Observations on changing residential design conditions and recommendations for register assessment for the high-performance home.

Author(s) : HOLTON J. K.

Summary

Experience in the Building America Program with homes built to greatly improve thermal performance standards has revealed the shortcomings of using "old" HVAC system design and construction approaches on "new" houses. Field and test chamber investigations have detailed some of these deficiencies and have led to the formulation of a proposed assessment approach for residential registers. The fourteen elements of this approach should make a significant contribution to the development of high performance residential air distribution systems. It should also provide guidance for the development of appropriate performance parameters to be used in the design of such systems.
