| Description |
English: CEILING INSULATION IN MED HOME.
THE MAJOR GOAL OF THE MED RESEARCH PROJECT, CONCEIVED IN 1975 BY THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY, WAS TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN A TYPICAL HOME BY AT LEAST 50 PERCENT WHILE MAINTAINING, OR EVEN IMPROVING, THE OCCUPANT FAMILY'S STANDARDS OF LIVING AND COMFORT. THE PROJECT USED AVAILABLE ENERGY-SAVING BUILDING TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS, AS WELL AS ADVANCED HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES AND A SOLAR/NATURAL GAS ENERGY SYSTEM FOR HEATING AND COOLING. MED DESIGNERS HOPED TO EN- COURAGE THE AMERICAN BUILDING INDUSTRY TO ADOPT THE PROJECT'S ENERGY-SAVING FEATURES. RESULTS: ENERGY CONSUMPTION WAS REDUCED BY MORE THAN 50 PERCENT IN THE PROGRAM'S TWO RESEARCH HOUSES, BUT THE TOTAL COST WAS TOO GREAT FOR PRACTICAL CONSIDERATION. A SUBSEQUENT PROJECT, MED-II, PROVED THAT SOME MED-I FEATURES COULD BE USED COST EFFECTIVELY. For more information or additional images, please contact 202-586-5251. |
