To develop an effective heat loss calculator, that incorporates fluctuating temperature & insulation R values to help reduce fuel use
Buildings consume approximately 40% of the energy used every year. Careful thought must be taken when designing the building envelope to ensure that heat loss is minimal. Current software can be off as much as 200 percent. This calculator will be used to demonstrate to the building designer the effect of temperature and change in R value over the course of the year.
You can see from the graphic above, that out of the 40% energy consumption....heating and cooling are the biggest loads acting on the building.
This software will be freeware to promote building energy efficiency!
Sorry there is no video. However more relevant and public information can be found here http://www.buildingscience.com/documents/information-sheets/info-502-temperature-dependent-r-value/?searchterm=502
Together we can make buildings more energy efficient and less dependent on foreign oil!
Thank you, Rocky. Please do not hesitate to contact me for additional information.
Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
I have all the people in place. Just need the funding. Research has been collected on various insulation types and I understand how they perform under specific conditions. Gathered data will be uploaded into algorithms and converted into information that that the public can understand.
