The new, two-story portion of the building (a new library and science rooms with laboratories) was modeled using EE4 and DOE2.1e simulation software. Detailed hourly behaviour of the building helped simulation models provide valuable data, allowing designers to visualize overall operation, as well as analyze complex component interactions (e.g., cross-effects such as lighting equipment that contributes to heating in winter, but adds on to cooling

ecause of population growth on the south shore of Montreal, the Riverside School Board decided to add a building to St. Johns School, a moderate-size public elementary and high school. To create an
affordable and eco-friendly building, the design team used a solar wall, a geothermal system and heat recovery for the 9,000 ft2 (836 m2) expansion building.
loads in summer). The results helped evaluate foreseeable HVAC scenarios, compare expected energy consumptions and target energy-efficient systems that could not have been assessed with traditional methods. Simulations also gave data support to economic life-cycle analysis that helped reduce the risks associated with unconventional HVAC systems. Most schools in Quebec are heated by natural gas boilers and cooled using

standard rooftop units if cooled at all. Energy analysis helped determine that one of the most effective yet affordable systems for the building was a geothermal heat pump system with an electric boiler for back-up heating during heavy winter periods (Figure 1). About the Authors
Jean Molina, eng., is team leader and Chantale Bourdages, eng., is a mechanical engineer at Dessau in Montreal.
