Evaluation of Savings in Energy-Efficient Public Housing in the Pacific Northwest

Cascade Apartments: Deep Energy Multifamily Retrofit

“…The windows installed during this retrofit include trickle vents, due to code requirements (the ERV was not centrally ducted); observations from KCHA suggests that residents are not using them. This is not uncommon in Washington State, regardless of the necessity of inlet vents (Gordon, Lubliner, Michael, Howard, & Kunkle, 2013).…”

Efficient Multifamily Homes in a Hot-Humid Climate by Atlantic Housing Partners

“…This report demonstrates achievement of these goals by documenting efficient multifamily housing that is built cost effectively and on a large scale. While BA has conducted similar efforts for attached housing in hot-dry (Dakin, 2012), cold (Aldrich, 2012), and marine (Gordon, 2012) climates, little work has been done to demonstrate achievement of BA goals in this housing sector in hot-humid climates. The report presents results of energy modeling that document typical performance of the specification package, along with Home Energy Rating System (HERS) ratings conducted on a large scale to show consistency of application.…”
