To measure the program's progress, annual research milestones have been established for five major climate regions in the United States. The system research activities required to reach each milestone take from 3 to 5 years to complete and include research in individual test houses, studies in pre-production prototypes, and research studies with lead builders that provide early examples that the specified energy savings level can be successfully achieved on a production basis. This report summarizes research results for the 30% energy savings level and demonstrates that lead builders can successfully provide 30% homes in Cold Climates on a cost-neutral basis.Building America residential system research results Architecture and energy conservationResearchUnited StatesHouse constructionEnvironmental aspectsDwellingsEnergy consumptionEvaluationSustainable buildingsDesign and constructionArchitecture and energy conservationResearchHouse constructionEnvironmental aspects.DwellingsEnergy consumptionEvaluation.Sustainable buildingsDesign and construction.National Renewable Energy Laboratory (U.S.)SOESOEGPOBOOK9910696430803321Building America residential system research results3438442UNINA
