Energy Efficient Tiny Homes
1. What do you get when you mash
up a refrigerator box, a trailer, a
sleeping bag and a thermos?

Changing Energy End Use Patterns
• Reduce space heating load
– Air tightness measures
– Insulation Measures
• Reduce water heating load
– Fixtures
– Drainwater Heat Recovery
• Meeting DWH load becomes
biggest challenge
– Mechanicals designed
around low temp hot
water delivery
– Minimal electrical loads @
fans/pumps
– Small loads, can sacrifice
efficiency @ blower
• Electrical base loads
– Primarily occupant driven
– Builder has minimal impact

8. House as a System
Many components determine energy
use, occupant health, and comfort:
Heat Flow
Moisture Flow
Air Flow
Thermal Boundaries
Pressure Boundaries
House Shape and Size
10. Keep the
heat in
Building Envelope
Most optimal surface to volume ratio
Highest levels of insulation
Lowest air leakage possible
Tiny Houses
Weight penalty for trailer
Stability in light frame
Cost/budget allocation
