Session 5 Sustainable Residential Building Case Studies "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.” Abraham Maslow
• What makes a house sustainable in the US? • EPA Climate zone 4
• The building fabric • Non-monolithic walls
(“thin”, low-mass, layered walls)
• Insulation, air sealing
• Ventilation - “build tight, ventilate right”
• Dewpoint, vapor drive
• Simplest moves are often the most effective
