The Magazine Subscribe to Home Energy Back to Contents Page Home Energy Index ... EREN Home Page Home Energy Magazine Online January/February 1996 Duct Improvement in the Northwest Part I: New Construction and Retrofit by Ted Haskell Ted Haskell is an extension energy agent with the Oregon State University Extension Service. The Residential Construction Demonstration Program provides pointers on duct sealing methods and program design. I n the Northwest, energy losses in forced-air systems average 25%-30% in electrically heated homes, with some homes being significantly worse. This appears to be the case in other regions of the United States as well. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) created the Residential Construction Demonstration Program (RCDP) to test innovations in energy efficiency and evaluate their effectiveness. In 1994 RCDP turned its attention to forced-air distribution systems. Under the program, state energy offices in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington worked with BPA to recruit and train contractors to build tight new systems and to retrofit older ones. Researchers from the energy offices tested each of the 41 new houses and 25 retrofit houses for duct tightness and house operating pressures. This article summarizes the most valuable results and recommendations of these case studies. The details can be found in the

The Magazine Subscribe to Home Energy Back to Contents Page Home Energy Index ... EREN Home Page Home Energy Magazine Online January/February 1996 Duct Improvement in the Northwest Part II: Mobile Homes by Bruce Manclark and Bob Davis Bruce Manclark is president of Delta-T, an energy consulting and contracting firm in Eugene, Oregon. Bob Davis is a researcher at Ecotope, an energy research and consulting firm in Seattle, Washington. Drop lights, mirrors, pressure pans, and a willingness to get dirty are some of the prerequisites for successful duct repair in Northwest mobile homes. Ananda Hartzel seals the connection between a boot and a supply register in a manufactured house. A lthough the thermal shell of the typical mobile home has changed radically over the last 30 years, the air distribution system has not. The walls have gone from 2 x 2 framing with an R-4 fiberglass batt to 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls with a high-density R-21 batt (codes vary from state to state). The attics are now R-38 and the floors R-30. And the windows have a U-value of 0.4. Left off of this evolutionary train toward greater comfort and lower energy bills was the ductwork. Applying diagnostically based duct-sealing techniques to mobile homes and manufactured homes has produced some interesting findings and creative solutions to duct leakage problems. Researchers and practitioners throughout the country, including Rob DeSoto, Rick Hanger, John Krigger, Cal Steiner, and scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), have studied duct leakage problems and found ways to apply pressure diagnostic techniques in mobile homes.
