Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

The key objective of this exploratory study was to investigate the feasibility of the development or adoption of technologies that would enable a large percentage of existing homes in cold climates to apply a combination 'excavationless' soil removal process with appropriate insulation and water management on the exterior of existing foundations at a low cost. Our approach was to explore existingexcavation and material technologies and systems to discover whether potential successful combinations existed.
