With the support of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Building America Program, Home Innovation Research Labs partnered with Lancaster County Career and Technology Center (LCCTC) to build a third new construction test house (NCTH) in Apprentice Green, a community next to the school in Mount Joy, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (International Energy Conservation Code [IECC] climate zone [CZ] 5A). The overall program goals for the NCTH research project: - Develop a design to achieve 40% whole-house energy savings over the Building America B10 benchmark (the B10 benchmark is equivalent to meeting the 2009 IECC). - DOE Challenge Home certification (DOE 2013). - Document and evaluate costs for efficiency measures. - National Green Building Standard gold level green certification (NGBS 2009).
