- 68. Guiding Principles: Staged Approach to 1) Start with the end in mind. Avoid creating barriers for future phases. 2) Make a value proposition. Embrace non-energy impacts. 3) Do no harm – Recognize hazards upfront. 4) The house is a system; recognize the potential for well- intended actions to yield unanticipated side effects. 5) Consider creative approaches such as equipment leases for transitional equipment or components. 6) Do each step right and comprehensively the first time. 7) Consider clusters of work by trade in order to reduce transaction costs.

- What many people don’t know is that buildings, both comm and res, use more energy and contribute more to greenhouse gas emissions, than the transporation sector or even industry. Building, collectively, are big polluters and a big problem. Figuring out our energy and climate future means addressing the building energy problem.\n

Building, collectively, are big polluters and a big problem. Figuring out our energy and climate future means addressing the building energy problem.\n
- \n
- but we can’t build our way out of this problem--even if new construction were net zero or better--houses that actually produce more than they use like BBB, we’re not doing that. The sad fact is that 98% of the new homes we’re building are eligible for an energy upgrade on the day they’re first occupied.\n
- \n
- Even if we could correct the sorry state of how we build homes today, so that every new building was net zero, it would still only make a dent in the overall energy use of housing because of the sheer size of existing housing stock--there are 124 million houses in the US. and of particular relevance to our story is that half of that number is older housing stock, built pre 1960 and the sector that is historically relevant.\n

- Good evening. It’s great to be here. What I’m going to tell you tonight is a story about a house. But it’s also a bigger story about buildings & energy, carbon, affordability, and whether we’re going to be resilient enough to cope with energy costs and a planet that might look very different than it does today. Of course, it’s also a story about choices. \n

- So a group of us--myself, FCS, the leading building scientists in N America--have set out to show how it can be done on this handsome, lovely little house in Freeport ME by renovating this building as a deep energy retrofit. DER’s are ways of retrofitting buildings to achieve substantial energy reductions--not 20-30% weatherization projects, but deep reductions of 50-70% or better. \n
- first about this history--built by Edward Mallett Freeport industrialist, shoe magnate and philanthropist who built these Mallett Houses all across town. In a twist of irony, his shoe factory, shown here, is now the hideous freeport village station mall\n

- The deep energy retrofit thing. Deep means 50 70 90 . Superinsulation and airsealing for extreme tightness, mechanical ventilation. Not high tech equipment. \n
- But which way do you insulate? And where is the historic value? Going in has a cascading effect--stairs, walls, partitions, plaster, molding, doors. And it’s impractical for houses in which people live.\n
- \n
- What made me fall in love with this little house is the combination of simplicity with an attention to detail. Remember this is worker housing. All these lovely visual elements--mix of shingles clapboards, flair, spiderweb, porch struts, chimneys (that have no function), roof trim\n
- So our challenge as the dimenions of walls move out and roof moves up is to restore and retain the key visual elements--and resolve what happens to them proportionally. We’ve painstakingly figured this out, down to assuring the size of the trapezoid\n
- The real question given the lineup of these houses is the growth of them proportionality--the street in context--one of these is fatter than the other by 4.5 inches. Can you tell?\n
- \n
- superinsulation at a nominal R 40 makes for a great wall structure--2 layers, a moisture barrier inside, then cellulose in the existing wall davity. The cladding goes directly on the foam board w furring strips. \n
- context: part of the town’s community center, a public place, open building, and previously renovated.\n
