Abstract

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 this research is to identify gaps and barriers in the marketplace related to product availability, labor force capability, code issues, cost effectiveness, and business case issues that hinder or prevent broader adoption on a production scale. The builder partners participating in this cost-shared research are Southeast Volusia County Habitat for Humanity (SEVHFH) near Daytona, Florida and Manatee County Habitat for Humanity (MCHFH) near Tampa, Florida. Both are affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI), a nonprofit affordable housing organization. Manatee Co Habitat for Humanity Challenge home - Ellenton, FL 34222 S.

Comfort in High-Performance Homes in a Hot-Humid Climate

Dataset Poerschke, Andrew ; Beach, Robert

TO5 2.3.2: Large-Scale Temperature Study Although space-conditioning systems are required to meet standards such as those in the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) Manual RS (Rutkowski 1997) and the ASHRAE Standard 55 (ASHRAE 2013) comfort criteria, little is known about how space-conditioning systems are actually operating in the field and if these systems are meeting those standards. Unconventional space-conditioning systems may be necessary for low-load homes in the future. It is important to know how current systems are functioning in existing homes and to what temperatures occupants typically set the thermostats in their homes.

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
