1 Construction Report NYSERDA Residential Performance Challenge WELYTOK TOWNHOMES October 2014 Submitted to: NYSERDA 17 Columbia Circle Albany, NY Submitted by: HOMEPIC Team CDH Energy Corp. PO Box 641 Cazenovia, NY And Syracuse Center of Excellence in Energy and Environmental Systems Camroden Associates
2 House Description Mark Welytok of New-Paradigm Developers plans to build nine (9) townhomes on the southern shore of Oneida Lake in the town of Chittenango, NY. Our team helped to develop an energy efficient design for these nine (9) units. The first four (4) units are scheduled for completion in The HomePIC project is supporting the improvements to these one of these first four units. These two-story units have a slab-on-grade foundation with 4 rigid foam under the poured concrete slab. The foundation footings use an Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) wall system that uses 2 of expanded polystyrene (EPS) on each side as forms for the footings. The exterior walls were designed with 2 of exterior rigid foam where possible, with 5½ closed cell spray foam in the framing in other areas. Build Site Figure 1.

3 Key construction details are summarized in the following Figures. Table 1 compares the originally proposed improvements to actual implemented features. Table 2 summarizes the costs of the implemented improvements. The floor plan is given below. DOWNSTAIRS UPSTAIRS Figure 3. Floor Plan for East-Side End Unit HomePIC Team 2 October 2014
4 Foundation The foundation construction details include the ICF foundation walls and 4 rigid foam under the concrete slab. The builder installed ½ PEX-Al-PEX tubing in the slab for future radiant floor heating. Figure 4 shows the ICF forms from Fox Blocks partially filled with concrete. Plastic clips inside the blocks maintain the spacing of the foam sides. Rebar is installed vertically and horizontally to provide additional strength. ICF Figure 4. ICF Foundation Walls Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the insulation under the concrete slab. Figure 5 shows the 4 foam board on top of the plastic vapor barrier. Figure 6 shows the installed ½ PEX-Al-PEX tubing for radiant heating on top of the 4 foam and steel reinforcement. HomePIC Team 3 October 2014

6 Exterior Walls and Framing The exterior walls have 2 rigid exterior foam with taped seams, spray foam, and other details. Figure 7 shows the 2 rigid foam being installed on the east wall of the structure. This foam was isocyanate panels recycled from a school roof. The foam seams were (supposed to be) sealed with tape for air tightening. Figure 8 shows the open cell spray foam in the exterior walls with exterior rigid foam. Exterior walls without exterior foam have closed cell spray foam installed to provide a thermal and vapor barrier. Figure 7.

7 Figure 9 shows the California corner stud arrangement used in the framing of the exterior walls. This configuration provides access to the end of the framed wall for good insulation with minimal thermal bridging. California Corner Figure 9. Typical California Corner Windows All windows are double hung, vinyl frame, triple glazed, argon filled, and dual low E coated. The U- Factor is 0.21 and the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is The window rough openings were extended with 2x4 s and ½ rigid foam to build out the opening to the same height as the exterior foam board. The window flanges were then nailed to the 2x4 with ½ foam. Figure 10. Window Specifications HomePIC Team 6 October 2014

12 Mechanical Systems The townhouse complex will not have natural gas. Therefore the space and water heating will be done with solar and electric systems. Each unit will have a separate solar hot water tank with electric backup. The tank will be connected to in-floor piping so that solar can also contribute to space heating. Space heating and cooling will be provided by a high performance heat pump such as a Mitsubishi Hyper-heat or Fijitsu RLS series unit. The unit should be a 2 or 2-½ ton unit with a concealed indoor fan unit, such as Mitsubishi Hyper Heat Pump PUZ-HA30NHA2 with PEAD-A30AA4 indoor unit shown below. Figure 18. High Performance Heat Pump With Concealed and Ducted Indoor Unit (from Mitsubishi) The indoor unit can be mounted above the washer/dryer in a drop ceiling with very limited ductwork runs (i.e, under 4 ft) to a few locations: 1. to lake-side master bedroom on the first floor 2. through the wall to main area on first floor 3. through the floor to floor vent in the upstairs loft 4. through the floor to a floor vent in the upstairs study A return grill would open to the main areas of the house. The remaining areas of the house (such as the front bedrooms #2 and #3) would have baseboard electric heat. About 6 kw of baseboard heat would be required. HomePIC Team 11 October 2014

15 Energy Performance The enegy use predicted by RemRate for the proposed house design is shown in Table 3. The RemRate model assumed an air-source heat pump with a heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) of 6.8 Btu/Wh (which equates to a seasonal COP of about 2). Table 3.
