Title: Cold Climate Building Enclosure Solutions

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1068619· OSTI ID:1068619

This project investigates the energy performance and cost effectiveness of several state-of-the-art retrofit strategies that could be used in triple-deckers and colonial houses, common house types in New England. Several emerging building enclosure technologies were integrated, including high R-value aerogel and vacuum insulations, in forms that would be energy efficient, flexible for differentretrofit scenarios, durable, and potentially cost-competitive for deep energy retrofits.
