title: The Performance House: A Cold Climate Challenge Home - Old Greenwich

description: Working with builder partners on test homes allows for vetting of whole-house building strategies to eliminate any potential unintended consequences prior to implementing these solution packages on a production scale. To support this research, the Consortium for Advanced Residential Buildings partnered with Preferred Builders Inc. on a high performance test home in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. The philosophy and science behind the 2,700 ft2 Performance House were based on the premise that homes should be safe, healthy, comfortable, durable, efficient, and adapt with the homeowners. The technologies and strategies used in the Performance House were not cutting-edge, but simply best practices practiced. The focus was on simplicity in construction, maintenance, and operation. When seeking a 30% source energy savings targets over a comparable 2009 International Energy Conservation Code-built home in the cold climate zone, nearly all components of a home must be optimized. Careful planning and design are critical. The Performance House demonstrates how a home can be designed and constructed in the cold climate zone to be energy efficient, low maintenance, sustainable, and comfortable. Lower price premiums are still needed for solutions such as ccSPF and light-emitting diodes, but this is anticipated as their market demand increases. For a solution package of this level to become commercially viable, there is still a need to improve the home appraisal process to better value the multiple benefits of a solution package of this type over standard builder practices.

title: New York State Energy Research and Development Authority Exterior Building Solutions To Insulation

description: TO4 8.2.2: Space Cond. for Deep Energy Retrofits The purpose of this project for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is to find new or improved strategies for exterior building solutions in regard to insulation that will provide extensive energy-savings benefits for homeowners. Deep energy retrofits (DER) is one of the solutions. In the past, DERs have been expensive and hard for the average homeowner to budget. The DER solutions that IBACOS and GreenHomes America (GHA) are proposing will be market friendly, affordable, and easily repeatable. The insulation strategies that will be used on nine test homes include the following: - Rigid foam insulation - Four homes will have approximate center-of-wall R-values of R-28, including furring strips for siding, with additional systems approach work to supply the complete integrated DER solution. - Spray foam insulation - Four homes will have approximate center-of-wall R-values of R-30, with additional systems approach work to supply the complete integrated DER solution. - HPwES upgrade - One home will include criteria from the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR (HPwES) program, including dense pack walls and window upgrades for this retrofit strategy. In addition to the insulation, the strategies will include treatment where needed in the attic, mechanical systems, ventilation and basement band joist, walls, and floors.

title: NorthernSTAR Project Overcoat: Exterior Insulation Strategies for 1.5-Story Roof Applications in Cold Climates

description: This is a repository for all NorthernSTAR Overcoat insulation retrofit projects. Both houses received Overcoat insulation retrofit on roof only, performed by Cocoon Insulation. 1 - St. Louis Park house - St. Louis Park, MN 2 - Edina house - Edina, MN In this second study, the team wished to analyze the before and after air-tightness data from roof only ETMMS retrofits on 1.5-story homes in cold and very cold climates. To identify homes to analyze, we reached out to our national network of energy professionals, home performance contractors, and general contractors who had expressed interest in promoting roof-only External Thermal Moisture Management System (ETMMS) to clients. Five projects by three contractors were submitted for consideration as they were being done to mitigate severe ice dams for homeowners. Only two of the five projects followed a roof only ETMMS protocol. Data from the other three projects, however, were reviewed with the air-tightness data of 250 roof-only, interior-applied energy retrofits on 1.5-story homes provided by three NorthernSTAR industry partners. These data represent homes in the general market as well as homes that were part of the state of Minnesota weatherization program.

title: Excavationless Exterior Foundation Insulation Field Study - Minnesota

description: The NorthernSTAR Building America Partnership team implemented an innovative, minimally invasive foundation insulation upgrade technique on an existing home. The approach consisted of using hydrovac excavation technology combined with a liquid insulating foam. Two houses were originally selected for this field study. One was not ready for retrofit at the time of study and had to be eliminated. The collaborative nature of the one field installation, however, enabled the team to advance the methodology as the work progressed. Improvements to the method of installation and reduction of costs were developed on site. This is a repository for all "excavationless" foundation insulation retrofit projects performed by the NorthernSTAR research team. Minneapolis, MN 55411 - Test house for first NorthernSTAR excavationless foundation insulation retrofit.

title: NorthernSTAR 1.5-Story Demonstration House of Cold Climate Solutions for Affordable Housing

description: This is a NorthernSTAR renovation project for Urban Homeworks incorporating installation of a combination space and water heater, Overcoat insulation retrofit on the roof, and Excavationless foundation insulation retrofit. STRUCTURE - 1401 North 16th Ave Minneapolis, MN 55411 Various groups from the affordable housing industry have consulted with the University of Minnesota's Cold Climate Housing Program to solve persistent energy and health-related problems such as ice dams, high energy bills, and mold/moisture issues-especially in complicated house types such as 1.5-story homes in cold climates. The NorthernSTAR Building America Partnership has completed multiple research projects on high-performance measures applied during renovation of single-family homes that could help the affordable housing industry address performance concerns. This demonstration project is an example of three high-performance measures applied to one house in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The selected vacant home was completely renovated by Urban Homeworks (UHW), which is a nonprofit housing partner, with the intent of selling the home to a low-income family. The renovation included the addition of the three advanced-performance technologies that were applied to the overall scope of the project. Single-family homes in urban areas that are available for renovation by nonprofit developers are often in need of repair. Budgeting has historically focused on improving homes to meet basic housing standards. A rising interest in the long-term impact of homeownership has introduced the need to balance basic needs with home performance. The goal of this demonstration project was to help UHW and other nonprofit developers become familiar with three U.S. Department of Energy Building America performance measures-including the installation processes, impacts, and benefits of each. To maximize efficiency of application and to address budget issues, the NorthernSTAR team worked with UHW to identify ways to use volunteers and construction training programs to install the measures. An open invitation to visit the job site was provided to other nonprofit developers and support teams to encourage dialog about the systems during live installation.

title: National Renewable Energy Laboratory/Habitat for Humanity Zero Energy Home: A Cold Climate Case Study for Affordable Zero Energy Homes

description: The design of this 1,280-square-foot, three-bedroom Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver zero energy home carefully combines envelope efficiency, efficient equipment, appliances and lighting, and passive and active solar features to reach the zero energy goal. The home was designed with an early version (July 22, 2004) of the BEOpt building optimization software; DOE2 and TRNSYS were used to perform additional analysis. This engineering approach was tempered by regular discussions with Habitat construction staff and volunteers. These discussions weighed the applicability of the optimized solutions to the special needs and economics of a Habitat house, moving the design toward simple, easily maintained mechanical systems and volunteer-friendly construction techniques. A data acquisition system was installed in the completed home to monitor its performance. The home's energy performance was monitored for 10 years. A comprehensive report on the home was done after the first 2 years of monitoring and a follow-up ACEEE paper on the project including 10 years of performance data was presented in 2016.

title: Modular Zero Energy Ready Homes: Bright Built - Maine

description: Kaplan Thompson Architects (KTA) has specialized in sustainable, energy-efficient buildings, and they have designed several custom, zero-energy homes in New England. These zero-energy projects have generally been high-end, custom homes with budgets that could accommodate advanced energy systems. In an attempt to make zero energy homes more affordable and accessible to a larger demographic, KTA explored modular construction as way to provide high-quality homes at lower costs. In mid-2013, KTA formalized this concept when they launched BrightBuilt Home (BBH). The BBH mission is to offer "a line of architect-designed, high-performance homes that are priced to offer substantial savings off the lifetime cost of a typical home and can be delivered in less time." For the past two years, CARB has worked with BBH and Keiser Homes (the primary modular manufacturer for BBH) to discuss challenges related to wall systems, HVAC, and quality control. In Spring of 2014, CARB and BBH began looking in detail on a home to be built in Lincolnville, ME by Black Bros. Builders. This report details the solution package specified for this modular plan and the challenges that arose during the project.

title: Advancing Replicable Solutions for High-Performance Homes in the Southeast - JMC - Patrick Square

description: The work presented in this report advances the goals of the U.S. Department of Energy Building America program by improving the energy peformance of affordable and market-rate housing. Southface Energy Institute (Southface), part of the U.S. Department of Energy Building America research team Partnership for Home Innovation, worked with owners and builders with various market constraints and ultimate goals for three projects in three climate zones (CZs): Savannah Gardens in Savannah, Georgia (CZ 2); JMC Patrick Square in Clemson, South Carolina (CZ 3); and LaFayette in LaFayette, Georgia (CZ 4). This report documents the design process, computational energy modeling, construction, envelope performance metrics, long-term monitoring results, and successes and failures of the design and execution of these highperformance homes. The JMC Patrick Square project is a single floor with 1,828 ft2 of conditioned living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage. This small-scale production builder wanted to increase its level of energy efficiency beyond its current green building practices, including bringing ducts into conditioned space. The team met this goal through a combination of upgrade measures and achieved many Zero Energy Ready Home program requirements. Monitoring the four ducted HPWHs in LaFayette and one in Savannah revealed that HPWH exhaust air impacts attic air during HPWH runtime only, and attic conditions return to previous levels shortly after the HPWH turns off. The HPWH did not appear to impact the loads on the heating and cooling systems, which were also placed in the attic. HPWHs should not be considered dehumidifiers if one is needed in an attic or basement/crawlspace. Ducting the HPWHs did not negatively impact performance compared to other published data of field performance. Changing duct configurations also did not alter the coefficient of performance. HPWHs in efficiency mode (heat pump only) could satisfy hot water demand for most residents. This mode maximizes energy efficiency. Adding .5 in. of insulated sheathing using the Huber ZIP System R Sheathing reduced peak summer temperatures and increased minimum winter temperatures inside the wall assemblies compared to the neighboring home. The neighboring home experienced significantly more risk of condensation and failed the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc., Standard 160-2009: Criteria for Moisture-Control Design Analysis in Buildings. Despite the fact that energy modeling predicted only a 2% annual savings from the insulated sheathing, preliminary data indicate that reduced heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning runtimes and energy consumption attributed to this measure provide significantly greater savings. Additional research is necessary.

title: Modeled Performance of the Hathaway Solar Patriot house - Washington D.C

description: This Dataset contains field research raw data, analysis spreadsheet, photos, and final report from the Hathaway Solar Patriot House Building America Case Study project. This dataset details the monitored and modeled performance of a solar home outside of Washington, D.C. We modeled the home energy performance using DOE 2.2, performed numerous short-terms tests on the home, and monitored its occupied performance for 29 months. The home used modular construction, solar water heating, a ground-coupled heat pump, efficient appliances, and compact fluorescent lighting to reduce its energy consumption by 35% compared to the Building America research benchmark home. The addition of 6kW of photovoltaics (PV) increased the savings to 67% compared to the Building America research benchmark. A more efficient shell to reduce space conditioning loads would have brought the home closer to its zero energy goals. However, even with efficient lighting and appliances, the lights, appliance and plug loads were a significant energy consumer. About 4 kW of PV was required to meet the needs of these loads alone. To achieve the zero energy goal with no further efficiency increases, the Hathaway house would need about 2.6 kW of PV in addition to the 6.0 kW it now has. Applying advanced efficiency measures available or being developed, such as heat-recovery ventilation, superinsulation, and electrochromic windows, could reduce the heating, cooling, and domestic hot water (DHW) energy use to less than 1700 kWh per year, an 88% reduction in these loads from the Building America Benchmark. At this efficiency level, the appliance and plug loads come to dominate energy consumption and account for nearly 70% of the total energy use. This analysis points out that even with highly effective energy-savings technologies (pushed beyond levels currently practical), whole-house energy use reduction by efficiency measures is only about 60% without also reducing the energy use of appliances and plug loads largely considered outside the designers jurisdiction.

title: Greenbelt Homes Pilot Program: Summary of Building Envelope Retrofits, Planned HVAC Equipment Upgrades, and Energy Savings

description: In fall 2010, Greenbelt Homes, Inc. (GHI) a 1,566-home cooperative of circa 1930-1940 homes in Greenbelt, Maryland, undertook a multiyear pilot energy efficiency retrofit project. GHI established this pilot project as a basis for decision making for the rollout of a decade-long community-wide upgrade program that will incorporate energy-efficiency improvements to the building envelopes and mechanical equipment. The community upgrade is fully funded by the cooperative through its membership with no outside subsidies. This project thus presents a unique opportunity to evaluate and prioritize the wide range of benefits of high-performance retrofits based on member experience with and acceptance of the retrofit measures implemented during the pilot project. Addressing the complex interactions between benefits, tradeoffs, construction methods, project management implications, realistic upfront costs, financing, and other considerations provides a case study for energy retrofit projects to include high-performance technologies based on the long-term value to the homeowner.
