Approaches to 30% Energy Savings at the Community Scale in the Hot-Humid Climate
The Building America Partnership for Improved Residential Construction, formerly the Building America Industrialized Housing Partnership, has worked with several community-scale builders within the hot-humid climate zone to improve performance of production-, or community-scale, housing. Tommy Williams Homes (Gainesville, Florida), LifeStyle Homes (Melbourne, Florida), and Habitat for Humanity (various locations, Florida) have all been continuous partners of the Building America Program. The activities of these partners, described in this report, achieved the Building America goal of 30% whole-house source energy savings using packages adopted at the community scale. For new homes, the reference case is the B10 Benchmark, aligned with 2009 building codes.

This report documents barriers that builders overcame and the approaches they implemented to accomplish Building America Program goals that have not already been described in previous reports." }, { "@type": "dcat:Distribution", "title": "LifeStyle Homes Report Model.xml", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "text/xml", "description": "Lifestyle Home used for 30% reprot, BEOpt 2.1.0.2", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/4588/lifestyle.xml" }, { "@type": "dcat:Distribution", "title": "LifeStyle Model BA10 Benchmark.xml", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "text/xml", "description": "Lifestyle Homes BA10 Benchmark home", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/4588/lifestyle-b10-benchmark.xml" }, { "@type": "dcat:Distribution", "title": "Tommy Williams Homes Model with Attic Ducts.xml", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "text/xml", "description": "Tommy Williams Homes Beckton Model Homes with attic ducts and a run-time vent (typical for report time frame)", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/4588/twh-run-time.xml" }, { "@type": "dcat:Distribution", "title": "Tommy Williams Homes Model with ASHRAE.xml", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "text/xml", "description": "Tommy Williams Homes Beckton Model with attic ducts and 100% ASHREA 62.2 exhaust venting", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/4588/twh-exhaust-100ashrae.xml" }, { "@type": "dcat:Distribution", "title": "Tommy Williams Homes Model with Interior Ducts.xml", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "text/xml", "description": "Tommy Williams Homes Beckton Model with interior ducts and a run-time vent, as built 2013-14", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/4588/twh-run-time-and-interior-ducts.xml" }, { "@type": "dcat:Distribution", "title": "Tommy Williams Homes BA10 Benchmark Model.xml", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "text/xml", "description": "Tommy Williams Homes beckton Model BA10 benchmark file", "downloadURL": "https://data.openei.org/files/4588/twh-b10-benchmark.xml" } ] |
