A Low-Cost One-storey House Design for Energy Saving

Abstract

This is a low-cost house design study. It stresses occupants living in a comfortable zone all the time, having a better quality of life while reducing construction costs for those with low incomes through the use of energy conservation methods. into the major factors in house design to tackle environmental concerns and achieve a comfortable state

According to a survey of the literature, there have been research and development projects on energy-efficient homes. However, I have yet to research and design a home for low-income folks in the countryside. Ideal for starting a new job or establishing a family. There are two parents and one child among the residents. 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, a washing area, and a parking space make up the total useable area of 66 square meters.

The results showed that a house designed with smart board walls on two sides with insulation installed inside (light walls) with a coefficient of heat dissipation compared the variables of the amount of heat transferred into the building (Q value) by a house designed with smart board walls on two sides with insulation installed inside (light walls). Q = 5,397.5 Btu/h and brick-walled dwellings due to heat transmission through the material (U) = 0.0874 . A house with brick walls Smooth plaster on both sides with a value of U = 0.6907 , resulting in a value of Q = 14,777.70 Btu/h, As a result, the house design office generated up to 2.738 times more heat than the average dwelling, PE foam metal sheet roof with cotton gypsum board with U = 0.0487 (BTU/hr.ft2.°F), resulting in Q = 1,337.129 Btu. /h and double corrugated roof with cotton gypsum board with U = 0.121 , resulting in Q = 1906.806 Btu/h. The youngest is worth 1.426 times as much as the rest of the house, on April 15, 2022, with an indoor room temperature of 77°F (25°C) and a green glass cutoff light with a value of U = 0.121 , resulting in a value of Q = 1,906.806 Btu/h with a Peak Load value. of variables studied at the same time (8 p.m.) with an indoor room temperature of 77°F (25°C). The sum of the heat transfer coefficients of the building envelopes (values) differed from the two buildings being studied in a variable electric power reduction study. Between a brick-built house and a planned house, this resulted in a reduction of 5.975 times the electricity use. Air conditioning is required in the dwelling. accordance to the determined formula for the cooling load (Cooling Load) and the total building budget A total of 517,196.74 baht is spent on building materials and labor for the construction of a house. As a contract price per square meter of usable space, 7,836 baht less per square meter. Operating costs are not included in this price. with a total construction time of 48 days and a workforce of 9 people. (Day pay of 395 baht on average.)
