This product is pretty cool. One guy set up this home's foundation in a couple days using this modular expanded polystyrene formwork. The consolation to using non-biodegradable polystyrene as a formwork is that you leave the blocks in place, substantially increasing the R-value of the foundation. Not losing heat to the ground represents a huge energy savings in the northern climates.

آبگرمکن های ایستاده معمولی همچنان محبوب ترین نوع سیستم گرمایش آب برای خانه هستند. در اینجا اطلاعات اساسی در مورد نحوه کار آبگرمکن ایستاده ذخیره سازی پیدا خواهید کرد. هنگام انتخاب مدل مناسب از چه معیارهایی استفاده شود. و برخی از نکات مربوط به نصب ، نگهداری و ایمنی.
آبگرمکن ایستاده چگونه کار می کنند؟
یک آبگرمکن ایستاده یک خانواده یک مخزن آماده - از 20 تا 80 گالن - آب گرم فراهم می کند. هنگامی که شیر آب گرم را روشن می کنید با آزاد کردن آب گرم از بالای مخزن کار می کند. برای جایگزینی آن آب گرم ، اطمینان حاصل شود که مخزن همیشه پر است و به پایین مخزن وارد می شود.
منابع سوختی آبگرمکن ذخیره سازی متداول شامل گاز طبیعی ، پروپان ، مازوت و برق است. هنگام انتخاب آبگرمکن جدید ، در مورد انواع سوخت موجود بیشتر بیاموزید.
از آنجا که آب دائماً در مخزن گرم می شود ، حتی در صورت عدم استفاده از شیر آب گرم ، می توان انرژی را هدر داد. به این حالت از دست دادن گرمای آماده به کار گفته می شود. فقط آبگرمکن دیواری - مانند آبگرمکن ها تقاضای نوع و آبگرمکن های کویل بدون مخزن - از اتلاف حرارت در حالت آماده به کار جلوگیری می کنند. برخی از مدل های آبگرمکن ذخیره سازی دارای مخزن عایق بندی شدیدی هستند که به طور قابل توجهی تلفات گرمای آماده به کار را کاهش می دهد و هزینه های عملیاتی سالانه را کاهش می دهد. به دنبال مدل هایی با مخازن باشید که دارای مقاومت حرارتی (R-Value) R-12 تا R-25 باشند.
آبگرمکن های گازی و نفتی نیز تلفات انرژی مربوط به تخلیه دارند. دو نوع آبگرمکن - آبگرمکن گازی با کمک فن و آبگرمکن احتراق مهر و موم شده در جو - این تلفات را کاهش می دهد.
همچنین ممکن است بخواهید برخی از آبگرمکن های ایستاده کمتر معمولی را در نظر بگیرید - آبگرمکن های پمپ حرارتی و آبگرمکن های خورشیدی. این آبگرمکن ها معمولاً گران ترند اما به طور معمول هزینه های عملیاتی سالانه کمتری دارند.
انتخاب آبگرمکن ایستاده
آبگرمکن ایستاده با کمترین قیمت ممکن است گرانترین کارکرد و نگهداری در طول عمر خود باشد. اگرچه یک واحد بزرگ ممکن است جذاب باشد ، اما به دلیل اتلاف بیشتر انرژی در حالت آماده به کار ، قیمت خرید بالاتر و هزینه های انرژی را افزایش می دهد.
قبل از خرید آبگرمکن ایستاده جدید ، موارد زیر را در نظر بگیرید:
اندازه و رتبه بندی ساعت اول
نوع سوخت و در دسترس بودن
بازده و هزینه های انرژی.
نصب و نگهداری آبگرمکن ایستاده
نصب و نگهداری صحیح آبگرمکن می تواند بهره وری انرژی آن را بهینه کند.
نصب مناسب به عوامل زیادی بستگی دارد. این عوامل شامل نوع سوخت ، آب و هوا ، الزامات محلی کد ساختمان و موارد ایمنی ، به ویژه در مورد احتراق بخاری های آب با گاز و روغن است. بنابراین ، بهتر است یک پیمانکار لوله کشی و گرمایشی بخاری آب گرم کن خود را نصب کنید. هنگام انتخاب پیمانکار حتما کارهای زیر را انجام دهید:
برآورد هزینه را به صورت کتبی درخواست کنید
مراجعه کنید
این شرکت را با دفتر بهتر مشاغل محلی خود بررسی کنید
ببینید آیا شرکت در صورت لزوم مجوز محلی را دریافت می کند و کد ساختمان محلی و غیره را می فهمد.
اگر تصمیم دارید خودتان آن را نصب کنید ، ابتدا با سازنده آبگرمکن ایستاده مشورت کنید. تولیدکنندگان معمولاً دفترچه راهنمای نصب و راه اندازی لازم را دارند. همچنین ، برای کسب اطلاعات در مورد اخذ مجوز ، در صورت لزوم و کد ساخت محلی بخاری آب ، با شهر یا شهر خود تماس بگیرید.
تعمیر و نگهداری دوره ای آبگرمکن ایستاده می تواند به طور قابل توجهی عمر بخاری شما را افزایش داده و افت کارایی را به حداقل برساند. برای توصیه های خاص نگهداری ، دفترچه راهنمای خود را بخوانید.
تعمیر و نگهداری معمول آبگرمکن های ایستاده ، بسته به نوع یا مدل شما ، ممکن است شامل موارد زیر باشد:
هر سه ماه یک چهارم آب از مخزن ذخیره کنید
هر شش ماه یکبار دما و فشار را چک کنید
بازرسی از میله آند هر سه تا چهار سال.
بهبود کارایی انرژی
بعد از اینکه آبگرمکن صنعتی شما به درستی نصب و نگهداری شد ، برخی از استراتژی های اضافی برای صرفه جویی در مصرف انرژی را برای کمک به کاهش قبض های آب گرم کنید. نصب برخی از دستگاه ها و سیستم های کم مصرف مقرون به صرفه تر با آبگرمکن برقی است.

The wall and roof assemblies were considered for their thermal performance and efficiency of use. Insulated concrete forms (ICF) walls are used on the load bearing axis’ where openings are limited (exposure wall) or absent (party wall). The concrete provides superior stability, i.e. no shrinkage, and durability over framed walls. The layout of walls and openings (west elevation/A4) allowed for the whole or half block modules so that no cutting was required. There was no waste from these forms. In addition ICF walls have an R value of 22.7 and no thermal bridging - which effectively increases their performance over that value. The mass of the concrete provides some modulation to temperature swings
Light (2x6@24” centre) framed walls were used on the south and north elevations where larger opening and greater transparency was desired. A soya based closed cell spray foam with recycled fiber (Polar Foam) was applied to the exterior framed walls resulting in an R value of 35. Polar Foam was also used to insulate floors suspended over unheated space, increasing the R value over traditional ‘batt’ insulation while also mitigating the thermal bypass (air gap) between insulation and heated space. Made to measure pre-engineered joists and beams where used throughout. These assemblies contributed to an estimated 60% reduction in construction waste. Finally, the extra deep roof trusses specified allowed for a vented roof with combined R59 batt with . The flat roof allows for the future provision of solar collectors or photovoltaic panels. Triple glazed windows and double glazed doors with argon filled spaces and low e coatings add to the thermal performance.
The simplicity of the basic parti – light stick framing suspended between insulated concrete walls (party/ party or exposure / party) – anticipates extrapolation into 3 -plex, 4-plex and row housing arrangements. A variety of roof forms and inclinations can accommodate the requirements of solar collectors or photovoltaic panels orientation particular to the site. The clear span structure will allow for plan variations in design or for adaptive re-use without the need for structural modification.

The house contains 10 inches of polyurethane spray foam insulation, an economical option for remote villages because of its high R-value and lower shipping costs (it travels in liquid form in drums). It’s airtight and moisture resistant, critical for maintaining warm, dry walls in an unforgiving climate. Our building science researchers are studying how cellulose, fiberglass, and other types of insulation could fit with this design.

Well, it is made from soybeans. www.BioBased.net supplies a spray foam insulation alternative to petroleum based versions. It emits no-VOCs or CFC and has no formaldehyde. The open cell version provides R value of 3.83/inch and virtually eliminates air gaps and infiltration heating and cooling losses. We got closed cell (which has a higher R-value) for the basement which they ended up using on the first floor, too. They applied about 4 inches. (I should have made them go full depth for the whole ceiling. Foam insulators never want to go full depth for some reason.)

Prior to the application of the Pacific Pattern on a QUANSA Hut style cabin. We increased the R-value and the walkability of the roof as well as creating a maintenance free scenario for the client.
Platinum SIPS offer a higher R-Value than standard Premier SIPS, enabling the roof to be 2" thinner. This difference in thickness saved an entire flat bed of transportation costs!
We vacuum and remove old insulation and re-insulate with high performing, long lasting new insulation technologies. Old insulation looses R-value over time and can provide living areas for insects and other pests.
The installer is applying a 1" layer of closed cell insulation before regular batt insulation is placed over the top. This will combined for a R-value of 18.
How to apply IRUV Liquid Film - Thermal Insulating Glass Coating on to the glass window. This is the final step, main coating part which takes less than 5 min. Before this all the pre-cleaning of the surface and taping the frames around the window have to be done. Easy, Affordable, Energy saving Solution that anyone can do it.

Our existing brick walls are brick, CMU, strapping, metal lath and plaster. This should double the R value.
I figure I should share my latest work. I have been involved in remodeling this awesome home. It was built in 1954 as part of Austin's air conditioned village. 21 homes were built in a joint venture between a US government housing agency called The National Association of Home Builders [NAHB] and the University of Texas at Austin to test many different central air-conditioning systems as central air was the new in thing and no one really had a good idea of how to do it. This home had central air conditioning system designed by Lennox and was built by H. T. Baker who also built a home in Austin's first Parade of homes in 1953 other then that I have not been able to find out more about him.
