PHOB Tribal Building Building attic: 28’ x 60’ (1680 sq. ft. plus an additional 300 sq. ft. for eve insulation). Existing insulation consisted of R30 fiberglass bats laid over ceiling joists on 24” inch centers. Materials provided: 26 bales of R30 fiberglass insulation 24” x 48” bats (80 sq ft per bale), tyvek suits, dust/P100 particle respirators, 12 tubes of siliconized, paintable caulking and caulking guns. Existing layer of R30 insulation bats were laid perpendicular to truss members – allowing large voids between ceiling and insulation bats Existing layer of R30 – reinstalled parallel with truss members with carefully adjusted, tight seams Work Completed: Before installing insulation bats, a local maintenance crew air sealed by caulking around ceiling pe netrations wherever possible. Existing layer of R30 insulation was laid perpendicular to truss members which maintained large voids between sheet rocked ceiling and insulation bats, thus diminishing insulation R value. After a brief training on insulation safety and installation procedures, local maintenance staff removed existing layer of R30 insulation and re-laid it parallel with truss members. Pedro Bay Village Council maint. staff David Sanner works on insulation retrofit New layer of R30 insulation installed carefully over existing layer of R30 5 Alaska Building Science Network – Village End Use Energy Efficiency Program – ’07-’08 Final Report NW/SW Region – Pedro Bay PHOB Tribal Building – Attic Insulation Measure (Cont’d) The local crew then installed the new layer of R30 insulation bats perpendicular to the 1 st layer to bridge seams between insulation bats. This double layer method will add to thermal retention by reducing heat transfer through seams of existing insulation. Attic insulation R-value doubled from R30 to R60. Air sealing the attic and correctly installing greater levels of insulation will substantially reduce heat loss for the PHOB building. From recent AKWarm runs, at fuel prices of at least $6.00 / gallon which was current for the fall of 2008, payback on air sealing and adding attic insulation would come in at 2 to 4 years. Completed installation – two layers of R30 fiberglass insulation R60 insulation custom-cut and taped to attic access cover. Insulation covered access hatch will fit snuggly into insulation field forming a uniform R60 layer. Attic access hatch sealed closed to prevent air leakage and heat transfer into attic space. R3.2 per inch x 18” yields a total of ~ R60 The following section details insulation measure procedures for adding fiberglass bats. This is excerpt from ABSN’s: Attic Insulation and Air Sealing Procedure and Release Form which is read and signed by each village maint staff person working with fiberglass bat insulation measures. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Safety Protocols: ABSN provides the following safety equipment which shall be worn by each worker involved in installing attic insulation: Respirator face masks with nose/mouth, flexible rubber seal and P-100 particle filter cartridges. Wrap-around safety goggles for full eye protection from exposure to fiberglass fibers. Tyvek suits with hoods. Gloves (cloth and rubber). 6 Alaska Building Science Network – Village End Use Energy Efficiency Program – ’07-’08 Final Report NW/SW Region – Pedro Bay Quality Control Rules of Thumb: Spray foam, and/or caulking for air-seal around electrical boxes, wiring and other ceiling penetrations will be done wherever possible - before installing insulation. Appropriate color, quantity and placement of caulking will be applied to result in a professional seal and finish. Insulation will make light contact with ceiling (not roof). A 2" - 3" gap, of air space will be allowed between insulation and roof - especially at eve for proper ventilation and cooling of roof. Insulation will not be compressed, and will be worked to allow full expansion of its loft. There will be no gaps between bats of insulation or between insulation and framing members. There will be no surface level changes among same R-value bats of insulation, Insulation will be cut and worked to fit snugly around framing members. Insulation will be cut and worked to fit around electrical wiring, cable an d vacuum lines - and to make light contact with ceiling sheet rock and vapor barrier. Insulation level will be continuous across attic access hatch. This will be accomplished by taping bats of insulation on the hatch-cover without compressing insulation. Access hatches will be caulked shut for air sealing. These rules of thumb are important, because a sloppy insulation job that results in 3% voids or gaps between fiberglass bats looses 30% of its insulation capacity! For example R -30 can end up R-20 or less if care is not taken for quality installation. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Pedro Bay Council Tribal Administrator John Balke in March 2009: "It seems like the heater is coming on a lot less, and it seems warmer in here during the cold spells.
