Executive Summery

As part of the study to design a net zero home, focus was placed on four major aspects which contributed to the final iteration; Solar efficiency/ generation, internal heating and cooling systems, and internal/external water systems.

This report will focus on the last factor, which is the envelope and all its properties. This report will seek to organize large amounts of information into three major categories summarized below: Foundation: Preliminary analysis has found that highly insulating the basement was a way to minimize heat loss considerably. Therefore the foundation wall consists of 50mm exterior insulation, 100mm of under slab rigid insulation and a 2x6 stud wall on the interior with closed cell spray foam insulation (150mm).

The Wall: After a comparison, the best alternative was to use a 2x6 regular framed wall, with additional exterior insulation to reach an R-value of 45.75. Careful detailing has been done in critical regions to help mediate thermal bridging and create an air tight envelope. Windows and doors, have been sourced based on three critical factors; U - Value, cost, and sizing available. As such, the best alternative chosen is Paradigm Windows or a brand with similar values.

Roof: The flat roof has been designed with an R - value of 81.75 and detailed so that there is continuous insulation on the outer edges of the perimeter.

The house contains 2x10 joists with closed sprayfoam insulation.

Introduction 18 Raeburn Avenue The Current The purpose of this series of reports is to attempt to create a net zero home on the current lot of 18 Raeburn Avenue. The client, currently undertaking the construction of a new home, may choose to implement some of these considerations to their liking. It has been advised to assume the lot is empty with foundations removed.

The lot is currently located in the region of North York tilted 17 degreed West. The property is lightly shaded by neighboring buildings and two trees in the front yard. Restrictions include a 5 foot setback from the west property line, and enough room on the east side for a car to reach the parking located on the north end of the lot.

Goal: The goal in this specific report is to showcase certain properties of the envelope and how they contribute to the overall house efficiency and deal with problematic areas.

These areas include junctions with the chance of thermal bridging, the wall composition, transitions from foundation to main walls, and roof connections.

In order to reach the goal, common building practices found both in net zero homes and passive houses have been used, in order to minimize energy use and lower the burden on energy generation. As a result, the envelope is designed with passive like strategies, but is still easily constructible.

Foundation Below grade walls and slab The client has stipulated that a basement is required for larger gatherings, and as such must not contain any interior partitions.

2. Exterior (50mm), interior (100mm) and under slab insulation (50mm)

During initial studies of the house in Hot 2000, a large amount of heat loss was coming from the foundation and basement slab. As such it is fundamental to well insulate it, similarly to the upper wall.

In the initial thought process, research was done to determine common basement insulating practices for both Net Zero and Passive homes.

High levels of insulation assisted in lowering energy costs and improve the Energuide number for the home.

3. R-24 Insulated concrete forms

Multiple ways of doing this arose and four of the most common methods of providing high insulation values were analyzed. [1] These include: 1. Exterior (50mm), interior (150mm) and under slab insulation (100mm)

4. Typical home, interior 2x4 stud wall (R-13)

3

Exterior: Research was done comparing expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), and polyisocyanurate (ISO) panels. [2] The following chart compares the cost of 1 sqft that is 25mm thick relative to its insulation value.

(Figure 1)

COST PER SQFT ($)

Cost vs Insulative Value 1 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0

For underneath of the floor slab, the choice was to use the same XPS insulation, for its durability, but with 100mm for a total r-value of 20.

Interior: When looking at the alternatives for interior insulation, the considerations were fiberglass, mineral wood, in addition to open and closed cell spray foam. [2] The following chart compares the price and r-values of each option. The metric used was cost in dollars and R-value per an inch with an area of 1sqft. (Figure 2) Cost vs Insulative Value 1.4 COST PER SQFT ($)

A key factor in designing and thinking about material choice was considering feasibility, costs and efficiency of the materials. As such, before tests were conducted to see which alternative was better in regards to R-values, the first step was to choose the types of insulation for the wall assembly. This was done by comparing multiple types of exterior and interior insulation.

The ISO panels outperform the others followed by XPS and then EPS panels. However, with pricing, ISO is also the most expensive followed by XPS then EPS. When considering the life cycle and environmental impact of each material, the r-values of ISO panels begin to degrade over time. In addition the r-values of ESP panels lower when the material comes into contact with water, and return to normal as it dries. With all these factors at play the decision was to use a 2 inch XPS insulation board, with an r-value of 10.

Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation

Figure 2

As one can see, the closed cell polyurethane spray foam far outperforms the other types at almost double the r-value, followed by mineral wool, open cell, and fiberglass insulation. In regards to costs, closed cell is followed by mineral wool than fiberglass and open cell spray foam.

In order to get a high R value in very limited space, closed cell polyurethane insulation was selected as it provides a high R-value (6.5/inch) in comparison to price.

A con for using closed cell is its above average costs, and environment impact of its use. However, the attempt is that its use over the lifespan of this house will balance its environmental footprint, through energy saved.

Walls Top of foundation to roof With the XPS insulation working in tandem with the closed cell spray foam, the comparison between the original four methods of providing high insulation values in the basement wall composition can be made.

The wall segment of this report will focus on two main aspects in reducing energy consumption and reaching net zero for this particular house.

This includes the exterior wall composition and openings on the facade (Windows and doors).

The chart below compares the alternatives based on the total r-value in regards to the energy saved (vs an uninsulated basement)(Figure 3).

The floor area of the house is approximately 180sqm, with a perimeter of 44m. It is important to build both a thermal and air tight building to lower the use of any heating or cooling system.

Option 3

This investigation began with the goal of selecting a wall composition that would both perform well in retaining heat, but also mediate any thermal bridging. A consideration was the thickness of the wall assembly as thicker walls lead to less interior floor space. It was essential to find a good balance that would allow us to reach net zero.

Option 4

Figure 3

From the graph above option 1 (Exterior 50mm, interior 150mm and under slab insulation 100mm) is the best choice. Although the wall is slightly larger than option two, the additional r-value as well worth it. The foundation wall has an R-value of 47.25.

As such the goal was to look into multiple passive techniques for devising high r-valued walls.

Precedents were taken from existing walls in northern climates, and compared to see what would be best for our conditions. Below are the different wall compositions compared.

1. 1200mm (4ft) double stud stray bale wall

Option one provides a larger r-value, and therefore will allow for better thermal comfort with reduced energy usage. The energy usage has dropped considerably from the additional insulation added, and as a result reduced the heating/cooling load of the house assisting in the goal of net zero.

The thermal bridging of the foundation wall has also been calculated, and will be discussed in the thermal bridging portion following.

2. Rigid Insulation (50mm) and interior 2x6 (150mm)

The comparison showed the total r-value of the wall vs its thickness. In regards to the insulation used between wall cavities, closed cell spray foam was used for the 2x6 assemblies, and batt insulation for the double stud wall, for the reasons previously mentioned in the foundation study.

The graph below shows the comparison of all four options based on r value and energy saved vs a 2x6 wall (Figure 4) R-value vs Energy Saved

Figure 4

The 4 ft double stud straw bale wall, far out performs any other assembly, followed by a tie between exterior/interior insulation, and double stud wall.

4. 2x8 wall (200mm)

After the comparison the 4 ft double stud bale wall had been disregarded for multiple reasons.

First of all, the depth of the assembly used a considerable amount of floor area to gain a high r-value. A balance between wall thickness and r-value is necessary. In addition, the construction of the wall is not conventional or standard in Canada and as such, may require contractors to learn specific construction techniques. For these reasons the final decision was not to use this method of construction. [5]

6

The typical 2x8 wall construction was also eliminated due to thermal bridging through wall studs. This will be further explained in the thermal bridging portion of this report (see page 9) Between the last two options, option 2 (exterior/ interior insulation) was selected as the best alternative. The determining factor was cost. By using the exterior/interior insulated option rather than the third, the client would save approximately $.82 per a wall stud. (Figure 5) The final wall assembly has an R-value of 45.75.

Windows and Doors Part of the wall is any opens that would affect the performance of the envelope. This would include windows and doors. In determining the right window/door for the house the relative u-value, solar heat gain coefficient, visible transmittance, and air leakage were all considered.

The first step in the window selection process was finding sources that could provide sufficient values and be used in the Canadian climate. A few alternatives were analyzed, and ultimately the windows by Paradigm provided the best value (Figure 6). [6] Window Type

As part of the envelope and design of the proposal, the house contains a cantilevered portion. The best choice to construct this would be to extend the joists of the house to sit atop the stud wall and extend to the exterior. Then enclose closed cell spray foam insulation between the joists, as well as exterior insulation to provide continuous thermal performance.

The cladding used in the house is wood siding, and this was done with the intent to lower the environmental impact that stucco and vinyl posed.

Through its air tight and high thermal envelope, the proposed house has achieved the goal of net zero.

By using passive techniques and standards, it is possible to create an easy to build, net zero home using conventional construction techniques.

The window was selected because it provided adequate values and requirements to assist with a net zero home, in the listed categories above.

They also assisted in mediating acceptable solar heat gains during different times of the year.

Through precedent research and analysis, it was found that most of the thermal bridging occurring in a window was through the panes of glass.

However if it provided a low enough u-value as the examples above, the window frame begins to provide a higher degree of thermal bridging.

As such a study was done, comparing window pane areas, to the frame size (Appendix 1.1). It was found better to have larger windows where 7

Roof Above second floor wall possible, as opposed to multiple smaller windows.

[1] Therefore the largest standard window was used that complied with required performance values.

On the south side this was 72in by 96in.

In addition the house includes a majority fixed window panes, to minimize any air leakage. In areas requiring operable windows the best choice is to use casement windows, for the air tightness it provides. (Less air leakage).

For the doors, the best alternative is standard 84in by 36in door by Paradigm for the same reasons mentioned in the windows. In addition the specific qualities of the door minimize air leakage with a triple point locking system. (Figure 7) [6]

The last major envelope component to discuss is the roof. The careful consideration of the roof, and details of it, are made to minimize any heat loss.

The first choice for a residential house is usually a hipped or gable roof, and both of these options were analyzed. The benefit from this is that contractors are familiar with typical roof construction. However, an issue that commonly occurs is inadequate insulation around the perimeter of the envelope.[1] This can be solved by using a raised heel truss (Figure 8) but multiple issues arose. These included zoning height restrictions, and non-optimal conditions for solar panels.

Triple Locking Seal Heel truss

Raised Heel Truss

Figure 7

In conclusion, through research, the right windows and door, will help mediate thermal bridging, and provide an air tight seal throughout the envelope.

In addition, it will help bring in solar heat gain where needed, and assist in lowering the heating load of the house. The windows will also be utilized to provide passive heating within the home. This will be further discussed in the accompanied reports for this home.

As a result the best choice is a flat roof, in order to maximize solar panel gains. In addition, it also allows for the insulation to be continuously wrapped around the envelope and create a bridge free home.

The assembly of the roof, uses traditional 2 by 10 construction. The thought then focused on how to insulate the roof, and continue the high r-value performance of the walls.

Considerations included mineral wool, blown in insulation, and closed cell spray foam insulation.

The following chart compares the r-values of each 8

The closed cell spray foam insulation outperforms the other in regards to r-value per an inch. However, none of these values alone are enough to insulate the roof, and account for thermal bridging. As a result, additional exterior XPS insulation is added for better thermal performance and mediate bridging through the studs.

In the final design, the home uses closed cell spray foam insulation between joists, and 100mm of XPS rigid insulation on the exterior. The total r-value of the assembly is r-85. (Figure 10)

As part of this study, an analysis of the roof/ parapet, the house footing to foundation wall, a typical wall plan, and second floor junction (Appendix 2.1) was conducted.

An indoor temperature of 21C, outdoor temperature of -18C and a earth temperature of 4C was assumed. It was found, in regards to the roof detail, that thermal bridging was not an issue as the r-85 wall did not allow any effect on the indoor temperature. Also one layer (50mm) of rigid insulation from the exterior could be removed but opted not to as this can account for lower temperatures that may occur.

In the basement there was no bridging in the foundation wall and slab. It outperforms the above Roof detail.THM ( 13%)

grade wall, due to the higher average temperature of the earth.

When looking at the typical wall assembly (Appendix 2.1), the wall performs as required by not bridging through any wall studs. However, the header on the second floor junction slightly affect the heat flow, but ultimately disperses when reaching the interior gypsum board.

If changes were to be made, it would have included placing an extra layer of rigid insulation on the exterior to further mediate any thermal bridging, and withstand colder temperatures.

Conclusion Envelope Analysis

As part of the study to design a net zero home, four main design aspects were utilized, with this report focusing on the envelope and its properties.

The best design and assembly options have been concluded through careful analysis and comparison for the following categories.

Foundation: 50mm of exterior insulation and a 150mm insulated stud wall, with an addition 100mm of under slab rigid insulation. The R-value of the foundation wall is 47.25.

By doing all of this the house performs with the status of Net Zero, and produces an additional 2300 KWH per year. The EnerGuide number is 98 but could be better due to HOT 200 not allowing custom RSI values of windows. Regardless, the building envelope was just one factor of many helping to achieve this goal.

The Wall: 150mm closed cell spray foam insulated wall, with additional 50mm exterior insulation to reach an R-value of 45.75.

Roof: A flat roof designed with an R - value of 80 and detailed so that there is continuous insulation on the outer edges of the perimeter. This includes 250mm joist with spray foam and 100mm rigid insulation on the exterior.

In conjunction with this analysis other considerations included a life cycle analysis of materials used in the house, which sought to keep it to a minimum.

Proceeding with the assembly, modeling was done though therm to minimize thermal bridging, and maintain a thermally sealed envelope.

A key process was working back and forth with HOT 2000, in order to analyze the impacts that changes had on the envelope and overall energy consumption.

Appendix 1.1 Window pane to frame ratio

The following chart compares the size of window panes vs the frame size. The goal is to maximize the area of the pane while minimizing the frame size. As such, this investigation found the ratio between the two. The ratio number was how many times larger the pane was compared to the frame.

The study found that for a given area of glazing required, it was better to opt for a single large window, as opposed to multiple smaller one. The proposal implements exactly that utilizing 72 by 96in windows.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the process of accounting for the impacts of a product, material, or process based on the effects of obtaining the raw materials from which it is made, the processes through which those raw materials go to become usable products, the assembly of those products into a structure, the maintenance and operations required to maintain those products, the effects of disposing the product after its useable life, and the transportation impacts that arise between each of those phases.

Please bear in mind that this calculator measures the environmental effects of building materials and their related processes. It does not measure or account for operational energy. It is intended to be used to quantitatively compare different types of building materials and assemblies, not their effects on energy use or efficiency.
