building code inspections: Energy efficiency - influence of design. Conservation HERS Rating - 04/21/10 08:44 AM
A Home Energy Rating System (HERS) is a simulation-based method for calculating a house's energy-efficiency rating score, predicting its annual energy bills,and generating a tailored list of cost-effective energy improvements. Little research has been done on the subject of HERS accuracy. Therefore, we sought to assess HERS accuracy by comparing ratings and actual utility billing data for about 500 houses supplied to us by HERS providers in four states. We found that HERS can be accurate, on average, at predicting annual energy cost. However, for individual houses, the agreement between predicted and actual energy costs was poor, i.e. some houses were … (0 comments)

building code inspections: Atlanta Homes/Accurate Home Inspection Atlanta - 05/27/08 02:29 PM
Homes being constructed today are more energy efficient than those built even just a few years ago, primarily due to significant improvements in building products and techniques as well as development of high-performance heating and cooling systems and other appliances. However, the benefits of foundation insulation are often overlooked. Heat loss from an uninsulated, conditioned basement may represent up to 50 percent of a home's total heat loss in a tightly sealed, well-insulated home. Foundation insulation is used primarily to reduce heating costs and has little or no benefit in lowering cooling costs. In addition to reducing heating costs, foundation insulation … (0 comments)
