Yuma Energy Demonstration House

Last crawled date: 1 year, 9 months ago

The U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground base housing will need replacing between 2004 and 2006. This energy-efficient home demonstrated several technologies that could be incorporated into the new base housing. The demonstration home included extensive architectural shading, low-e windows, structural insulated panel (SIP) construction, an efficient air-conditioner and appliances, compact fluorescent lighting, a solar water heater, and photovoltaics. The home uses about one third the energy of a similar home built using standard practices in Yuma. #Airtightness #department_of_eneregy #doe #Efficient_lighting #energy_efficient #Glazing #HVAC #Insulation_levels #Onsite_renewable_electricity #Thermal_comfort
