Earlier this week the project team began a seasonal experiment to test the passive performance of the envelope to resist exterior temperatures fluctuations over the course of 72 hours (3 days). To complete this study, the heating and cooling systems are completely disabled for the duration of the period (though the ERV remains in operation to supply code required minimum ventilation).
Earlier forms of this same test have shown interesting returns, generally showing the envelope is able to maintain a steady temperature range. Observations from June remained outside of the comfort zone entirely, however, though night temperatures clearly dropped into the comfort range. Effort by the resident to purge warm interior air in the evenings could have altered this, though high humidities in the Southeast-US often negates such efforts.
We'll keep you posted as to what we find this time around!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI came across your site http://newnorrishouse.blogspot.com while searching Google for blogs talking about growing/gardening equipment and related keywords and was wondering if you'd be open to doing a sponsored blog post.
We have a site that growing/gardening equipment and are looking for more exposure online.
Our budget for this is initially $20 for the post and we would give you the blog post (gardening related & already written) as well as a picture to post. All you would have to do is post it.
Here's a sample post we did on another blog: http://homefurniturebiz.com/grow-lights/
We're really just testing out different bloggers, and if you bring some good traffic, we're totally open to doing an annual banner ad!
Also if you have some other blogs, please send them over and I'll take a look and we might be open to doing a post on those as well!
Let me know if you'd be open to this!
Regards,
Vanessa
