[WC][wc] + +# Home Performance Report + +Thank you for having us to your home for a home performance assessment. I hope that it was +beneficial. We learned a lot about your home and your goals during the brief visit. So, let’s jump +in to some of the things discovered. + +Below is a summary of your goals, house measurements, and our budget discussion as well as my +observations and some recommendations. As part of the service we ran load calculations that help +determine the right sized HVAC for your home as it stand and with some upgrades. Those are attached +as are bids for replacements. + +Once you read the report you’ll have 3 options: do nothing, pick and choose upgrades, or do more +planning for more difficult goals or complex projects. These options are discussed at the end of the +report as well as our leanings for your home. + +\goalsimage + +## Your goals: + + + + + + +1. Add air conditioning. + +# How Leaky Is Your House + + + +One of the main objectives was to perform a blower door test and load calculations for the home. We +discovered that the blower door number was 3,000 [CFM50] for the approximately +3,000 \squarefoot (1:1 [LAIR]). A leaky home, most often, is an +uncomfortable and uncontrollable home. + +> _Air leakage tends to have one of the largest impacts on the load of a home._ +> +> - _Around 1:1 homes begin to be more controllable / comfortable_ +> - _your home is 3,000:3,000 \squarefoot for a ratio of +> 1:1_ +> - _Leaky homes are very difficult to maintain comfort with HVAC alone._ + +# Observations + +The below sections are observations about the current HVAC system and the home. + +## HVAC Observations + + + +1. Current furnace is sized appropriately based on the load of the home. +1. Current duct system is not sized adequately for the system. + 1. Filter is too small for the system. + 1. Return sizing is not adequate. + 1. Supply sizing is marginal. + 1. Current static pressure is already high. + 1. These problems may become worse when AC is installed. + +## Home Observations + + + +1. The house leakage is high for the size of the home. +1. May be hard to control comfort without [shell] improvements. + +# Load Calculations + +Several [load-calculations][load-calculation] were performed on your home to determine the proper +equipment sizing for this application. Below is a comparison of the +[load-calculations][load-calculation] with the current air leakage and several improved air leakage +targets. + +## Your Loads + + + +| [CFM50] | | Heating Total | Cooling Total | [SHR] | [LAIR] | +| -------------------- | ----------- | ------------- | ------------- | -------- | ------------------- | +| **3,000** | **Current** | **55,102** | **20,726** | **0.79** | **1:1** | +| 2,000 | | 40,320 | 17,279 | 0.85 | 1.5:1 | +| 1,350 | | 35,885 | 16,245 | 0.88 | 1:1 | + +> **Note:** +> +> 1. _The lower the heating and cooling total's the better._ +> 1. _An undersized air conditioner is better than an oversized one._ +> 1. _Supplemental dehumidification may be required for [SHR]'s below 0.83._ + +The above table shows the relationship between air leakage and the amount of heating and cooling +that is required for the home. A tight home is easier to control the comfort levels, offers superior +IAQ levels, and lower utility costs. + + + +The projected cooling size required for your home is around 2-Tons for the current leakage rate, or +1.5-Tons if [shell] improvements were made. + +[Here is a link to your load calculation reports][loads-folder] + +# Airflow Assessment + +While on site, we also measured the total system airflow and static pressure of the system. Static +pressure is equivalent to the blood pressure of your system and gives us a better understanding of +the overall ability for the system to provide the proper amount of airflow, as well as how much it +may struggle to do so. + +Static pressure is the amount of resistance that the blower has to work against in order to move air +through the system. Things that have an effect on the static pressure of the system include, air +filters (size and type), duct sizes, amount of ducts, length of ducts, duct fittings and +transitions, as well as internal system components. Each component of the system has a resistance +associated with it that the blower has to overcome, by taking some key measurements we are able to +determine the [TESP] of the system. While there are several static pressures in the system, when we +talk about static pressure we are generally referring to [TESP]. + +Static pressure ([TESP]) has a range of _low_, _acceptable_, or _high_. While these numbers are +specific to the actual equipment, most manufacturers follow similar standards. For the sake of +simplicity, 0.5" [wc] or under is an _acceptable_ target, 0.8" [wc] is generally the max acceptable +static pressure (although we like to stay well below this if possible), and above 0.8" [wc] is +considered _high_ and should be addressed. _Low_ is generally not common and is rarely problematic, +so it is not focused on much. + + + +\newpage + +## Your Static Measurements + +![True Flow Report][trueflow-image]{ height=50% } + + + +The above image is a snapshot of the static pressures recorded for your system. This shows that the +static pressure of your system is very high (1.114" [wc]). The primary culprits for the high static +pressure are that the filter is undersized for the airflow required and the return duct sizing is +small. + +These measurements were taken in the heating mode because your system does not currently have air +conditioning. Currently the heating airflow is on the low side for what is required for your system +(1200 CFM would be ideal). This should be adjusted if possible during the install to get better +performance and efficiency out of the system, given that some static pressures can be improved +during the project. + +\ +\ + +[Here is a link to the full airflow report.][trueflow-file] + + + +\newpage + +## Static Measurements Forecast + +![True Flow Forecast][trueflow-forecast-image]{ height=50% } + + + +The above image is a snapshot is of a forecast of the static pressures after adding air +conditioning. It should be noted that these measurements are based solely on the airflow required +for cooling mode, not for heating mode (in other words, heating mode is going to be higher because +the airflow requirement is higher). + +This shows that with an upgraded filter we can get the static pressure below the 0.8" [wc] max +target while in cooling mode. + +\ +\ + +[Here is a link to the full forecast report.][trueflow-forecast-file] + +# Summary + +The purpose of the home performance assessment is to help find the overlap between the house needs, +the goals, and the budget to see if there's a viable project. + + + +The house is pretty leaky overall. This is due to the age and construction style of the house. This +may lead to comfort problems or trouble maintaining comfort in all areas of the house. + +Based on the [load calculations][load-calculation], the previously quoted systems are too large for +the current load, so we need to update the proposals to be for 2-Ton systems. This will help with +the fact that the static pressure of the system is already really high. The static pressure for +heating will likely still be above the 0.8" [wc] max threshold. + +An upgraded air filter is going to be required to help alleviate the blower motor. Another return +may be required in the living space to further drop the static pressure, however this could likely +be done in the future if desired. I would estimate that adding another return would be in the +**$800-1,200** range. + +While on site it was mentioned that you would like some of the ducts to be sealed that go to the +second floor. This is something that is not included in our general proposals. I would estimate this +to be an additional **$150-300** and will add options in the updated proposals. + +Since the goal is to add air conditioning, then I would recommend going with a 2-Ton system. If the +system does not maintain then you could look into [shell] improvements and air sealing the home. + +Regards, + +\ +\ +\ + +[Here is a link to all the documents][document-folder] + + + + +
