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. 517 $aBuilding America residential system research results 606 $aArchitecture and energy conservation$xResearch$zUnited States 606 $aHouse construction$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aDwellings$xEnergy consumption$xEvaluation 606 $aSustainable buildings$xDesign and construction 615 0$aArchitecture and energy conservation$xResearch 615 0$aHouse construction$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aDwellings$xEnergy consumption$xEvaluation. 615 0$aSustainable buildings$xDesign and construction. 712 02$aNational Renewable Energy Laboratory (U.S.) 801 0$bSOE 801 1$bSOE 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910696430803321 996 $aBuilding America residential system research results$93438442 997 $aUNINA
