Retrofit of a Multifamily Mass Masonry Building in New England
Merrimack Valley Habitat for Humanity (MVHfH) has partnered with Building Science Corporation (BSC) to provide high performance affordable housing for 10 families in the retrofit of an existing brick building (a former convent) into condominiums. The condominium conversion project will contribute to several areas of space conditioning, water heating, and enclosures research. Enclosure items include insulation of mass masonry building on the interior, airtightness of these types of retrofits, multiunit building compartmentalization, window selection and roof insulation strategies. Mechanical system items include combined hydronic and space heating systems with hydronic distribution in small (low-load) units, and ventilation system retrofits for multifamily buildings. One of the initial questions in this renovation project was whether the existing mass masonry walls could be retrofitted with insulation without durability problems. To understand these risks, the team performed a site assessment followed by material property testing and hygrothermal simulations. The section covering the analysis includes a summary of the material property testing results, a description of the hygrothermal computer simulations, and an interpretation of the results.
