更多的Green Building Curmudgeon
从五天返回家园后重新建筑绩效会议在北卡罗来纳州,我回顾了我的笔记e what I had picked up while there. Now for those of you who don’t know this crowd, this is one roomful of serious geeks. Compared to the building industry and the average consumer, I am pretty geeky when it comes to building science, but most of this crowd (as well as many of my friends here at GBA) truly humble me with the extent of their knowledge. I recognize that I am way too ADD to gain and retain the level of expertise of this crowd. I am much more comfortable in my role as a generalist.
因此，从通才的角度来看，我认为我会分享参加我参加的会议的一些观察结果，并从休闲对话中逗乐。我没有进行任何研究来备份我正在报告的一些事情，因此，如果有人进行了更正或澄清，请分享。没有特别的顺序，以下是我听到的：
• Energy Star is developing a certification program for existing homes above and beyond Home Performance, more in line with the new homes program.
• Garage vent fans are required by the mechanical code.
•根据Shelton Group, homeowners are willing to pay up to 70% more on their energy bills before they will spend money on home efficiency measures.
• RESNET is way behind the curve on Web 2.0.
• My friend Mike Barcik fromSouthfacerealized that after you size an HVAC system with Manual J, then you go to STD.
• RESNET presenters in general had an astounding amount of information to share. However, most of the presenters I heard could improve their presentation skills and slides—look, a whole screen of tiny type is never visible past the first few rows.
• The hotel was hot, crowded, and noisy. I never appreciated a good conference center so much before this.
• The staff atLEED for Homes我对我的批评的态度和幽默感要比我折磨的其他人更好。
•Tyvekhousewrap installation instructions require 1-inch cap nails, 6-inch overlap, and tape at all seams. Never seen that personally. I guess staples and big rips aren’t approved methods.
• 一个NAHB Research Centerwall air leakage study proved that caulking sheathing and between plates and subfloor makes a big difference.
• If you slap spray foam installations, you can hear hollow spots.
•手动D需要在每个跳动中安装可调节的阻尼器。
•垃圾袋流提供一个测试工作nd return ducts and vent fans, and instructions are available on theCMHCwebsite.
•只有1 cfm进来以替换它，只有1 CFM出门。示例：如果1200 cfm的通风扇风扇只能获得300 cfm的电源，则其他900 cfm只是噪声。
• The number of bathrooms is an excellent predictor of home energy use. More baths = more luxury = more stuff = more power use.
•在寒冷的气候下，大多数管道都位于泄漏倾向于保留在信封中的地下室中，对效率的影响有限。
• Testing ducts at 25 Pa tends to overstate the actual duct leakage.
• Ken Reaid ofHathmore Technologies拥有当天最好的想法之一：当您学习如何在计算机上做新事物时，打开网络摄像头录像机并叙述您的工作。您可以稍后忘记时重播。
• My friend Steve Byers ofEnergy Logic将啤酒保存在浴缸中，并使用奖项进行门口。
• 一个d finally, what could be my favorite PowerPoint typo of all time: “$1 Million General Inability Insurance Required.”
These range from useful to amusing, but I definitely picked up a few good ideas, once again reinforcing my theory that if you leave a class or conference with one useful idea that you can implement in your business, then it is worth your investment of time and money—not to mention the great networking. On that subject, coming up on March 1–2 is绿色印刷品在亚特兰大，一个伟大的区域绿色建筑会议对于任何决定参加的人来说肯定是值得的。希望在那里见到你。

Thanks for the "journal"
我非常感谢这些个人摘要“期刊”，并希望其他GBA人会在会议，研讨会等之后做同样的事情。我们在这里可以互相学习和分享。
我喜欢参加会议的价值的插件 - 结交您分享的评论和见解的那种朋友。对于东北部的人，年度建筑能源会议在两周内在波士顿举行。今年的活动非常出色，由建立科学团贝蒂·佩蒂特（Betsy Petit）主持。这是东北可持续能源协会的第35届年会！

RESNET Cliff Notes
嘿，感谢卡尔的重新悬崖笔记。我知道一个星期...（呃，您知道）可以在一个吊舱中总结。

我听到了同样的话，最初认为它解决了我对为客户坚持安装的这些巨大引擎盖提供弥补空气的所有担忧。但是，如果这是100％万无一失的，那么绝对不会在房屋或背景燃烧设备中造成负压。有什么想法吗？

丹尼，
Of course a powerful exhaust fan can put a house at negative pressure with respect to the outdoors, raising the risk of backdrafting. Even if a 1,000-cfm fan is unable to move 1,000 cfm — for example, if the designer forgot to provide a makeup air unit — that negative pressure acts on all the home's cracks and flues. The fan is "looking" for makeup air — that's one way to visualize what negative pressure means — and is doing its best to pull that makeup air down your chimney.
Thanks for including Shelton
Thanks for including Shelton Group in your RESNET recap! We're glad you found our insights helpful along wiith all the other valuable information from the event.

Thanks for clarifying, Martin. I understood that this was the case but it was explained so simply I felt I had to share it.
洗澡
史蒂夫还能真正使用浴缸？
I have also noticed if someone is any kind of scientist their PPT font size drops according to their level of specialty. Maybe building scientist should learn haiku?
负压
Thanks Martin - forgot that it was in reference to the outside - crystal clear once again. For some reason after hearing that at RESNET was picturing the pressure at the hood in reference to say the middle of the room - so was thinking the one in and one out would keep the pressure the same throughout the room and kind of forgot the basics.
A few more notes
Here are a few more items of note, Carl:
*培训与教育委员会说，评估者测试现在状况良好。关于不良问题的投诉数量几乎一无所有。
*同一小组说，该测试将保持在整个2010年，没有添加新的问题。委员会今年的重点将是定义类别，并确保对问题进行正确分类。（如果您接受了评估者测试并以后查看类别报告，您将了解对此的需求。）
* The Board of Directors voted to move forward with their work on expanding the mission to include commercial buildings. There's now a standing committee on COMNET. Because of this, the name RESNET may be changed.
* David Goldstein, new president of RESNET, said that energy codes were created in the '50s because of high energy bills causing mortgage defaults.
* Next year's conference will be in Orlando.
*关于现有房屋的能源之星，戴维·李（Estar New Homes Regiors）表示，他们正在考虑扩大与ESTAR的房屋绩效以覆盖翻新工作，并举例说明承包商在房屋上增加了一个补充，但要保持能量/房屋的碳足迹相同，甚至还原。（不确定这是否是您所指的，卡尔。）
* Quality Assurance is getting a lot more rigorous. RESNET will be doing a lot better job of checking up on rating providers, who will be forced to make sure they're doing things correctly.
* This conference has seen dramatic growth. There were ~550 attendees in 2008, ~750 in 2009, and over 900 this year.
