Consider the Entire Package…
“HVAC and Building Shell Working Together”

1. Building Shell – (first priority)! Complete thermal & pressure boundaries
2. Mechanicals – (sized to building shell) Heating, air conditioning & duct systems
3. Ventilation – (controlled air leakage) Bath and kitchen exhaust Moisture source control 35 to 40% humidity in the winter
What Makes a Comfortable Home?

Thermal Bridging
Thermal bridging is conductive heat loss through a solid assembly with a temperature difference on each side causing heat to flow. House framing is a good example.

Fiberglass Batt Insulation
Fiberglass batt insulation is an air permeable insulation that must be installed in reasonable air tight vertical wall cavities to perform close to its advertised R-value.

Batt Insulation Installation
Voids mean less R-value!

Fiberglass Batts Not Installed Properly
Air permeable insulation be in full contact with the warm side of the drywall!

Damp Spray Cellulose – New Const.
Damp spray is a new construction application when the walls are open. Water is injected into the stream of cellulose as it comes out of the hose. Causing it to stick in the wall cavities.

Gap in Pressure Boundary
Air Leaks in through spaces between Drywall
and Top Plate Convective Loop occurs in wall cavity and warm air leaks out into attic carrying moisture
Electrical Penetrations from Basement
Dirty Insulation is a Tell Tale Sign of Air Leaks

Conductive Heat Loss in One Hour
Q = U x A x ΔT(U-value x Area x Temperature Difference)
Example: 1,200 sq/ft attic with an 8 sq/ft pull down ladder
(R50) .02 x 1,192 sq’ x 60º = 1,430 btu/hr (R.5) 2 x 8 sq/ft x 60º = 960 btu/hr Total heat loss 2,390 btu/hr
60% loss from ceiling 40% loss from pull down ladder!
