Editor's Notes
So, what is ENERGY STAR for homes? First, it’s voluntary and administered by EPA. Thus, builders are not forced to label their homes and would only choose to partner with EPA if ENERGY STAR helps them meet their business objectives. With widely varying codes, climates and building practices, truly energy efficiency performance is a difficult attribute to define. For ENERGY STAR, it is most commonly 30 percent or greater energy efficiency than the national Model Energy Code (MEC). However, some states already have very rigorous codes that may approximate or exceed 30 percent greater efficiency than MEC. In these states, ENERGY STAR maintains its brand promise of substantially more efficient performance than code by also requiring at least 15 percent greater energy efficiency than the prevailing state energy code. Lastly, ENERGY STAR establishes credible performance with strong technical specifications and third party verification. Typically, this verification is provided by Home Energy Rating System (HERS) raters and/or providers who are overseen by a national organization called RESNET. For detailed information about the HERS rating system, visit the RESNET web site at www.natresnet.org.
Cracks around windows and doors must be effectively sealed. This is because they are built with a rough framed opening leaving a large air space on all sides that must be sealed to avoid infiltration. This is an infrared image taken of the front of a home in winter. Blue indicates cold temperature where less heat is escaping from indoors, and green and black indicate hotter temperatures where heat is escaping from indoors. Based on this image, there are high thermal losses from the windows and doors as would be expected due to their much lower R-value compared to an insulated wall. However, also note the thermal losses from the cracks and framing around the windows and doors. There are also excessive losses around at the framed box openings for exterior lights. Affordable homes are built much tighter than this for little extra cost with profound improvements in energy bills, comfort and indoor air quality.
SEER 12 equipment has often been found to be no better than SEER 7.5. This graph is used to help the class to understand the affect of each measure on systems in place in the field. This graph also helps see the priority for bringing a company to excellent installation practice.
