Abstract:

This paper reports on work in progress in `Design for Energy Efficiency', one of fifteen task areas of the U.S. Department of Energy sponsored Energy Efficient Industrialized Housing research program. In this task, design studies establish performance goals for systems and technologies leading to energy efficient housing in the year 2030. Methods and results of work in progress are summarized, emphasizing areas where principles of design, engineering and manufacturing have converged to realize program goals of energy performance, economy and design quality.
