Performance Evaluation of a Hot-Humid Climate Community
Project Home Again is a development in New Orleans, LA created to provide new homes to victims of Hurricane Katrina. Building Science Corporation acted as a consultant for the project, advocating design strategies for durability, flood resistance, occupant comfort, and low energy use while maintaining cost effectiveness. These techniques include the use of high density spray foam insulation, LoE3glazing, and supplemental dehumidification to maintain comfortable humidity levels without unnecessary cooling.
