Description:

How tight is too tight? Are newer versions of the energy code creating unhealthy homes? These questions and more are addressed in an inter-active session that reviews current code requirements, ASHRAE standards and best practices for insuring healthy living spaces. Minimum ventilation rates, combustion air for appliances and fireplaces and radon mitigation have to be considered as part of a healthy home design. This workshop takes a "whole house" approach and offers common-sense, cost-effective solutions as well as new and emerging technologies.


This lecture will focus on the emerging trends from the 2018 survey as well as comparing and contrasting trends identified in the 2012 survey. Specifically, the data examined from the 2012 and 2018 survey focuses on climate region 1 & 2, more commonly known as 6B & 5B ASHRAE climate zones.
