结构（SIBE）技术（即墙壁、屋顶、楼板、窗户和门）来设计和建造大大减少运行能源的超节能（UEE）房屋。建议的研究问题是，目前的建筑围护结构组件的设计不直接转移到超级绝缘建筑围护结构设计。许多情况下，突出的有害影响（如模具退化）时，目前的设计已被用作SIBE设计的框架。拟议项目将进行分析研究，利用实验室和现场实验来量化成功标准，以填补传统建筑围护结构设计理念与SIBE设计理念之间的知识差距，以支持UEE住宅标准市场的发展。 * 工作性质 * 拟议的研究将制定加拿大气候特定的SIBE技术的建议，使用定量研究支持的性能标准。 将制定与系统独立专家业绩直接相关的成功标准，作为支持成果分析的分析基础。 研究将通过实验室和现场全尺寸实验进行测试和分析。 将使用经过实验验证的模拟模型生成其他性能数据。 这项工作的成果支持了系统独立和独立经济实体的开发、改造和建设，以支持加拿大各地的UEE住房存量。 ** 住宅能源使用占加拿大能源使用的很大一部分（约15%）。 为了减少加拿大的能源消耗，加拿大人需要通过使用健康、耐用、节能和经过验证的SIBE来设计和建造UEE建筑。 拟议的研究很重要，因为它直接支持在建筑和社区规模上显著提高能源效率。 为了减少高水平的能源使用，需要耐用和可建造的SIBE。 * 研究对谁重要 * 这项研究对公众、工业界和学术界都很重要。 公众将受益于可用的SIBE组件的开发。 工业将受益于可持续材料、建筑和可再生能源等绿色经济部门的直接市场增长。 学术界将受益于前沿研究，提供与SIBE和未来研究相关的具体成果，以发展研究领域。 * 预期结果 ** 将公布测量数据，以支持对超节能房屋日益增长的需求，同时使用确保耐用，可持续建筑库存的策略。 - 将公布制定分层目标系统的结果，并公布在加拿大设计和建造SIBE组件的指南。 - 将对管理守则和标准提出具体建议，重点关注SIBE系统。这些数据将与支持高效能源输送系统以及可再生能源和生物能源系统的数据相结合。 该项目的建筑围护结构和系统研究成果将得到建筑和制造业采用拟议超节能战略能力的批判性分析的补充。 * 研究领域和加拿大将如何受益 * 拟议的项目将通过量化SIBE的性能来减少加拿大能源生产和使用对环境的影响，以支持全国各地UEE住宅的设计和建造。由此产生的目标能源削减将直接使加拿大能够在2020年前实现温室气体减排，仅在短期内就可能产生超过15亿美元的收入。

The demand exists in Canada to utilize super-insulated building envelope (SIBE) technology (i.e. walls, roofs, slabs, windows and doors) to design and construct ultra-energy-efficient (UEE) houses that significantly reduce operational energy. The proposed research problem is that current designs of building envelope assemblies do not directly transfer to super-insulated building envelope designs. Numerous cases highlight deleterious effects (e.g. mould deterioration) when current design has been used as a framework for SIBE design. The proposed project will conduct analytical research to quantify success criteria utilizing laboratory and field experiments to fill the knowledge gap between traditional building envelope design philosophy and that of SIBEs to support the development of a standard market of UEE residential dwellings. ***Nature of the Work*** The proposed research will develop recommendations for Canadian climate specific SIBE technologies using performance criteria backed by quantitative research. Success criteria directly related to the performance of SIBEs will be developed as the analytical back-bone to support results analysis. The research will be tested and analyzed through laboratory and in-situ full-scale experimentation. Additional performance data will be generated using experimentally validated simulation models. Results from this work support the development, adaptation and construction of SIBEs to support and UEE housing stock across Canada. ***Why is the Research Important*** Residential dwelling energy use accounts for a significant amount of Canada’s energy use (approximately 15%). In an effort to reduce Canada’s energy consumption, Canadians require the means to design and construct UEE buildings through utilizing SIBEs that are healthy, durable, energy efficient and proven. The proposed research is important because it directly supports significant energy efficiency increases at both the building and community scale. In order to reduce the high level energy use, durable and constructible SIBEs are required. ***To Whom is the Research Important*** The research is important to the general public, industry and academia. The general public will benefit from development of useable SIBE assemblies. Industry will benefit from direct market growth in green economy sectors such as sustainable materials, construction and renewables. Academia will benefit from leading edge research providing concrete results related to SIBEs and future research to grow the field of study. ***Anticipated Outcomes*** -Measured data will be published to support the increasing demand of ultra-energy-efficient houses while using strategies that ensure a durable, sustainable building stock. -Results to develop a tiered target system and publish guidelines for design and construction of SIBE assemblies in Canada will be published. -Specific recommendations will be made to governing codes and standards to focus sections on SIBE systems. This data will be coupled with data to support highly efficient energy delivery systems and renewable and bio-energy systems. -The building envelope and systems research output from this project will be complimented by critical analysis of the construction and manufacturing sectors capacity to adopt the proposed ultra-energy-efficient strategies. ***How the Research Field and Canada Will Benefit*** The proposed project will reduce Canada’s environmental impacts of energy production and use through quantifying performance of SIBEs to support the design and construction of UEE homes throughout the nation. The resulting target energy reductions will directly enable Canada to achieve their GHG emission reductions by 2020 and could result in over $1.5 billion in the near term alone.
