Task 14 - Measurement and Verification of High Performance/Zero Energy Residential Building Technologies in Cold Climates

This Task builds upon results of Task 4 High Performance/Zero Energy Residential Buildings In Cold Climates.  In Task 4 a portfolio of technologies that cut in half the annual energy consumption of a typical new residence in the Frostbelt, i.e., the Midwest and Northeast Census Regions, was identified, analyzed and ranked according to their respective energy savings potential.  In Task 14, the identified technologies will be incorporated into two new homes, where their performance will be measured and verified.  One home will be located in the Midwest (Illinois) and the other in the Northeast (New York).

This project is being executed by the Energy Resources Center (ERC) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).  The Principal Investigator is Douglas Kosar. 

This project is scheduled to start July 1, 2005 and be completed in 18 months.
