10. Application? Case Study Scenario: You have been called in as a consultant to find out why a certain building is having the following problems: On the south side of the building, the sheathing is warping between studs Same side…AL siding is popping loose During the winter they occupants cannot keep the building any warmer than 65oF (in fact, some liquid items near the north facing wall have froze) Also, at different point of time in the winter, all of the insulated double pane glass has frosted over on the inside Snow has accumulated on the inside during heavy blustery snow storms High electric bills for heating and cooling

11. At inspection, you see… North Side Siding warps Siding pulled away

12. You see… South Side Siding warps in and out every 16”

13. You see… North Side Windows You note that the snow extends into the closet

14. Wall inspection Nothing behind AL siding but bare OSB sheathing R19 batt insulation not properly installed mmhhh….. Request Blower Door Test

15. Blower Door Test A blower door is a large calibrated fan that is temporarily mounted in a house door to measure the "leakiness" of the house Smoke puffer Infrared camera Calculate room air change A recreation of a 20 mph wind

16. You discover… Air leaks Around doors and windows Behind plumbing fixtures Between sill plate and floor Infrared Shows air infiltrating around each insulation batt and at sill plate Calculations from pressure differentials 133 CFM infiltration (ASHRAE recommends 10 cfm for residential) 35 CFM ventilation

17. Your Notes after Inspection Heating/Cooling sized correctly You sketch the wall construction Determine R values Wall Window IA conditions: DB=75 o F WB = 56 o F Calculation winter surface wall temps
