  7. EQuilibrium™ Housing InSight Completed Titles • Avalon Discovery 3 • Passive Solar Design • Now House™ • Exterior Envelope Retrofit • Riverdale NetZero • Deep Wall System • Active Solar Thermal System • Passive Solar Design CANADA MORTGAGE AND HOUSING CORPORATION

  8. EQuilibrium™ Housing InSight Completed Titles - New • Avalon Discovery 3 • Active Solar Heating • Slab-on-grade Foundation and Finished Attic Space • Double Structural Insulated Panel Walls • Integrated Photovoltaic System • ÉcoTerra™ • Passive Solar Design CANADA MORTGAGE AND HOUSING CORPORATION

  9. Monitoring Results – General Trends • The EQ houses are performing well • Householders use more electricity than predicted by developers and energy modellers • PV output meets predictions in summer but is less than predicted in winter

  10. PV output: predicted vs measured • Predictions generally made using RETScreen • Many assumptions in that process • Measured PV output is generally close in summer but lower in the darker six months • Shading, snow effects are likely culprits

  11. EcoTerra

  12. Avalon Discovery III

  13. Riverdale West

  14. Real vs predicted PV • From January 2010 through mid-July: • Avalon with an 8.2 kW system produced about 5600 kWh • CHESS with a 6.7 kW system produced about 6000 kWh • Predictive programs could not deal with the subtleties of shading

  15. Avalon Discovery 3 - March 21st Shadow Patterns

  16. Shading study seems accurate for Avalon

  17. CHESS system has no shading

  18. Electrical consumption for lights and appliances

  19. Airtightness test data ACPH@50 Pa
