Ventilation Improving the efficiency of homes carries with it an increased emphasis on intentional ventilation. Low efficiency homes are, by their nature, well ventilated. While holding in heat is the end goal, too little air flow can result in trapping bad odors, harmful gases, or moisture that can result in mold and mildew. All of these can have negative health effects. The following case studies will note the importance of allowing fresh air flow and some of the negative effects of not allowing for ventilation. The following examples of high efficiency homes designed and built by the Cold Climate Housing Research Center (CCHRC) all emphasize proper ventilation as well as high efficiency. Ventilating a home can be as simple as cutting a whole in the wall. To reduce drafts and too much cold air entering, a fresh air in-let or trickle vent helps control air flow. Letting in outside air may appear counterintuitive, but permitting fresh air flow in a home and ensuring that wood stoves or oil and diesel heaters are properly maintained and appropriately vented are essential steps to preventing severe respiratory illness. Positive Energy Conservation Products (search for possible resource for air in-let vents) High Efficiency Homes For a list of housing resources see page 43-45 The Cold Climate Housing Research Center (CCHRC) has been developing Alaska homes that are designed around the unique conditions of their environment, not only taking into account the intense winter cold, but the building limitations of each region. Two CCHRC projects, one in Anaktuvuk Pass in the Brooks Range, and another in Quinhagak in southwestern Alaska, exemplify efficient design for the arctic environment. Anaktuvuk Pass is a Nunamiut community of 380 people located in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska and is only accessible by plane or over frozen tundra from Coldfoot during the winter, 80 miles away. Therefore, design considerations have to take into account not only the average winter temperature of -14 °F, but geographic limitations for bringing in building materials. The prototype house is currently in its third year of monitoring. It was designed to be practical for the lifestyle of the residents, highly efficient, affordable, and capable of having the materials for its construction shipped in just one cargo plane trip. After several years of testing and modifications, the house consumed about 200 gallons of heating oil per year, over a 75 percent improvement from the average consumption in the town. The construction design of the house is built low to the ground with dirt mounded up against the walls to reduce snow drift and pressure from high winds. This is unlike other houses that Sustainable Energy Opportunities: Best Practices for Alaska Tribes Page 6PDF Image | Sustainable Energy Opportunities: Best Practices for Alaska Tribes
