BA-PIRC Partnership with
Springwater Homes
Longwood, FL
In 2010, BA-PIRC initiated work with this new Builders Challenge builder. Work included meetings with Springwater Homes to discuss and define Builders Challenge criteria and review initial design analysis. FSEC continued working with this builder to identify future home improvements and define customer base for energy efficient homes. Work in progress on the model home was also discussed and included selection of the HVAC system, HVAC Manual J and D development and other home components critical to Builders Challenge Quality Criteria. The home (figure right) received final approval for LEED silver certification in May 2010. This home site is outfitted with ultra high efficiency heat pump (Nutone , SEER 21) and a Honeywell outside air damper control to provide fresh air intake.
