LEARNING FROM SMART HOUSE
How did we define our study?

September 2012:
Budget constraints - Design for addition deferred. Critical Stabilization required - masonry, windows & roof. Application of Passive House principles.
Students Mission Statement:

A living lab to study energy usage on a college campus. A test platform for sustainable technologies. Flexible, easily adaptable infrastructure. Monitor electrical, water and fuel usage. A house that could inform students and neighbors alike.

What were our opportunities?

Site Connecting to the Neighborhood thru demonstrations of sustainable site strategies. Interiors Imagining new, flexible ways of inhabiting a building and improving indoor air quality Enclosure How to improve the performance of a 100 year old building shell? Building Systems Understanding energy use and developing effective strategies for using less.

CLIMATE ZONE
GEOGRAPHIC AREA
The map indicates Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is located in the Mixed-Humid Zone, which is Climate Zone 4.
A mixed-humid climate region receives more

than 20 in. of annual precipitation And the average monthly outdoor temperature drops below 45 degrees F during winter months.

PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS
Super Insulation or Deep Energy Retrofit (DER)?
A Deep Energy Retrofit project upgrades an existing building with super insulation and other efficiency improvements. Very high levels of insulation (typically R40 walls and R60 roof R20 in the basement walls and R10 under the basement floor) There are a few key elements of super insulating a house: Super insulated buildings typically include:
High R-Value or Low Thermal Heat Loss Coefficient The heat loss through a regular construction is characterized by the thermal heat loss coefficient or U-value. Achieve R-Values of 22 60 on all external walls, slab foundation and roofs. Reducing Thermal Bridging Heat will flow through the path of least resistance such as wood, metal or certain foundation materials. Airtight Construction Airtight construction, especially around doors and windows Building an airtight thermal envelope is important for energy savings, humidity control and ensuring the longevity of the building structure.
High Efficiency Windows Windows must be extremely efficient as well to complement the super insulation. Recommend triple pane R5 Windows.
Air-tight construction - keep your cash from leaking thru your home. R-35 walls - Keep that cold out buildingscience.com) great building scientists R-50 Roof Keep that heat in. 12/10/12 - Drexel Smart House 2012
24
ENCLOSURE TEAM
Rock Wool + XPS (Extruded polystyrene)
Cannot absorb water so the R-value is not affected Stone wool is water repellent yet vapor permeable. Does not support mold or fungal growth
Fire Resistant
Stone wool can withstand temperatures up to 2150 F (1177 C). ASTM E136
Sound Absorption
The non-directional fiber orientation of the stone wool helps the absorption of acoustic waves.
Dimensional Stability
Stone wool retains its characteristics unaltered over time.
Joists or structural framing pocketed into the brick should be protected by
wrapping the end with bitumen flashing to stop it from soaking up water from the brick.

ENCLOSURE TEAM
VAPOR BARRIERS
FUNCTIONS OF VAPOR BARRIERS TYPICALLY A PLASTIC OR FOIL SHEET USED TO REDUCE THE RATE AT WHICH WATER VAPOR CAN MOVE THROUGH A SPACE RESIST DIFFUSION OF MOISTURE THROUGH WALLS, CEILING, AND FLOOR ASSEMBLIES
AIR BARRIERS
FUNCTIONS OF AIR BARRIERS SLOW THE MIGRATION OF AIR. CONTROL AIR LEAKAGE INTO AND OUT OF THE BUILDING ENVELOPE CREATE A SEALED BUILDING ENVELOPE APPROPRIATE AIR BARRIERS INCLUDE AVB MEMBRANES, GYPSUM BOARD, OSB, PLYWOOD
CRITICAL POINTS
AIR BARRIER MUST BE CONTINUOUS AND UNINTERRUPTED THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING ENVELOPE AND AT PENETRATIONS MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT LOCATION(S) WITHIN THE WALL ASSEMBLY

MECHANICAL DOWNSIZING: GREEN BENEFITS
A smart insulation plan will allow a much smaller than conventional heating system, sometimes just a small backup heater Smaller HVAC systems can actually provide greater comfort and lower the homeowner's energy costs. Keeps your cash from leaking thru your home. R- 22 - 35 walls - Keep that cold out R-60 Roof Keep that heat in.
Reducing the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions produced by buildings is fundamental to the effort to slow the pace of global climate change.

Our Goal
Our goal is to create an atmosphere which supports both the physical and mental health of the occupants, puts as little strain on the environment as possible and promotes the highest level of learning and the expression of ideas achievable.
Utilizing psychological principles of color and materials Using sustainably harvested, recycled and non-toxic materials Separating spaces by activity or task Providing areas or white boards to promote constant expression of ideas

Color Scheme
Mythic Paint Colors:
Kitchen/Dining Room - Red (Redwood) Increases appetite (although darker shades of reds can raise blood pressure) Bedrooms - Blue (Birch) Promotes calming and soothing emotions Work Spaces - Green (Granny Smith) Increases concentration
57
Color Choices
Mythic Paint is a
zero toxin paint ultra low odor paint durability and No off-gassing VOCs and cancer-causing toxins.
These two other possible colors (oranges) can be used as accent walls in rooms such as the work spaces or the entrance area. This splash of color promotes excitement or warmth in a space.
