Energy-Saving Strategies You Can See
这是没有乐趣花钱的东西,你看不到。为了因此,一些绿色建筑商通过全面的给你他们的家园高墙内偷看‘解构’的模型来展示其节能的特点。
Homebuilders are finding that green homes, which save owners money in addition to helping the environment, are a powerful differentiator in today’s real estate market. However, buyers may be more motivated to invest in goods that they can actually see. Companies such as Central New York builder米勒公寓和Utah’sGarbett公寓使用解构模型显示准买家 - 以及建筑行业的专业人士和普通市民 - 位于其建筑物的墙壁内实际的可持续的产品。米勒公寓是从纽约州能源研究和发展管理局收紧围护结构提供赠款,以实现高性能的建筑实践,重点,然后与陶氏建筑应用和鼎晖能源合作,建立教育,解构双工。Garbett院也建造了几处解构模型接触到他们的目标市场,首次购房者。参考一Garbett解构模型,刘若英Oehlerking,在Garbett公寓营销总监说,“没有什么是嘲笑了。我们建立了家园,我们剥离了墙壁,基本上走的是家用的部分,剥离他们回来,使人们可以看到实际的应用。在我们的解构一切都是标准功能“。

The homes are laid out to encourage exploration. Finished, decorated areas – even closets with clothes hung inside – exist beside cutaway walls and ceilings. Each energy-saving device is clearly and simply labeled, making it easy to fully understand the features on display.
Garbett房屋使用家庭能源评级系统(她的),由住宅能源服务网络(RESNET)开发的,而不是LEED for Homes rating system,这Garbett认为更适合于商业建筑,更复杂。按照RESNET网站“的HERS指数是一个评分系统......在这家建于HERS参考首页的规格(基于2004年国际节能规范)的得分为100 HERS指数,而净零能在家得分为0的一个HERS指数降低房屋的得分,更节能的是相比于HERS参考主页。在HERS指数每1点减少相当于能耗降低1%相比,HERS参考主页“。Garbett目标为所有的家庭在40岁以下的得分在HERS指数。
Standard features that bring a home’s numbers into the HERS index 40 (and below) range –and which can be viewed in Garbett’s deconstructed models – include:
2×6个螺柱,相对于更传统的2×4个螺柱,让更多的绝缘可以装配到墙壁空腔;
24” 上中心帧技术(而不是典型的16” 上中心),这也允许更多绝缘;
Drywall clips in corners and intersections, which reduce thermal bridging and, again, allow room for extra insulation;
Blown-in fiber insulation in exterior walls;
超过20” 的吹入的绝缘安置在天花板,其中,大量的热损失通常发生;
Icynene® spray foam between joists;
Low-e windows;
可耐福保温EcoSeal™(水性密封胶),以实现更紧密的密封,进入狭小的空间;
Compact fluorescent bulbs; and
乳香密封管道(相对于导管录音的),以获得气密密封。
在Garbett舍等节能功能包括利用太阳能和地热能,即热式热水,滴灌,低流量管道设备。
Because Garbett Homes' target market is first-time home buyers, the company can show that the lower utility bills associated with buying green make owning a home cost about the same per month as renting. “Our buyers’ interest is huge. It’s absolutely mind-blowing for them. They are drawn in when see how they get smaller utility bills through lower HERS scores, increased insulation, tight air sealing, and other factors. We’re seeing them for the first time gravitating toward understanding what’s really in the home,” says Oehlerking.

里面的房屋米勒复式
米勒公寓ENERGYSTAR®额定复式坐落在纽约州锡拉丘兹细分,旨在保持开放在未来的四年中,作为建筑商,承包商,建筑师,学生的训练设施和公共功能。它分为两个部分;一边是普通的,完成的模型回家,另一个是剥夺显示结构组件和从陶氏建筑应用建筑围护结构的技术。绝缘和空气密封材料陶氏建筑应用和其他建筑产品制造商有机会在项目展示包括以下内容:
Styrofoam™ Tongue and Groove Insulation. The tongue and groove insulation was used not only on above-grade exterior walls and the unvented deck portion of the roof but, due to its high compressive strength, was used under the slab of the foundation.
Superior Walls Xi™ paneled basement walls.
泡沫塑料™挤塑聚苯乙烯(XPS)泡沫保温,沿地下室的墙壁上。
Styrofoam™ spray polyurethane foam insulation, applied from band joist to ceiling.
WEATHERMATE™ Plus flashing, sill pan, and construction tape and GREAT STUFF PRO™ window and door insulating foam sealant, used around window framing.
由于去年开业,米勒公寓复式已经收到了大量的游客,而举办教育和培训活动。据一份新闻稿中,“2.2万人的家园秋季游行期间参观了双面打印,以及道琼斯指数和米勒公寓已使用空间,因为再证明一个地方喷涂聚氨酯泡沫(SPF)的承包商,主机为雪城美国一个CEU课程(AIA)建筑师学会,并吸引学生来自纽约州立大学(SUNY)环境科学与林业(ESF)[学院]“。
利用样板房已得到了尝试和真正的销售设备数十年。通过增加这些家庭的范围,使他们成为教育工具,建筑商不仅能提高房屋的销售和市场推广价值,但提供所需推广的绿色建筑运动,以及。
