Case Study: Edminster-Bohner Residence (Renovation)
Pacifica - < 1 mile from coast• 30+ inches of rain
annually, all from November thru March
• 2860 HDD, spread evenly over the same period
• Winds from the west, but sheltered site
SFD with home office• 50+ years old, with recent
second story addition• 2 by 4 wood-frame• Cathedral throughout• Attached garage• Terraced lot in steep,
well-drained slope
SFD with home office (cont’d)• Vented, unconditioned “tight” attics
• Vented, “unconditioned” crawl
• Forced hot air heat, no active cooling
• Single-pane metal windows
• Asphalt shingle roof
Crawl Details• Wood-framed stem wall
below-grade)• FA heating ducts – metal,
uninsulated

Crawlspace Performance Profile• Things are getting wet
– Wood wall– Uncovered bare soil
• Things are drying– 6-month split– Energy hog ducts– Vents?
• There is some kind of balance (for 50+ years) but what about changes?
