"A 90-year old building with solid clay brick walls has been gutted and renovated into a multifamily residential building for low income persons. The renovation involved the addition of thermal insulation to the inside of the building envelope, the application of stucco to the exterior of three of the four sides of the building, restoration of the front masonry facade, installation of a mechanical ventilation system with ventilation of each room, and a combination hydronic baseboard/radiant floor heating system. This renovation was of particular interest as it represented a unique opportunity to evaluate the impact of insulating formerly un-insulated solid masonry walls-a subject of much interest and controversy within the building rehabilitation industry. The project also demonstrated how the most current understanding of building envelope durability, heating and ventilation systems and indoor air quality could be implemented within an otherwise unremarkable renovation project."--Abstract.
