This paper discusses the envelope energy performance during thedevelopment stage for a Solar Decathlon prototype SLIDE-S (SustainableLivable Individually-customized Design) SLIDE-S is a 72 m2 residentialhouse. It runs on solar energy during the day, and the final energy balanceis zero. Inspired by the “Mashrabiya” in Islamic Cairo and theinterlocking pattern of stones, the main features of the house are theVoronoi pattern which composes the structure and screen and the movabledouble screen which ensures adequate daylight is permitted. The mainconfiguration of the house is its “matchbox” sliding configuration in whichpart of the screen moves out to allow direct light into the residential unit aswell as enlarge the space covered by the house. The aim of this paper is toinvestigate the strategies mentioned above and through a series ofsimulation experiments and to examine how effective they are to deliver azero-energy house. Using energy simulation, design recommendations areproposed to enhance the thermal performance of the skin and as a result,the overall design of the house.
