The NIST House: Applicability in the Rocky Mountain West
The NIST House was built by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2012-13. It was intended to demonstrate that a Zero Energy house can “look and feel” like a typical American residence. Since construction it has operated with a significant energy surplus. As the house was built in the relatively-mild climate of Gaithersburg, Maryland, questions remain about the applicability of the design to colder climates. This paper uses building energy simulation tools to evaluate the NIST House for three locations in the Rocky Mountain West. We conclude that the design works well but is not affordable. Refinements are offered.
