Retrofitting a 1960s Split-Level Cold-Climate Home

The U.S. Department of Energy Building America research team Consortium for Advanced Residential Buildings (CARB) partnered with Preferred Builders, a previous CARB partner and builder of the Performance House (DOE 2013) and the owners of a 1960s split-level home in Westport, Connecticut, to evaluate and implement a cost-effective solution package that met the requirements of 30% source energy savings compared to the pre-retrofit performance. This home had already been updated aesthetically (kitchen and bathrooms), so the owners wanted the energy-efficiency measures to be as non-disruptive to the interior finishes as possible.
