Proposed Session Description
The classic brick wall is un-insulated (R-6-ish) wythe thick wall, prone to air infiltration. Many buildings fall under some form of aesthetic scrutiny often exterior insulation is prohibited. Therefore, the only option to make these buildings energy efficient is to insulate them on the interior. WE take a close look at how to insulate these walls safely from the interior - considering moisture drive, bulk rainwater issues, and insulation materials - avoiding the dangers of freeze thaw and mold.
Why is this session important?
High performance retrofit's are the key to meeting our climate targets as well as NYC electriciation goals. Many Brownstones as well as apartment buildings can only be renovated by adding insulation on the interior for various reasons. The existing building stock in citys (NYC, Boston, Albany, Chicago) will have to renovated in coming decade - what low carbon, foam free, airtight and save methods can we employ?
Diversity and Inclusiveness
low carbon and electrification is at the heart of the interior renovations. we strive to have equal gender representation with out co-presenters
