When you complete this workshop you’ll see that logic, mathematical analysis and experimentation is all you need to take on dense pack cellulose insulation.
.
The sessions objectives include but is not limited to
• Setup all equipment, including blower unit
• Determine the work scope and discussion of different settings according to type of walls
• Calculate air to cellulose ratio
• Determine best hose size and placement
• Discussion and techniques on air sealing for this particular application
• Testing the project as we go along
• Perform before and after blower door test
As described above, this is not a prop exercise, but instead, a real live project that will impact a local church community. We are taking this opportunity to gather before and after data to develop a case study that would help reinforce the great value Home Performance provides to all our communities. This community was adv iced to add more BTU’s to the place in order to make it “tolerable” to be there during the winter months; so several more radiators where installed to help move the propane heated hot water. On December 5th we were told that they have no hot water because their pipes are frozen. More BTU’s is not the answer because all it get’s accomplish is to released them to the outside!
