24 The big question: How can we deliver high performance homes at a price point that is affordable to the general population, not just the select few? 24

25 The Design Team: Homeowner, Architect / designer, Energy consultant, Engineer, Builder / G.C., Subcontractors. 25

26 Design principles: Keep it simple, Invest in the envelope (air tightness, and high R-value), Keep mechanicals simple, South orientation, Broad side facing South, roof ridge running East to West to accommodate roof mounted PV, +/- 7% of finished floor area in South glazing high SHGC, Minimize other windows to the extent aesthetically possible, Keep bedrooms and living areas along the south side, Open floor plan. 26

27 South Elevation North Elevation East Elevation West Elevation 27

28 Site Plan Perfect South orientation 28

29 Floor plans Total 1,908 finished SF 1 st floor 29

30 Floor plans Total 1,908 finished SF 2 nd floor 30

31 Super-insulated Slab on grade, with radiant heat 31

32 Insulation/slab subgrade with high density XPS for bearing pads. 32

33 Two staggered layers of EPS insulation totaling R-30 sub-slab. Radiant slab for finished floor. 33

34 R-30 XPS slab edge insulation. Falls under the middle of the double stud wall. 34

35 Poured 5 slab with trowel finish 35

36 Diamond grinding the slab for a sands finish with some exposed aggregate 36

37 Cost effective, bullet proof, modern, finished floor option. Close up of exposed aggregate after first pass of diamond grinding 37

38 Double stud wall (both 2 x 4 ). Exterior load-bearing, interior non load-bearing. Total cavity depth = 12 38

39 Critical air sealing detail foundation wall to sheathing 39

40 Continuing the air sealing (high performance tape on Zip sheathing) 40

41 Top floor top plate connects double stud wall and extends inward 41

42 42

43 After the trusses are on, and the roof is shingled, osb sheathing is applied to the bottom cord of trusses and taped BEFORE the interior partitions are built. This completes the primary air barrier 43

44 Energy heel on roof trusses, with extended overhangs, and an incorporated walkway to better facilitate loose fill cellulose and air sealing. Walkway 18 energy heel 24 horizontal eaves for passive solar shading 44

45 Incorporated walkway in truss to better facilitate loose fill cellulose installation and air sealing. 45

46 Attic air sealing 46

47 Louvered vent / door for attic ventilation and access. 47

48 Windows: Earthwise Orion -Triple glazed, -Casement outswing, double hung, fixed, and awning. -Built by PVC Industries in Clifton Park NY, -U-factors from /-, -Selective coatings allow you to specify higher solar heat gain coefficient on South windows, -Very cost effective, $25.37 per square foot of RO (for this specific window order). 48

49 Simple sheetrock returns and 5/4 Maple sills Incorporate 4 flat casing with j-channel to receive siding 49

50 Blower door testing, shell only. After all mechanicals are roughed in, but before insulation and drywall 230 CFM (230CFM x 60 minutes = 13,800 cubic feet per hour) House total conditioned volume = 16,428 cubic feet 13,800 / 16,428 = 0.84 ACH 50 shell only 50

51 Pressurized smoke testing for any air sealing deficiencies 51

52 Net and dense packing with cellulose 52

53 Readout on dehumidifier no other heat in use, outdoor temp 10 F After insulating, we plugged in a dehumidifier The dehumidifier alone was enough to overheat the house, so the boiler/radiant slab did not run when the dehumidifier was in use. 53

54 54

55 Mechanicals Heating and on-demand hot water with Bosch condensing modulating natural gas boiler. Three zones: 1. Domestic hot water 2. Radiant 1 st floor slab with slab sensor t-stat 3. 2 nd floor high temp baseboard 55

56 Why natural gas heat? 56

57 57

58 Mechanicals - LUNOS e2 Ductless, simple, and highly efficient heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system Heat recovery efficiency: 90.6% 1. No plumbing / HVAC labor needed 2. Fast to install 4. Total materials cost for one house $2,

60 Current photo expected to be complete except finish site work by March 1 st. Call me if you want a tour when it is done

61 Costs to upgrade from EV Certified to High Performance Home 61

62 So what does this all cost? To create a level playing field and allow cost comparison with differing site specific costs I am excluding from the cost per square foot: Water source (well, or municipal hook-up), Septic or sewer, Power, phone, cable (other than an allowance for secondary service), Driveway beyond 60, Any permits, impact fees, allocation fees, Blasting, No import or export of fill, No imported top soil (assume it is all stockpiled on site and used at finish). 62

63 With the caveats on the prior slide this house is projected to cost: $ per square foot. So, at 1908 finished/conditioned square feet that equates to $258, included in this cost is an allowance for: general conditions/overhead and profit totaling 20% Total high performance home upgrades cost: $17, which equals 6.58% of the construction costs Kind of a no-brainer to go for the HPH upgrade! 63

64 If we switch the heating to air source heat pumps (2 mini-split heads) and use an efficient, well insulated, electric hot water heater that would drop construction costs by $5,100 to $253, ($132.75/square foot) It would also drop the high performance home upgrade cost by the same $5,100 to $11, In this scenario, the total high performance home upgrades represent ($11, / $253,243.20) = 4.70%. 64

65 A few nice to have items that ARE included in these costs: Upgraded kitchen cabinets with honed granite countertops, Central Vac, Attached 2-car garage (with 40 amp outlet for potential EV charging), Attic trusses above garage for cold storage and potential future finished area (accessed via insulated door in second floor hallway), 65

66 Garage attic trusses 66

67 Lessons learned how I plan to tweak design and specs moving forward- -Use more efficient exterior dimensions (i.e. increments of 4 or 8 ), -Do a better job of consolidating the plumbing fixtures. Reducing the hot water delivery time and volume, -We love the polished concrete floors, but the lack of a basement may reduce the pool of buyers, 67

68 Is a natural gas boiler & radiant slab a good choice for a high performance home? Pros: Cons: -Nice aesthetic (no visible heat source like a mini-split wall cassette), -Great dry heat during construction, -Nice to have the integrated on-demand hot water, -Natural gas is the least expensive fuel source at $15.04/MMBtu (as of Jan. 2016). -Fully distributed heating reduces the temp delta that point source heat has. -Much more efficient domestic hot water vs. ASHP hot water heater with net COP = 1.5 -Cannot provide air conditioning, -When the heat load is very small the slab temp is only a few degrees above room air temp, so it will not feel warm on bare feet, -Boiler, zone valves, circulator pumps, radiant tubing and labor is certainly more expensive than a couple of mini-split heads, -Potential solar gain in a heated charged slab could cause overheating (blinds would limit that), -You can t be site net zero burning fossil fuels. (Can t offset NG with PV). 68

69 Mechanically, on our next high performance home we would like to try: Heating: One mini-split air source heat pump per floor, with 2 nd floor t-stat in master bedroom (keep the boss happy), Hot water: We would like to try a small on-demand electric hot water heater and Manabloc distribution with 3/8 home run supplies in a tight/stacked plumbing fixture plan. This would be very cost effective and all electric. We don t like heat pump hot water heaters in small homes with no basement (noise and parasitic effect on heating system). HRV: LUNOS e2 Invest in the envelope, keep mechanicals as simple as possible! 69
