ACI Home Performance Conference 2007
HOT 1 - Reducing Cooling Loads
Tuesday, April 24, 2007 · 10:00 AM - 11:40 AMA reduction in cooling loads can mean a major cost savings, increased comfort, lower CO2 emissions, and decreased stress on summer peak electrical loads. Discover some new ways this can be accomplished. Hear several case studies where cooling loads were reduced using combinations of better insulation, air sealing, distribution systems inside the conditioned space, better windows, reduced ventilation, reduced internal gains, and new concepts in building envelope design.
By attending this session, participants will
- Learn some new low-cost ideas for reducing cooling loads
- See real examples of measured energy savings
- Understand how these concepts can be incorporated into new or existing homes
