    Designing & Building Home As System - Presentation Transcript

    1. Presented by Cheryl Lee C/L Design-Build, Inc. Designing & Building the Home as a System
    2. Designing & Building a Home as a System
      • WELCOME!
      • FACT: Buildings use close to half of the world’s energy production with many of our new buildings being no more efficient than those built more than a century ago.
      • Throughout this Expo, we will explore:
        • Site Planning
        • Building Envelope
        • Resource Efficiency
        • Energy Efficiency
        • Water Efficiency
        • Indoor Air Quality
    3. Designing & Building a Home as a System
    4. Designing & Building a Home as a System
      • Site Planning
        • Protect & enhance the natural features
        • Minimize soil disturbance & erosion
        • Manage storm water
        • Landscape for water & energy conservation
        • Consider solar orientation
    5. Designing & Building a Home as a System
      • Building Envelope
        • Foundations
          • Keep groundwater & water vapor out (water proofing; drainage)
          • Keep soil gases out (vapor retarder; sealing)
          • Keep heat in during winter (insulate)
        • Thermal Envelope/Exterior Wall Assembly
          • Airtight Construction
          • Moisture Management

    6. Designing & Building a Home as a System
    7. Designing & Building a Home as a System
      • Airtight Construction
