That is great to see you are already planning on reducing air leakage. It is very important to eliminate drafts in order to have an energy efficient home.

I know there are some really good whole house units coming on the market now, that are tight and well insulated, but no, that was not incorporated into the project.

We did however site all the venting skylights facing north to avoid unnecessary solar gain, and the large openings will actually allow for nice stack effect venting over nights to let in cool air, so in a way, we’ve got it covered. Also the AC system will be ultra-high efficient heat pump system with a 4kw PV array to offset it’s occasional use, when needed. Thanks for following the blog…!!

If so, you might want to see the latest R60 duct connector from invisco.com
