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] - - - - - -[CFM50]: #cfm50-definition "CFM50" -[IAQ]: #iaq-definition "IAQ" -[LAIR]: #lair-definition "LAIR" -[load-calculation]: #load-calculation-definition "load calculation" -[shell]: #shell-definition "shell" -[SHR]: #shr-definition "SHR" -[wc]: #wc-definition "wc" -[TESP]: #tesp-definition "TESP" - - - - - -[trueflow-image]: "img/trueflow.png" - - -[trueflow-forecast-image]: "img/forecast.png" - - - -[loads-folder]: "https://example.com/path/to/loads/folder" -[trueflow-file]: "https://example.com/path/to/trueflow/file" -[trueflow-forecast-file]: "https://example.com/path/to/trueflow/forecast/file" -[document-folder]: "https://example.com/path/to/document/folder" - diff --git a/.ansible/build/footer.tex b/.ansible/build/footer.tex deleted file mode 100644 index abac351..0000000 --- a/.ansible/build/footer.tex +++ /dev/null @@ -1,26 +0,0 @@ -% customize the footer -\usepackage{fancyhdr} -\pagestyle{fancy} -% clear all footers -\fancyfoot{} -% clear all headers -\fancyhead{} - -% change font size on footer. -\newcommand{\changefont}{ - \fontsize{8}{10}\selectfont -} -% NOTE: What is displayed in the footer of each page. -\fancyfoot[LE,LO]{ - \href{ https://example.com } - {\changefont\textbf{ - www.Example.com - }} -} -\fancyfoot[RE,RO]{\textbf{ - \changefont{ - Phone: \href{tel:555-555-5555 }{ - \color{orange}555-555-5555 - } - } -}} diff --git a/.ansible/build/head.tex b/.ansible/build/head.tex deleted file mode 100644 index a2f14f6..0000000 --- a/.ansible/build/head.tex +++ /dev/null @@ -1,74 +0,0 @@ -% https://jdhao.github.io/2019/05/30/markdown2pdf_pandoc/#the-top -% These were adapted from the above, which was very helpful in getting this -% functional. - -% change style of quote, see also https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/436253/114857 -\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox} - -% change page margins -\usepackage[top=2cm, bottom=1.5cm, left=2cm, right=2cm]{geometry} - -% change the line spacing -\usepackage{setspace} -\setstretch{1.25} - -\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} - -% NOTE: This needs to stay above hyperref otherwise internal links break. - -% start each section on new page and make section titles orange. -\usepackage{titlesec} -\titleformat{\section} -{\color{orange}\normalfont\Huge\bfseries} -\newcommand{\sectionbreak}{\clearpage} - -% custom colors -\definecolor{applegreen}{rgb}{0.55,0.71,0.0} - -% Remove figure from images -\usepackage[labelformat=empty]{caption} - -\usepackage{fancyvrb,newverbs} - -% see for different color codes https://rgbcolorcode.com/color/E6FFEA -\definecolor{linequote}{RGB}{224,215,188} -\definecolor{backquote}{RGB}{230,255,234} % background color of quotes -\definecolor{bordercolor}{RGB}{221,221,221} - -% change left border: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/475716/114857 -% change left margin: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/457936/114857 -\newtcolorbox{myquote}[1][]{% - enhanced, - breakable, - size=minimal, - left=10pt, - top=5pt, - bottom=5pt, - frame hidden, - boxrule=0pt, - sharp corners=all, - colback=backquote, - borderline west={4pt}{0pt}{bordercolor}, - #1 -} - -% redefine quote environment to use the myquote environment, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/337587/114857 -\renewenvironment{quote}{\begin{myquote}}{\end{myquote}} - -% remove the abstract title. -\usepackage{abstract} -\renewcommand{\abstractname}{} -\renewcommand{\absnamepos}{empty} - -\def\squarefoot{$ft^{\text{2}}$ } -\def\goalsimage{ -\begin{center} - -\hfill\break -\hfill\break - -\includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth,height=\textheight,keepaspectratio]{img/goals.png} - -\end{center} - -} diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 7f1984f..9bcb944 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -2,4 +2,5 @@ Report.pdf report.html outfiles/* +.build/* build/* diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 35880f1..6ee7ed6 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ ANSIBLE_DIR = ".ansible" .PHONY: pdf pdf: ansible @./scripts/gen.sh "${BUILD_DIR}" "${PWD}/${PDF_TITLE}" \ - && open ${PDF_TITLE} \ + && open "${PDF_TITLE}" \ && osascript ./scripts/notify.scpt .PHONY: tex @@ -20,14 +20,6 @@ html: ansible @./scripts/gen.sh "${BUILD_DIR}" "${BUILD_DIR}/${HTML_TITLE}" \ && open "${BUILD_DIR}/${HTML_TITLE}" -.PHONY: install -install: - @brew install pandoc \ - mactex-no-gui \ - imagemagick \ - gettext \ - ansible - .PHONY: ansible ansible: @cd "${ANSIBLE_DIR}" && \ @@ -41,7 +33,7 @@ ansible-vault-example: --ask-vault-password \ --extra-vars "build_dir=${BUILD_DIR}" \ --extra-vars "@group_vars/vault_example/vars.yaml" \ - --extra-vars "@group_vars/vault_example/vault.yaml" \ + --extra-vars "@group_vars/vault_example/vault.yaml" .PHONY: setup setup: @@ -51,3 +43,12 @@ setup: .PHONY: clean clean: @rm -rf "${BUILD_DIR}" + +.PHONY: install +install: + @brew install pandoc \ + mactex-no-gui \ + imagemagick \ + gettext \ + ansible \ + just
