The EQ houses are performing well Householders use more electricity than
predicted by developers and energy modellers
PV output meets predictions in summer but is less than predicted in winter
Many assumptions in prediction process Shading, snow effects are likely culprits
Monitoring Results – General Trends
EcoTerra
From January 2010 through mid-July: Avalon with an 8.2 kW system produced
about 5600 kWh CHESS with a 6.7 kW system produced
about 6000 kWh
Predictive programs could not deal with the subtleties of shading
Real vs predicted PV

Shading study seems accurate for Avalon
CHESS system has no shading

Ongoing Renovation Research
Recently Completed: Cold Climate Radon Mitigation – External Research Program
This research project investigated how radon mitigators working cold climates mitigate radon.Results indicate that while an outside fan with vertical ducting works adequately in temperate parts of North America, the colder parts may require additional measures to avoid icing, such as vent insulation or locating the vent in a heated location.
