Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book introduces a computer program called ZIP that aids home-dwellers and professionals in various fields to estimate the economic levels of insulation for residential houses in the United States. Developed in response to the US Department of Energy's Insulation Fact Sheet, ZIP can be used for both new and pre-existing houses and can calculate estimates for attic floors, exterior walls, floors over crawlspaces, crawl space walls, and both shallow and deep basement walls. Drawing on national data and local price information, ZIP is able to provide uniquely tailored information depending on the user's location within the US. The author acknowledges the impact of insulation levels on heating and cooling costs, and ZIP has been designed to account for factors such as the type of heating and cooling systems used, ductwork specifications and even details such as the approximate number of stories in a house. By understanding the interplay between all these variables, the book and its companion ZIP program allow users to make more informed decisions when it comes to the insulation of their homes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from Zip-the Zip-Code Insulation Program (Version 1. 0) Economic Insulation Levels for New and Existing Houses by Three-Digit Zip Code: Users Guide and References Manual

The zip computer program was developed to support the calculations and data base used to estimate the economic levels of insulation published in the u.s. Department of Energy's Insulation Fact Sheet (doe/ge-0180, Office of Scientific and Technical Information, p.o. Box 62, Oak Ridge, TN 37831, This program allows individual users to estimate economic levels of insulation for their house, based on local climate data, local prices for energy and insulation, and the type and estimated efficiency of its heating and cooling system. 'while the current program is limited to calculating economic insulation levels for attic floors, exterior walls, floors over crawlspaces, and crawlspace and basement walls, it is anticipated that this will be expanded to include other components, such as windows water heaters, and duct work in unconditioned spaces. Programmatic direction of this project and the doe Insulation Fact Sheet has been provided by David mcelroy of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
