General Description

Sample project is based upon an older style trailer located in Concord, NH. This 890 square foot trailer was built in 1970 and has had a wood frame sloped roof added. It employs the original furnace, minimal wall insulation, single pane windows and has recorded a blower door of 2000 CFM @ 50 Pa. A utility bill analysis has NOT been performed. The trailer employs no cooling system.

The thermostat is set to 62F as the occupied heating temperature and is set back to 58F for 12 hours per day (based upon homeowner interview).

Hot water is produced by an electric 30 gallon hot water heater. Appliances include an electric oven, range, and the original 1970 refrigerator.

Improvements modeled include: a high efficiency furnace replacement, air sealing, roof insulation upgrade, new windows, air sealing, a new propane-fired hot water heater and a health & safety improvement named "Flash patch roof".

Packages Include:

"Insulation and Air Sealing Only" – calculates the savings from targeted air sealing and dense packing the roof cavity insulation.

"All Measures"- Includes insulation, new furnace, window replacement, new propane-fired water heater, air sealing and flash patching of the roof (health & safety).

"All Measures Except Windows" – same as above except windows are not included in the package.
