Hot-Humid Climate - New Orleans

Advanced Technologies - Energy Analysis Overview

The case study house was modeled with the following additional energy consumption reduction and energy generation strategies. The strategies were modeled individually to demonstrate the relative impact of each. The final row highlights the total whole house energy consumption reduction if all of the strategies are applied together.

The case study model design achieved a whole house 64.7% energy reduction when all the advanced strategies were employed at the same time compared to the Building America Benchmark.

On the basis of BTU/sf/yr of site energy, the above calculations yield the following:
