My friend Sean came over to visit and take a look at the house. He also happens to be a HERS rater. This means that he analyzes house energy efficiency. It just so happened that he had his testing equipment and offered to run the test for us.
He explained that most houses had a score in the 3000's and he and his company can improve that score to about 2500. (Lower is better)
When he ran the test it came back at 1300, one of the tightest, efficient, houses he has seen. WOOT!
To read this chart follow the first line across the top (cfm at 50Pa) and you can see that we are well below the "tight" category. It really seems that our research and hard work is paying off. We are so excited.
In other news, Tim, our plumber finished today and everything is working great!
Well, we hope to have our CO this week, and move in next week. Wow.
Thanks for reading!
This is whole project is REALLY exciting. I am happy for the whole Norman family.
ReplyDeleteSam and Teri, What a testimony to all the research and hard work you put into building a "green" house. You have every reason to be excited and proud.
