This session will include discussion of:
t Evaluating Building Insulation Systems.Presenter: Terry Brennan, Camroden Associates - Westmoreland, NY An in-depth look at insulation systems from a cost, performance and building science perspective. Includes discussion of:
t Foundations: Financial and IAQ Benefit of Complete Foundation Insulation Presenter: William A. Turner, Turner Building Science, Harrison, MEt Residential Basement Retrofits Presenter: David Johnston, David Johnston & Co., Gorham, MaineRenovating basement spaces for energy efficiency and/or human occupancy is difficult in Maine. Basement renovations have to consider numerous issues, including foundation insulation, materials selection, moisture management, and building systems (heating/cooling, washer/dryer, drainage, etc.) Failure to properly address these issues can lead to poor energy efficiency and poor indoor air quality. A thorough how-to and why session. t Maine Home Energy Use Study: What the Data Reveals AboutIndoor Air Quality in the Wake of Rising Fuel Costs Presenter: Norman Anderson, American Lung Association of Maine Mr. Brennan has worked on a number of EPA projects over the years.
