Site Handbook: Data Acquisition System Information, Saint Mary's Parish Gymnasium, Alexandria, Virginia

摘要

The Saint Mary's gym project is a new gymnasium and multi-purpose space which is an addition to an existing parochial school in Alexandria, Virginia. Energy saving strategies include: operable shading curtains for the clerestories; operable vents in the Trombe wall; daylighting; exhaust fans; and selfshading variable depth Trombe walls. Alexandria has 4211 heating degree days annually. Solar energy has been used in this building to heat the main space through direct and diffuse gain from roof light apertures. This energy is absorbed in a concrete slab floor of the gymnasium playing court. Space heating is also provided by solar through a radiant and vented Trombe wall. The ventilation system effectively destratifies air within the gymnasium space. Data were collected hourly. (ERA citation 10:027239)
