High Performance Residential Buildings
Sponsors: NCEMBT
In this first of a large series of UIC building
science projects being planned with NCEMBT, ERC is analyzing high
performance wall construction and ventilation systems for energy
efficient, airtight homes in collaboration with DOE’s Building
America (BA) Program. ERC is carrying out both computer simulations
of buildings as well as monitoring of test homes in conjunction
with BA consortiums, such as Steven Winter Associates (SWA) and
their Consortium for Advanced Residential Buildings (CARB). A workshop
on high performance walls involving experts from the building community
was held here on campus and cohosted with SWA.
