Abstract

The Building America residential systems research project uses an analysis-based system research approach to (1) Identify research priorities, (2) Identify technology gaps and opportunities, (3) Establish a consistent basis to track research progress, (4) Increase the cost effectiveness of research investments by identifying system solutions that are most likely to succeed as the initial targets for residential system research projects. This report describes the technical approach used by Building America to determine the most cost effective pathways to achieve whole-house energy savings goals. The report provides an overview of design/technology strategies leading to net zero energy buildings as the basis for analysis of future residential system performance. The analysis approach is demonstrated by providing an initial comparison of the least-cost options required to achieve 40% energy savings in five climate zones. The preliminary results from this study will be validated against field studies and updated on an annual basis to reflect best available residential system cost/performance data from ongoing Building America research activities.

Building America Performance Analysis Procedures for Existing Homes

Technical Report Hendron, R

Because there are more than 101 million residential households in the United States today, it is not surprising that existing residential buildings represent an extremely large source of potential energy savings. Because thousands of these homes are renovated each year, Building America is investigating the best ways to make existing homes more energy-efficient, based on lessons learned from research in new homes. The Building America program is aiming for a 20%-30% reduction in energy use in existing homes by 2020. The strategy for the existing homes project of Building America is to establish technology pathways that reduce energy consumption cost-effectivelymore »« less

Building America Case Study: Indirect Solar Water Heating Systems in Single-Family Homes, Greenfield, Massachusetts

Program Document

Solar water heating systems are not new, but they have not become prevalent in most of the U.S. Most of the country is cold enough that indirect solar thermal systems are required for freeze protection, and average installed cost of these systems is $9,000 to $10,000 for typical systems on single-family homes. These costs can vary significantly in different markets and with different contractors, and federal and regional incentives can reduce these up-front costs by 50% or more. In western Massachusetts, an affordable housing developer built a community of 20 homes with a goal of approaching zero net energy consumption.more »« less
