Full Description

A wood-frame residence having only limited insulation in the attic was retrofitted in three stages to reduce its energy requirements for heating and cooling. The three retrofit stages comprised: reducing air leaks; adding storm windows; and installing insulation in the floor, ceiling, and walls. The house was extensively instrumented to evaluate energy savings and changes in air-infiltration rates.
