If inappropriate building techniques or materials are used, a house could be uncomfortable, energy inefficient, or, worst of all, subject to early failure. Overbuilding is inappropriate, too, because it wastes valuable materials. For the purposes of this book, cold climates include New England, the southern Great Lakes states, most of the Midwest, Plains, and Mountain states, coastal British Columbia, and southern Ontario. Mixed climates include the coastal Pacific Northwest and the Southern states from central Texas to the Atlantic (excluding Florida and the southernmost portions of other states). Both titles are remarkably similar--only those details that apply to a particular climate differ. Each area or system of a house is covered--foundations, framing, plumbing, electricity, insulation, heating, ventilation and air conditioning--with profuse illustrations (more than half of the book) supplementing the brief text. Appendixes cover many aspects of energy efficiency. Although they are over the heads of most do-it-yourselfers, these guides will prove useful to builders and carpenters who live in the relevant areas (one hopes that all of North America will eventually covered). They should be included in comprehensive public library collections. -Jonathan Hershey; Akron-Summit Cty.

Claude Lambert 5.0 out of 5 stars It does not tell you just how to build (I am not a builder, I don't need to know that) but why we should make this or that choice in our kind of climate, such as Florida and Georgia. Home owners should know what to look for. Why? Because there are plenty of good builders, but they all belong to different schools of belief and if you want what is best on the market today, you need to be able to ask questions. The best building methods for a certain climate are not always at our disposal: construction methods evolve slowly (it is a bit like education: it takes a lot of effort to change anything in a school!). This is a great book to help us ask questions and make good choices.For too long buildings have been built the same old untested and unproven way. It is more important now than ever that we use building science to improve homes and other buildings for energy efficiency, comfort and safety. Efficiency begns with the design, starting with the foundation and working on up the walls and topping it all off with the proper roof. I used his book written for mixed climates when building my home in Iowa. Now I look forward to using this hot and humid climate book to build in Nevada.The illustrations are easy to follow. Exactly the detailed information I need as I develop the blueprints for the house I'm building. He is a proponent of understanding the concepts that allow older buildings to survive over time in harsh climates — and mimicking those concepts with contemporary construction.Please help by adding reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful.After graduating he became president of Inertia Development Corporation, a company that built and tested twenty low-energy houses.He also briefly worked in the commercial construction industry as a senior engineer for Trow in Toronto.Lstiburek writes regularly for industry publications and has published a number of books.Joseph Lstiburek. 2008.

Concrete will always crack. Reinforcing concrete will not prevent it from cracking.This is true for masonry and brick, only more so. Concrete moves. Masonry moves, brick moves. Let them move..Wood has always moved and will always move. Nailing wood, screwing wood and gluing wood will not prevent it from moving. It is not possible to build a wood wall, floor, roof, or foundation and not have it move. Writer is not only profusely knowledgeable, his dry, realistic approach to writing and problem-solving is enjoyable to read. But no! Writer seems to address timeless problems of moisture control, freeze heaving, heat loss, ventilation, materials limitations, etc with enough detail of the physics of the problems to see how to solve them, but leaving room for new technologies, building materials or twists you might want to add. Once you understand the principles and problems, there's room for new technologies. Written in understandable layman terms. As an example, you don't have to be an HVAC tech to understand the physical principles of the problems and the nature of the solutions presented for HVAC in this book.

Historically, the focus has been on buildings with heavy heating needs, not cooling.They recognized the need for an annual event to broaden the reach of their work, and bring together professionals in similar climates for a shared exchange of ideas and learning. The first Humid Climate Conference was held in 2016, and is rapidly becoming a notable event in the building industry.

Builders really have to understand the particular climate they’re working with in order to follow good building science principles. At that time, ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) used 38 different climate groupings, while the IECC used 33 different zones based on county boundaries. That’s a lot of climate chaos. The Energy Vanguard Blog has an excellent piece by building science expert Allison Bailes III, that dives deeper into temperature and moisture divisions. Energy-Star and Zero-Energy Ready are just a a few of their recognizable efforts in place and on track to meet significant goals by 2020. As builders improve thermal envelope systems of today’s houses, heating and cooling sizing and design become even more important. What is the advantage of having a well insulated and air sealed home when HVAC sizing and design is ignored. A house should function as a system with all components working together to achieve ultimate efficiency and performance. Although heating and cooling have different characteristics than the thermal envelope, they both should work together to improve the overall performance and comfort of homes built today. This is by far the largest energy load; the next closest would be water heating at around 16. So as we are focusing so much attention on the thermal envelope by upgrading insulation, windows, air sealing, strategic framing etc., why does HVAC sizing and design seem to be ignored. A few reasons are fear of undersizing, the old rule of thumb “We have always done it that way”, outdated training and education, and substituting size for quality design and installation. Oversized air conditioners are still a huge culprit of bad HVAC design in mixed humid climates. Oversizing can lead to poor indoor air quality and comfort issues which can result in callbacks from customers or warranty related complaints, higher relative humidity, and higher operating costs due to increased cycling losses. How do we avoid oversizing of the heating and cooling system. The best practice is to have accurate load calculations completed using Manual J, Manual S, and Manual D software programs. Manual J calculates heating and cooling loads. More specifically, a Manual J determines how much heat a house loses in the winter and how much heat it gains in the summer. In the mixed humid climate of the Carolinas’, we are more concerned with proper cooling (or air conditioner) sizing. This means taking into account all the insulation specifications, window efficiencies, duct locations, orientation of the home, proper climate data based on location, house tightness, and accurate design temperatures. What good is an accurate load calculation if you do not take into account what is actually being installed. Properly sized heating and cooling systems save energy, which in turn lead to greater overall efficiencies of the mechanical units and the home itself. You could compare this to a car that looks awesome, but gets terrible gas mileage. It looks good on the outside, but once under the hood the overall efficiency and performance is terrible. You might purchase the top of the line furnace and air conditioner or heat pump, but if your ducts are not sealed correctly or your duct design is not accurate to produce the required airflows, what was the point. Once the proper amount of btu’s for the home cooling load is determined, the proper equipment can be selected using Manual S. This procedure allows HVAC designers to select the right equipment to meet the heating design load, sensible cooling, and latent cooling of a home. Sizing limits are set so equipment capacities will keep homeowners comfortable while preventing oversizing and warranty issues related to the HVAC system. The cooling capacity of the equipment selected while completing a Manual S design should not be more than 115 of the total cooling design load. Latent heat results from moisture held by the air. Your thermostat may show a 72 temperature, but you may still not feel comfortable because not enough latent heat gain is being removed from the area. The better the air conditioner is sized to meet the cooling load, the longer the unit will run on the hottest days creating greater optimal comfort for the homeowner over the life of the mechanical system. Manual D focuses on duct sizing and performance. Good duct design is needed for balanced airflow which is essential for the overall comfort of the occupants. A Manual D is the standard for sizing the supply and return ducts of an HVAC system. The main principle of a Manual D is to achieve a duct system which delivers the correct amount of airflow to each room against the friction rate created by the ducts and fittings with the static pressure available from the blower. This could be related to improper duct sizing. Properly sized ducts are important to maintain velocity and friction rate. Too high of a velocity can produce noise and comfort issues. Poor duct design can also lead to higher heating and cooling bills, longer run times of the system, inadequate air flow, moisture, and condensation issues. Instead of guessing at duct sizing, a Manual D allows installers to size ducts based on static pressure and friction rate.

In addition to expanding living space, courtyards provide shading and thermal mass to aid in natural cooling.In cold northern states, insulation is the top concern.In the South, vernacular building styles often include large overhangs.In the hot, humid South, shaded porches help keep homes comfortable.A Florida Keys home uses vertical design for natural cooling and sturdy concrete and steel to protect against ocean storms and hurricanes.In the Midwest, building strategies must address hot summers and cold winters.In the hot Southwest, thick adobe walls help keep heat out. This Kansas prairie home includes operable windows set high on the north side for natural ventilation. Southern windows are protected from hot summer sun by continuous louvers. A sod roof helps insulate.Honolulu isn’t unusual. Nationwide, we’ve divorced ourselves from the specifics of climate and place through massive consumption of fossil fuels. Furnaces and air conditioners keep us warm or cool as we forget the energy-saving role of building design itself. They looked to the sun for heat and light, augmenting it with fire. For cooling, they used shade, breezes and evaporation. This gave rise to regional styles as distinct as the Southwest’s adobe pueblos, the New England saltbox, the Southern dogtrot home and the Nebraska sod house. In broad terms, the continental United States has four basic climate regions: cold, hot dry, hot humid, and temperate mixed. The Southwest also has cold and wet seasons, and the cold northern Midwest has hot summers. If you design to meet the greatest climatic challenge, it will take less energy to address other challenges. Living near a large body of water, in a canyon, in dense forest or in hurricane country makes a difference. Current codes typically incorporate minimum energy-efficiency standards linked to local climate challenges.You need efficient heat sources, tight construction, thick insulation and solar heating. When you keep warm by preventing fresh air from entering the home, attention to indoor air quality is a must. This strategy involves three main components: south-facing glass to admit midday sun; interior thermal mass (stone, earth, concrete, brick, tile or thick plaster) to store solar heat; and insulation to retain the heat. The region’s traditionally thick-walled adobes were built to keep heat out. Natural cooling and passive solar heating work well in this climate. Place a misting hose, greenery or damp curtains between you and an incoming breeze. Climate-responsive design emphasizes shading and ventilation, supported by good insulation. The same shading and reflection techniques that help in a hot dry region apply here, with special care to invite cooling breezes. Traditional Southern buildings maximized natural ventilation. Make sure water vapor doesn’t condense on cold surfaces and get trapped in walls. ? Avoid vinyl wallpaper, which blocks moisture transfusion. All of the strategies mentioned above may be applicable at some point. A switch is anything that can be used in more than one position, offering different benefits. A retractable awning or operable shutters can be open or closed, depending on the season, and deciduous vines provide shade when you need it most. Try your search again or got back to the homepage.

Passive design — working with the climate, not against it — is an important component, as are energy efficient heating and cooling systems, and smart behaviour by the occupants. This rate could be cut to almost zero in new housing through sound climate responsive design and, indeed, should be our aspirational goal. Taking into account current consumer preferences and industry practices, halving the rate to 20 is a highly achievable in the short term. Designing for today’s climate is important; ensuring that those designs can be just as efficient after 30 years of climate change would certainly be desirable. With this shift, high levels of thermal performance are becoming increasingly valuable and the payback or amortisation period for thermal performance upgrades is diminishing rapidly. Use this overview, and the references to other articles, to access more detailed information as you proceed through the various stages of designing, purchasing or altering your home. The diagram below shows the various ways by which our bodies achieve this. Both are governed by the processes in the diagram but reach the brain and trigger responses by very different pathways. Both needs must be met before we feel truly comfortable. Although they are less effective physiologically, they trigger innate self-preservation responses that override our ability to perceive physical comfort. Until they are met, we don’t feel thermally comfortable and our behaviour can render the best of design solutions ineffective. Acclimatisation is a critical component of psychological comfort. In other words, failure to address psychological comfort can increase heating and cooling energy use by up to 50 (Australian Greenhouse Office 2005). High humidity levels reduce evaporation rates. When relative humidity exceeds 60, our ability to cool is greatly reduced. The greater the temperature difference, the more we radiate. While not our main means of losing heat, radiation rates are very important to our psychological perception of comfort. Conduction is most effective when we are inactive (e.g. sleeping) and is a particularly important component of psychological comfort. This generates body heat and has a short-term physiological effect but also triggers our deepest psychological discomfort warning mechanisms. Our first response is generally to insulate ourselves by putting on more clothes and sheltering from wind and draughts. These actions are effective because we generate most of the heat we require from within, and reducing heat loss makes body heat more effective. Our minds quickly decide whether the adjustment is adequate for thermal comfort. As with cooling, radiation is very important to our perception of comfort.Simply holding someone’s hand can create psychological thermal comfort though a small amount of conduction. We conduct to cool floors and from heated floors. Heated floors also provide radiant heat and raise air temperatures through conduction and convection. The more stars, the less heating or cooling energy is likely to be required to keep the occupants comfortable. The computer simulations take into account standard occupancy patterns, climate, season and envelope design but not psychological comfort. In warmer climates, these variables can account for more energy consumption during the life span of a home than the performance of the envelope. The rating is also based on the combined heating and cooling energy required over a year, but the proportions of heating and cooling required varies across climate zones. For that reason, both heating and cooling options are addressed in the overviews of climate responsive design strategies below. Each climate zone has distinctly different design and construction requirements. Within each main zone are many regional sub-zones determined by local geographic features including wind patterns and height above sea level. NatHERS identifies 69 of these sub-zones, which the BCA addresses and which can be called up by postcode. It is therefore imperative to use design strategies that reduce cooling energy use to achieve similar carbon reductions. For example, a 6 star house in Darwin uses more than double the energy of a 1 star house in Brisbane, and a 9 star house in Wyndham (WA Kimberley region) uses about the same as the Brisbane 1 star house. Each produces a very different solution that is often difficult to change in the future. Abundant air movement from fans, whirlybird ventilators, stack ventilation and cross-ventilation is essential. Both inward and outward condensation issues should be addressed. Consider sleep-out spaces. On difficult sites, try to take advantage of clear night skies and high solar incidence.
