 | WEL0068 Yves L. Chenevert RESIDENCE | High insulation Wall R45, Roof R80, Basement floor R11. Situated in cold climate of Quebec Canada. After been through a fire in August 2005 i decided to rebuild a new house with high energy efficiency. I built the complete home myself with my friend Guy. We work 4 hours per day ( After works) and 8 hours on saturday. It took until August 2006 before family could live in the bachelor in the basement. In July 2007 we move in upstair. The house is situated along lake Des Deux-Montagnes. The house is completly heated and cool with 2 Geothermal unit. One Carrier 5 Ton WW for heating house floor, snow-melt driveway and balcony,DHW and pool as secondary source. One Carrier 3 Ton. for cooling house during summer with heat exchanger to recuparate 100% of extracted heat to DHW and pool heating as primary source. |
| WEL0080 Doug's Place | This is a 3 bedroom 1800sq' chalet style home. (Its 2100sq' when calculating heat loss due to high cathedral ceilings. It is in-floor heat throughout.

| WEL0119 elcogeothermal philbrick | 1987 Home, with 2008 Geo ground source heating and air conditioning upgrade, consisting of a Horizontal closed loop heat ex-changer(2 x 1 inch HDPE in parallel direct buried pipes (3' separation), buried 5' below grade, in 5 x 400' long trenches), 2 x 3 Ton ground source heat pumps (6 Tons total), 2 stage operation, water to water ground source heat pump system (2 x climate-master GSW036), a(2011 upgrade)radiant in floor heating system with gypsum concrete over-pour retrofit of 2/3 of the first floor SF area of the home, with(original 1987) hot water baseboard for balance of 1st floor and entire 2nd floor. Former 1987)oil fired traditional Hot water baseboard heating distribution is supplemented by (3) 60,000 BTU fan coil units with 3 speed blowers. 60K BTU Fan coils now only provide air-conditioning function during July and August. 80 gallon (Vaughn) stone lined accumulator tank stores 115 degree F heated water in winter for heating, and 42 degree F chilled water in summer for air conditioning. De-superheater equipped heat pump #2 only, preheats well water for domestic hot water use. De-superheater recirculates domestic hot water water from traditional domestic electric hot water (un-powered preheat) tank, whenever ground source heat pumps are running, thereby assisting with electric domestic hot water production. Primary domestic hot water heating is done in a separate primary electric hot water heater (finishing)tank. The primary electric hot water (finishing)tank is assisted by a NYLE Corp 'Geyser' air source heat pump that transfers heat from re-circulation of basement ambient air, as well as providing de-humidification of the basement throughout the year. On a remote outdoor chain link fence located directly above the horizontal closed loop heat geothermal ex-changer, a grid connected 21KW photo-voltaic array is ground mounted and separately connected to the electrical utility grid..resulting in net zero utility metering and net zero electrical consumption. Fossil fuel costs are zero. Net electricity costs are zero. This home's entire energy needs are all provided by the combination of solar derived heat stored in the earth's crust, and by photo-voltaic solar derived electricity production... for geothermal heating and air conditioning, for electric cooking,etc. No fuel oil, no propane, no natural gas, no wood pellets, no firewood necessary to operate this home. Entire system is virtually maintenance free.The relatively simple Web Energy Logger system monitoring system provides all the tools necessary to monitor proper operation, and efficiency, of the system. |

| WEL0178 Geothermal on a Budget | Having become very frustrated with magazine articles where McMansion's were used to demonstrate the economies (''Our New Home is 100% Geothermal and the geothermal system only cost $ 350,000'') and vendor quotes (''your geothermal system will cost $ 47,000...$ 93,000), I decided to build a geothermal home ''on a budget''. Where the local HVAC company wanted $ 27,000 for the 5 Ton heat pump, installed, I took factory training, purchased the same pump from the factory for $4,700 and installed it myself. Likewise, where radiant heating was quoted at between $30,000 and $ 45,000, we got a very detailed design and the complete installation kit from the great folks at www.nrt.com and installed it with a bit of help from the plumber. The result is a 6 zone radiant system operated by a Climate Master 5 ton (turns out to be much more than we needed, typical HVAC over-sizing...see graphs) water to water Geothermal Heat pump operating off our domestic water well. First year ran just over $ 1,200 for both heat and hot water. We expect to do better next year, since we're fixing all the sloppy air infiltration our awful builder didn't do properly. |

| WEL0393 Harvest House | We have a modern, sustainably-built home in Pullman, WA, which has recently received an NW EnergyStar certification. It was designed and built by Dyonne Davidson (IRIS Design Works) and R. Lane Brown. The exterior walls of the first level are FasWall blocks (R-26), coated on the exterior with a concrete-based stucco, and on the inside with a lime-based plaster (EcoStucco). The upper level uses double-stud or lattice-style construction to minimize thermal bridging, and is filled with open-cell foam (Demilec Sealection500) to R-36 and R-28, respectively. The unvented roof is filled with closed-cell foam (Demilec HeatLockSoy200) to R-40+ between the I-beam roof support. The majority of the windows are Atrium triple-pain vinyl windows (U value 0.22). The roofing material is a mechanically-rolled standing seam roof. The solar thermal system was designed and installed in collaboration with Todd Hoitsma from LiquidSolar of Bozeman, MT. We have eight 4x10 solar thermal panels at 23 degrees on a S-facing shed roof. The heat is transferred to a 350 gallon storage tank. The heat from this tank is used to heat domestic water in a Triangle Tube indirect water heater and used for space heating by charging a high-mass sandbed, which lies in an insulated foundation under the polished concrete slab flooring. Fourty-five percent of the glazing is on the S side (would have been more, except for a fantastic view to the East) with overhangs to provide shade during the summer months. During the winter months, this provides passive heating of the dark concrete floor slab. For backup space heating and domestic hot water, we have a Viessmann boiler (95% efficient). |

| WEL0444 Our Southington Residence | We have a ground source heat pump (GSHP) Envision Series from WaterFurnace that was installed in the fall of 2008 to heat & cool our home. The system has a closed loop with a pressurized GeoLink Flow Center FC2-FPT with two Grundfos pumps (TYP UP 26-99) and 3 vertical bores at 225 feet each with 1.25'' HDPE pipe. The geothermal loop is running with methanol diluted at 20%. The GSHP is controlled by a TZ-4 TotalZone Zone Control panel from Honeywell. The Envision unit is running with the IntelliStart component to preserve the life of the compressor,reduce light flicker, and diminish start-up noise from the unit by reducing the start-up current to just 30% of normal starting amperage. We also have a Marathon (MR50245) 50 Gallon 4500 Watts Electric Water heater. Our house was built in 2002. The house is 2500 square feet with 2'' by 6'' framing on exterior walls and R19 insulation. The attic has R49 insulation. The basement floor joists were recently insulated with R19 insulation. The house has Andersen Windows with high performance glass. We also installed recently solar panels in our roof. A total of 40 panels were installed. This array will provide over 90% of our power needs. We also Aerosealed our ductwork and were able to cut the air leakage by 90 %. The geothermal heat pump replaced an inefficient Hallmark oil fired furnace. The Marathon water heater replaced a Bock oil water heater. We have cut our dependency on fossil fuels as we no longer need oil to heat our home or our domestic hot water. The WEL is helping us get a better understanding of how our system is performing and helps us monitor in greater detail our temperature sensor data and monthly heating and cooling costs.

| WEL0586 La maison de Normand et Denise | I installed the WEL to monitor real time energy consumption and the performance of my 2 ton GeoConfort two stage geothermal unit, desuperheater and a heat pump HRV. GeoConfort geothermal two stage heat pump (2 tons): The unit is undersized due to utility room size constaints but I compensated with an oversized vertical loop 540 feet deep using 1 1/4'' polyethylene tubing with 25% methanol. I will try to lower the antifreeze concentration in the future. I keep a constant ambient temperature day/night using 1 cycle per hour. DHWH: The two element hot water heater (11 years old) will be replace with a three element unit shortly. The lower element is on a timer and operates only once a day in the early morning hours to kill any bacteria and is deactivated from around December to March when the desuperheater heat is sufficient. Tonn-Air heat pump HRV (3/4 ton): When installed in the spring, it will run automatically on demand and will be controlled by CO2 levels and/or air quality monitors and humidity sensors in bathrooms. The compressor will only operate in cooling mode and in heating mode only on the coldest winter days. Comments or suggestions are welcome.
