Contest supportdocuments

This section describes estonyshin es strategies towards the ten con-tests of the competition and the projects objectives in the differentaspects considered in each of the contests. It is divided into tensubsections, one for each of the SDE Contests.

estonyshin eaims at the integration of new energetically efficienttechnologies in the architecture of solar powered houses and atthe definition of new concepts in architectural design based onthese technologies, with the ultimate goal of proposing innova-tive solutions and increasing the performance of more traditionalones.

Six key issues delineate estonyshin es strategy:

The use of freestone in building, which, thanks to advancedtechnologies and new design methods, shows promise of sus-tainability and energetic efficiency, together with great aes-thetic appearanceboth classical and new, low-tech defini-tion, and hygro-thermal advantages.

The call upon concentrated solar power systems, possiblycombining photovoltaics and thermal, to answer to the housesenergetic needs with higher efficiency and lower prices thanstandard photovoltaic flat panels, by proposing new ideas fortheir morphologic and technologic integration in architectureand testing recently appeared technologies. Concentratedphotovoltaic systems make the use of high performance butcostly cells possible limiting the cost of the installation, fur-

thermore they optimize the use of raw materials such aspolysilicon, reducing shortage risks.

Six key issues delineate ourstrategy: freestone,concentrated solar powersystems, module-embeddedcontrol of the photovoltaicfield, new interface design,materials, and technologies,optimal illumination,integration of architecturaland structural design withproject logistics.

The control of the photovoltaic field with electronic systemsembedded into each module and suitably controlled to ex-tract the maximum energy. Such control allows for the recon-figuration of this fieldas a consequence of external factorsthat hinder, at least partly, the energy productionto mini-mize module mismatch and shadowing losses more efficientlythan standard maximum power point tracking centralizedconverters.

The research of new design, materials, and technologies, forthe interface between the solar module and the building struc-ture, including temperature control, ventilation, and caulkissues, pre-fabrication problems and production costs reduc-tion for a significative commercial impact.

The search for optimal illumination, both natural and ar-tificial, to satisfy illuminance criteria designed according tofunctionality and architectural needs and create spatial ef-fects through lighting design.

The integration of architectural and structural design withproject logistics, intended to reduce the overall cost of theproduct and increasing its quality and sustainability.

These matters will be treated jointly as they contribute to the mainsearch for the building integration of the solar modules, increasingtheir applicability, extending the photovoltaic compatible areas,and rendering acceptable their installation for their visual impacton the urban and rural landscapes.

In the present version this section contains information on:

3.1.1 Architectural Concepts

At the center of estonyshin es architectural design is the feeling thatthe integration of new technologies, especially solar photovoltaics,cant be simply and always obtained without a revision of the ar-chitectural form and elements. Hence a tendency to display, not toconceal or embed into existing and usual setups, whatever systemmade to add to the house the energy production functionality orreduce its ecological footprint.

The second lung of estonyshin es breath is the believe that archi-tecture needs re-finding a proper language for stoneworks.

The use of stone as a structural material has received renewedattention in the past few years. Starting from the study of an-cient, though innovative, proposals, researchers contributing to

estonyshin ehave conceived new structural systems based on free-stone stereotomy that conjugate effectively aesthetics and environ-mental quality (1).

Freestone is interesting for the environment, especially if quarriednot too far from the erection site (within a 1000 km range), beingsalvageable in demolitions and entirely reusable or anyway recy-clable or downcyclable, and causing very reduced air and water pol-

lution during construction. Sustainability of freestone is also highlyvaluable, as its processing entails no direct greenhouse gas emis-sions, no toxicity risks, controlled dust and the use of recycled orrecyclable water, while, as a resource, stone is inexhaustible.

Stone conjugatessustainability and hightech. It is esthetically andenergetically effective.

Manufacturing of stones is today a highly automatic, computer-aided industry, which is energetically very efficient and producesvery limited amounts of waste materials. The penetration of free-stone into the house market need nevertheless the solution of issuesrelated with the freedom of architectural forms and the costs inerecting the edifice, an activity often consuming labor and mate-rials due to the need of providing falsework.

Prototypes of houses have recently been put forward by membersof estonyshin eand demonstrative structures built to help solvingthese questions. Experiences have been carried on and will be todeal in particular with: embedded falsework contributing to thefinal structural system, new materialsespecially compositetobear tensions, new structural assembly such as dry contacts andglued interfaces (see figure 3.17).

The main concern issuing from the search for architectural formsThe conundrum is:concentrating the sunrequires concavity; bearingloads with stones convexity.

that are consistent with both solar technologies and stone struc-tures stands in the very heart of architecture as it is related tothe shape of the roof. Concentrating the solar radiation requiresconcavity; bearing loads with stone structures is a matter of con-vexity: what compromise can be achieved between such oppositeneeds?

estonyshin es answer is entirely new. A saddle vault is designed instone, achieving the capacity to withstand loads by curvature and,at the same time, creating an optimal shape facing the sun path.The thus obtained ruled surface can support along its rules anarray of Solarflight elementsa concentrate photovoltaic systempatented by members of the team in this occasion. The vault is

designed adapting a patent issued in XVII century France to createan assemblage of movable components that can be built withoutfalsework thanks to new lifting technologies. It will be the firstsaddle vault in stone ever built. Technical issues related to thisvault and solar technologies will be presented in the relevant partsof this manual.

The space conceived by estonyshin eis simple and transformable toallow for multi-use. The house plan is build on a square dividedinto two rectangles. An open living space occupies the south sidewhile the remaining volume, in the north, has a main ground and

a first floor.

The ground floor of the northern part contains the bathroom, onesleeping room and the equipment room (see figure 3.3a and 3.3b).The open space in the south, with a patio door glazed alongsidethe southern facade, houses living and dining activities and a con-vertible area sheared with the sleeping room (see figure 3.3a). Thekitchen is partly in the open space, partly under the ceiling of thenorthern part.

The first floor is a railed gallery, staying over the kitchen, bathroomand sleeping room area, giving onto the ground floor open space.It integrates two more sleeping places and furnitures as librariesand desks (see figure 3.3b).

The whole building is inscribed in a 10 m 10 m 6 m rightsquare prism, staying at the center of the 20 m 20 m parcelallocated for the competition. The overall footprint of 100 m2

contains rooms the measurable area of whichaccording to theSDE Rules, Rule 6.3is about 100 m2 with 70 m2 at the mainfloor.

The whole space isesthetically andfunctionally conceivedunder the saddle vault.

As already mentioned the concept generating estonyshin e is thesaddle vault conjugating solar and static needs. The whole spaceis conceived under this vault to take esthetic advantage of it andachieve maximal functionality.

The saddle is inclined southward to face the sun path at best duringthe year; the angle formed between the line joining its highestpoints (on the north and south facade) and the horizon is 915.As a consequence the northern facade reaches the maximum heightof 6 m above site, while the southern one reaches 4.435 m at most.The lowest points of the roof extrados surface are at 2.368 m,located on the east and west facades.

The steepest rule of the saddle equipped with Solarflights (2) facesthe sun at an elevation of 60 and azimuth of 21718, correspond-ing to the average position of the sun at 15:30 during the fourmonths of highest insolation (May to September).

The house has the pureshape of a quarried stoneblock with one face cut inthe shape of the saddle asby a mathematicaloperation.

The volume covered by such a complex shape had to be otherwiseas simple as possible. Consequently the square plan was chosenand the whole of the house designed to reveal the resulting shapeof an ideal prism cut by the saddle surface on top. Stone has

been treated on the facades to give this overall appearance of puregeometry the rendering of a solid and yet not primitive block, whilethe saddle roof is the only not stony surface seen from outside thehouse.

The intrados shape replicates that of the extrados, with a struc-tural system that has been contrived with minimal ribs, not toconceal or mystify the saddle shape, while the bonding of stonesdraw a pattern on the surface that is reminiscent of the interweav-ing strips of canes in a basketa material translation that it issupposed to impart the quality of appearing lightweight. When inthe living room, the interior of the house reveals itself as a sin-gle volume under the vault, the whole ceiling being seen from thisspace, with the volume of the block under the gallery resting underthe highest part of the vault without touching it.

Stone, that envelops and shelters the house from outside as a con-tinuous structure, becomes, when inside, a porous fabric, both onthe walls and on the vault. The same bonding and material used onthe facades to give the impression of mass and protection are hereprocessed to suggest the opposite feeling. Behind the stony cellu-lar curtain a uniform sheet of cork appears with contrasting color,texture, hardness, and most material properties and responses tophysical inputs. The twoso to speakopposite material are thuscombined in the interior walls; the heavier and harder, but lighter-toned stone appearing as a thin fence, the lighter and softer, butdarker cork as a bulky coat.

Stone envelops continuouslythe outside and looks as buta thin porous fence whenseen from inside, wherecork is felt as a bulkyenclosure, in defiance ofhaving the two materialsproperties opposite to theseappearances.

The use of space in a house of the e-world must be as more flexibleas possible. Slack space must be reconfigured when available, asempty locations in electronic files. The continuous flow of infor-mation from and through the electronic devices that characterizeour era is reflected in a lifestyle where activity and place are nomore connected, with a few exceptions, as it has been the case forcenturies. Hence, the only spaces that is worth making specificare those located, in the house, under the gallery: sleeping room,bathroom, and (a part of the) kitchen; all other rooms need notbe specialized: the main living room and the two bed-and-livingrooms on the gallery will be equipped for multi-use. Three ac-tivities take place in these spaces: dining, studying, entertaining.Even though specific furnitures are included to satisfy the needsof such activities (table, desk, couch), we believe that the trulyuse of space will be one mixing, most of the time, needs and func-tions.

The volume allotted to the sleeping room at the ground floor isvariable and can be reduced when needed to enlarge the livingroom. The change in surface is minor (a few square meters), butit creates a more continuous space for the living room.

Furnitures in the living room are such to create reconfigurablespaces: the dining table disappears on side of the kitchens island,the desk with the moving divider between the living and sleepingroom. Chairs and other items can be stored in a large storagecompartment along the southern wall of the living room.

Since its origin the television set has been a symbol of a unifyingentertainment and heed for the family. As sets multiplied in thehouse and sources become diverse, the concurrence of attentiongradually disappeared and television became an individual occu-pation. Today contents interact with the public with devices andinterfaces that are, mostly, physically made to address a single user.Furthermore, multi-medial contents and platforms are designed tolet a single user surfing over them following his momentary incli-nation, rather exchanging with people across the net than livinga physical experience with his neighbors in the room. The mainscreen receiving television and diffusing images and sounds fromthis or other sources is much less the hardware supporting a com-mon activity today than it was the case of television sets in the50s. Most of the time the occupants of the house will have theirbooks (!), tablets, smartphones, computers, and etc., linked to avirtual world surrounding them but isolating them from one an-other. Creating a space that encourages the development of suchpersonalized activities in a collective mood, by letting people ofthe same family playing in their virtual world sitting bodily closeto one another is, in our opinion, a way to circumvent the potentialfamiliar disruption embedded in the new technologies.

Due to budget restrictions the house is not equipped with a TV-set. For the same reason, furnitures are also reduced to a mini-mum.

3.1.3 Lighting Design Narrative

Lighting requirements in indoor work places and associated areasare designed in terms of quantity and quality of illumination ac-cording to the European Standard EN 12464-1 to meet the needsfor visual comfort and performance of people having normal oph-thalmic capacity. These lighting requirements are also taken as agood reference to satisfy the needs with respect to the safety andhealth of people.

For the design of the luminous environment, in addition to theattainment of required illuminances, some qualitative and quan-titative needs must be satisfied to respond to the need for visualcomfort, visual performance, and safety. The corresponding mainparameters that must be controlled to determine the luminous en-vironment are: the luminance distribution, the illuminance, thedirectionality, variability, color rendering, and color appearance oflight, the glare, and the flicker.

In addition to the previous parameters relative to the quantity andquality of light, other must be consideredergonomically relatedto the visual performance of peoplesuch as the size, shape, po-sition, color and reflectance properties of detail and background,the use of a glare-free illumination, a good color rendering, and ahigh contrast.

Light needs of the house at day and night time are enumerated interms of intensity of illumination in the following table (minimalvalues given in the European Standard EN 12464-1); the param-eters appearing in the requirement are the illuminance values atfloor level, Em, the illuminance uniformity, Uo (requirement set forartificial lighting: with daylight the illuminance decreases rapidlywith distance from the window, but the benefit of daylight com-pensates for the lack of uniformity), the limit unified glare rating,UGRL, and color rendering index, Ra.

The actual values are (see table below):

slightly smaller than recommended, a choice that gives less reflec-tion and a warmer atmosphere in the house.

The minimal illuminance values taken on working surfaces are:

The lighting design under natural light is based on the sourcesgiven by the vertical openings. Hence such openings respond tothe following criteria:

being compatible with the modular construction (see 3.2),requiring them be located in the center of the standard panel;

comply with the thermal necessities of the house, both interms of insulation and radiation;

give rise to the appropriate daylight illumination.

Windows are thus located in the living room at the ground floorin such a way that they cast light upon the dining table (southernwindow on the east front), the kitchen counter (northern on thesame front) and the workplace (southern on the west front), whilea patio door opens southward brightening the whole space. Still atthe ground floor, the sleeping room is lighten at day by a window(on the north side of the east front) and the bathroom has a smallerwindow opening on the north front.

The patio door is located on the eastern part of the south front,while the western part of the same front is enclosed by a wall andthere is no window in the southern panel of the west front, in orderto shade most of the living room from the afternoon sun, especiallyin summertime.

The mezzanine gallery receives but a reflected light from the groundfloor openings of the living room and has a French door illumi-nating it from the north. Skylights could be used efficiently inthis area, but we had to desist from their insertion in the presentcontest, due to the technical difficulties that their rapid instal-lation and removal would rise (especially to obtain impermeabil-ity).

The interior artificial light design is based on two principles:

illuminate the surfaces for operational purposes (desks, counter,table, etc.),

create an atmosphere that confirms the uniformity of thespace as generated by the vault.

The whole design is based on the use of Osrams LINEARlightPOWER Flex, a flexible and cuttable LED strip with an efficiencyup to 80 lm/W and a dimmable fine white light. The strips are 8mm large and a maximum length of 3 m; they will be put betweentwin beams on the ceiling, creating linear light sources followingthe structural design of the roof.

This system realizes a perfect integration between the architectureof the building and its lighting. Furthermore, thanks to the par-ticular location of lights, which are hidden from direct sight in adent between beams, dazzlement is avoided even when looking atthe source.

Different light spots are placed in the kitchen, the corridor, thebathroom, the working table, and the bedroom, where as on themezzanine lights are also put on the night tables.

The exterior artificial light design aims at two goals:

enlighten the way going in or out of the house,

create with a minimal energy consumption an architecturaleffect showing the project.

Calculations made with the lighting software Let There Be Lightby members of the team are reported in the next part of this para-graph (3). Input values, defined by the room dimensions and the

3.1.4 Concentrating photovoltaic shutters

estonyshin epresents novel concentrating photovoltaic shutters. Ev-ery shutter (105 cm 60 cm) is made in pinewood containingnew concentrating photovoltaic devices named luminescent solarconcentrator (LSC) inserted in conventional double glazing andplaced in the centre of the shutter.

LSC devices consist of transparent slabs (24 cm 49 cm) function-alized with luminescent materials with PV-cells connected to theperimeter of the slab. The luminescence centers absorb the sun-light incident on the face of the LSC, and isotropically emit lightat a slightly lower energy. The major part (> 75%) of the emittedlight is trapped inside the slab, and is guided to the silicon solarcells placed at the perimeter. The LSC devices is implemented ina double glazing.

Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) shutters are a very attrac-tive concept for a concentrating PV-module for numerous reasonsamong which:

energy production can take place at low costs (quantity ofsolar cells are strongly reduced);

LSC shutters operate both with direct and diffuse light, there-fore not needing expensive solar tracking devices;

only cold light will be collected by the PV-cells, resultingin higher PV efficiencies;

LSC shutters are highly building integrable concentratingPV-modules.
