Abstract

TO4 3.1.3: Brookfield Homes Short-Term Results TO5 3.1.3: Brookfield Passive House Monitoring To further define its market position on high performance homebuilding, Brookfield worked with IBACOS and the Building America program to design and construct a Passive House (PH) certified model home in Denver, CO to evaluate advanced building technologies and to use as a marketing tool for potential homebuyers. Brookfield used a new architect and a new floor plan as a standard production model and constructed it to the PH standard as an upgrade option. This PH was completely built and certified in August 2013.

Brookfield Homes Passive House Performance Evaluation

Technical Report Herk, A. ; Poerschke, A. ; Beach, R.

In 2012-2013, IBACOS worked with a builder, Brookfield Homes in Denver, Colorado, to design and construct a Passive House certified model home. IBACOS used several modeling programs and calculation methods to complete the final design package along with Brookfield's architect KGA Studio. This design package included upgrades to the thermal enclosure, basement insulation, windows, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Short-term performance testing in the Passive House was done during construction and after construction. Testing with a blower door indicated that whole-building air leakage to the outside was 324 CFM and 0.60 ACH50. The other two test homes had littlemore »« less

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

Dataset Williamson, Jim ; Puttagunta, Sriknath ; Grab, J

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 practicesmore »« less
Evaluation of the Performance of Houses With and Without Supplemental Dehumidification in a Hot-Humid Climate

Dataset Kerrigan, Phil ; Norton, Paul

Understanding indoor humidity conditions in low energy homes in hot-humid climates is critical to promoting long term occupant comfort, indoor air quality and building durability. The results of this study were expected to inform the residential building community on whether supplemental dehumidification is a needed and effective investment to promote these long term standards. Data logging equipment was installed at eight test homes in July, 2012 and later at two more test homes in January, 2013. Interior conditions and various end-use loads were monitored until November 7th, 2013. The mechanical systems at each of the 10 homes were commissioned bymore »« less
Achieving Challenge Home in Affordable Housing in the Hot - Humid Climate

Dataset Beal, David ; McIlvaine, Janet ; Winter, Bruce ; ...

The Building America Partnership for Improved Residential Construction (BA-PIRC), one of the Building America research team leads, has partnered with two builders as they work through the Challenge Home certification process in one test home each. The builder partners participating in this cost-shared research are Southeast Volusia County Habitat for Humanity near Daytona, Florida and Manatee County Habitat for Humanity near Tampa, Florida. Both are affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International, a non-profit affordable housing organization. This research serves to identify viable technical pathways to meeting the CH criteria for other builders in the region. A further objective of thismore »« less
