Abstract
|
The Greenbuilt house is an all-electric, 1980s era home in the eastern Sacramento suburb of Fair Oaks. It was retrofitted by Greenbuilt Construction as part of the Sacramento Municipal Utility Districts (SMUD) Energy Efficient Remodel Demonstration (EERD) program. The project was a joint effort between the design-build team at Greenbuilt Construction, led by Jim Bayless, Mike Keesee of SMUD, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The EERD program works with local builders to renovate homes with cost-effective energy-efficiency retrofit measures. The homes remodeled under this program are intended to showcase energy-efficient retrofit options for homeowners and other builders. The Greenbuilt house is one of five EERD projects that NREL has supported. NREL mainly provided energy analysis and monitored post-retrofit performance to verify that the energy consumption is in line with the modeling predictions. NREL also performed detailed monitoring on the more innovative equipment included in these remodels, such as an add-on heat pump water heater (HPWH).
