Stacey Rothgeb, E. Martin

Research output: NRELFact Sheet

Abstract

One of BA-PIRC's longtime Habitat for Humanity partners, S.E. Volusia CO (SEVHFH), was interested in building a home to the new Challenge Home standards. SEVHFH routinely builds ENERGY STAR V3.1 homes. The only modification to their design needed to comply with the Challenge Home criteria was the interior duct requirement. Unwilling to incur the added costs of a foam roof deck or wall heightsabove 8 feet to accommodate a fur-down chase SEVHFH opted to build a fur-up or raised ceiling chase.
