Mass Customization of Prefabricated Panel Blocks for Deep Wall Insulation Retrofits

Description

The project this data comes from looks to make building wall retrofits less expensive and easier to install by using exterior insulating panels. This is done to make buildings more energy efficient without expensive wall retrofits or reconstruction. The "Measurement and Verification for Topic 1 Phase 1 Testing Guidance Draft" document includes the following: Standard Test Methods for Determining Thermal Performance: Controlled field testing and THERM simulations Standard Test Methods for Determining Air Leakage Rate: modified ASTM E779 Criteria for Moisture-Control Design Analysis in Buildings: WUFI simulations Moisture Management Plan: Relevant enclosure system design details. ABC Technology Scaling Framework: TRL characteristics relative to development phases Customer Discovery: Target customers and why they would buy/adopt the innovation. Also included in the submissions is the "Duct Blaster Test Report" from 8-25-2021 which includes a filled out test report form for a Duct Blaster which is used to directly pressure test a duct system for air leaks.
