Proposal: Provide an update to the 1995 report, which would
include tracking of house airtightness trends since 1995, review of current
recommendations and policies regarding house envelope airtightness, an
overview of mechanical ventilation options for the Florida climate, and
alternative approaches to achieving acceptable levels of ventilation while
avoiding the risks associated with super-tight home enclosures and potential
mechanical system failures. |
