Seal Fireplace Dampers with sealing profiles to save energy
Introduction
If fireplaces are not used, should with piping it into the air seal the damper and prevent wasted energy can be sealed. The common perception should be that just like doors and windows, fireplaces, energy loss require weatherstripping to prevent.
Leaking Fireplace Dampers wasting energy
Fireplaces are the largest intentional opening in the home, costs about U.S. $ 6100000000 families (Based on figures from March 2005) each year in wasted energy costs.
Like a door or window, fireplaces are openings to the outside and should weatherstripped to prevent the loss of heating and / or cooled air. By weatherstripping the fireplace, several benefits, including improved comfort, energy conservation, reducing energy costs reduced, achieved noise, and improved indoor air quality.
Fireplace dampers are not effective in sealing the fireplace. When dampers are closed, they do not have an air tight seal and are quite ineffective in controlling unwanted air leakage. Most fireplace dampers are left open. A study showed that 80% of the fireplace damper accidentally left one in the open Position. Many fireplaces have broken or missing valves.
developed in a study from 1990 to the leakage area of fireplace with moderation and without flap, Energy Options North West had this impressive finding, the effective leakage area (ELA) of the fireplace damper on average about 30 cm square with the roof closed. As a frame of reference the total ELA of typical houses built to moderately tight standards is 70-120 square inch. These results show that by sealing the fireplace, the total effective Leakage area (ELA) of the house can be reduced 25-43%.
Another study conducted in Europe showed similar results. The study showed that an open door an unused fireplace in a well-insulated house can raise overall heating and cooling on the energy consumption by 30% 2
The majority of the energy loss in the home is due to air leakage. Air leakage, or infiltration, occurs when outside air enters a house uncontrollably through Cracks and openings. Properly air sealing can reduce such cracks and openings in your home much heating and cooling costs, improve building durability, and create A healthier indoor climate.
Building scientists and other experts agree that a significant amount of energy costs are wasted due to leakage Air. Warm air leaking into the house in summer and from the house during the winter waste a substantial amount of energy dollars. View the collection of web references at the end of this Contribution.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the typical U.S. family spends approximately $ 1,300 per year from home energy bills, of which 44% is for heating and cooling (as of March 2005). In fact, the average American household annual electricity bill to the expected 3 to about $ 2,000 2015.
Inadequately sealed fireplaces are noted as one of the worst air leakage sources in the home. According to the DOE 4, by sealing the fireplace, the typical U.S. home can reduce leakage by 14% or more.
According to 2004 U.S. Census Data 5, there are 76,217,000 family households in the U.S. By multiplying the number of family members of households by the typical savings possible by sealing the fireplace, the total annual savings in energy costs, which can be achieved by weatherstripping fireplaces is 6100000000 $. This incredible amount can be expected to increase annually to $ 2015 9400000000 be.
Of course not every house in the U.S. has a fireplace. But this only serves to have the energy to do cost burden for the real estate increase fireplaces.
According to estimates there are 33 million fireplaces in the U.S. by dividing the total annual savings in energy costs, by weatherstripping fireplaces be achieved by the number of homes with fireplaces, the average annual savings that can be achieved by weatherstripping the fireplace would be conservative about $ 200 – $ 300 per fireplace.
Not only heat losses occur – Consider air conditioning losses
Energy loss through fireplaces is not only heat loss. Fireplaces can also cost of wasted air conditioning.
Consider a typical house, which is provided with central air conditioning and a fireplace. Air leaks into and out of channels to all connections within a system (eg at plenums and behind registers) 6
Of course, this leakage means that the air will have to pay the residents have heated or cooled escapes from the heating or cooling system and not heat or cool the house. Air leaks in the heating or Cooling system increase the amount of outside air that must be heated or cooled. The outside air is usually cooler (for heating) or warmer and more humid (for cooling) than the air inside the house and the heating or cooling capacity of the system is then used to heat or cool this outside air instead of air in the house. These issues are well documented and well understood.
But these air leaks also force air through the fireplace. How? The pressure difference created by the channel leakage. Depending on where the channel is leaky, there may be a slight reduction or increase in the pressure inside the home. Because the fireplace is a wide open hole to the outside, is this result, air conditioning, either push air out of the fireplace, or even worse suck air in through the chimney to bring smells and toxins.
Other advantages of sealing the fireplace
By weatherstripping the fireplace, made several advantages, including improved comfort, energy conservation, Reduce energy costs, less noise, and improved indoor air quality.
Un-weatherstripped fireplaces can annoying and uncomfortable downwind. Back Drafting brings cold air in winter that must be heated, and warm air must be cooled in the summer, know that smoke particles and soot from a fireplace in the living room can To give a contribution to odors, poor indoor air quality, asthma and other problems undesirable.
If the fireplace is not weatherstripped, windows and doors can seem a cold breeze, which have by them. This is caused by a condition such as the chimney effect. Between the higher and lower pressure zones in the Home There is a neutral zone pressure. The neutral pressure zone tends to move in the direction of the largest air leak. The fireplace is neutral pressure zone is above the neutral pressure zone of the house. This creates a flow of air from the chimney, even if no fire is burning. As the large volume of air through the chimney, warm air drawn from other areas of your home goes up the chimney, too. This robs heat from the other rooms and pulls cold air into the apartment through cracks around windows and doors that are not completely sealed. Sealing the fireplace helps stop the "breeze" from your windows and doors.
Energy codes require all openings are closed
Energy codes in force in all of North America require that all openings caulked in the building envelope (doors, windows, roof access, etc), sealed are weatherstripped or otherwise sealed to limit air infiltration and exfiltration. This is because air leakage through cracks can result in higher energy consumption for heating and cooling than necessary.
The 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC ™) – is the latest version of the Model Energy Code. All 50 States (As well as our territories) have adopted an energy code either at or above the IECC Model Energy Code. The code requires that all penetrations in the building envelope between conditioned and unconditioned space that are the sources of leaks must be sealed with a durable sealing materials, closed with gasketing systems, gaskets or otherwise sealed to limit uncontrolled air movement.
After the "Plan Check & Field Inspection Guide for 1992 MEC, 1993 MEC, and MEC 1995 "and the" Plan Check & Field Inspection Guide for 1998 IECC and 2000 IECC ", inspectors are instructed to verify that all doors between conditioned and unconditioned spaces door boots and weatherstripping.
When inspection for the residential provisions of the IECC / MEC, Building inspectors learn that there is proper air not only reduces the energy consumption of the building sealing, but it also increases the comfort of the homeowner and the Durability of the home.
Building inspectors are also taught that all penetrations in the building envelope between conditioned and unconditioned space must be sustained with a Sealing materials are sealed or closed with gasketing materials.
Like a door or window, fireplaces are openings to the outside and should weatherstripped To avoid the loss of heated and / or cooled air. be achieved by weatherstripping the fireplace several benefits, including comfort, energy savings, reduced Energy costs, less noise, and improved indoor air quality.
Mechanical codes require damper be permanently blocked open with gas log sets
In an apparent violation of the Model Energy Code is a requirement currently exists in the 2003 International Residential Code (IRC) that the fireplace damper must be permanently blocked if an open vented gas log set. This is to prevent the leakage sufficiently of combustion products into the room where the fireplace is used, and to prevent the accumulation of gas should the pilot flame be inadvertently deleted.
The unintentional Consequence of blocking the damper is open, of course, significant energy loss when the fireplace is not in use. This requirement is not in accordance with the Model Energy Codes that all openings sealed to and sealed, will require weatherstripped, or otherwise sealed to limit air infiltration and exfiltration.
An alternative would be to simply instruct the homeowner to the fold when using the fireplace. Instead of the IRC requirement that energy loss, a reasonable solution promotes a CO detector would need to get the occupants of a build-up of combustion products shall, in the room when the fireplace is used when the damper closed accidentally. At least one state (Massachusetts) requires CO detectors in homes currently seven, provided with.
The Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) requires that all gas logs be equipped with safety pilot control. The safety pilot maintains a pilot light and prevents gas flow to the main burner if the pilot is lit.
Solutions exist today fireplaces sealing strip
There are several devices available that are used today, have no seal around the fireplace. For example, top mounted chimney dampers. These are relatively expensive and have a poor return on investment (ROI). In addition, they do not seal the chimney at the bottom of the shock, leaving the chimney with all the smells, toxins and pollutants exposed at home. In addition, they do not respond, the waste of energy needed to condition the chimney space.
There are glass doors is often assumed that a solution for sealing leaking dampers. That is not true, as no air seal the fireplace opening doors. They have decorative benefits, however.
There other products from the hardware store, etc., temporarily seal off the flue and stop air from escaping through the chimney. One type of weatherstripping product is an inflatable plug that you insert into the fireplace below the damper. This Type of weatherstripping is made of heavy plastic with an attached tube for inflating the device. The tube hangs down into the chimney in order to remind you, that the stopper is there. It can be removed to use the fireplace, and reinstalled again. These devices have a very high return on investment (ROI), and can be used for to pay in a mid-winter heating bill.
Conclusions
There are 33 million fireplaces in the U.S. in March 2005 the total energy cost savings can be achieved through the weatherstripping fireplaces in the U.S. $ or conservative about $ 200 – $ 300 per fireplace, annually 6,100,000,000th This incredible amount can be increased each year to year, expected to 9400000000 $ per year by 2015 or more than $ 300 per fireplace.
There are devices available today can offer to the fireplace, that a very high return on investment piping (ROI), and can pay for itself in as little as one in the middle in winter heating costs.
Public awareness through education, training and other methods are required to inform consumers about the amount of waste of energy from fireplaces, vigilant, and to offer solutions.
The following measures are urgently requested items:
- Educate the general Public about the enormous cost of energy losses due to fires and the different ways to seal these openings between uses of the fireplace.
- Add the requirement, fireplace dampers for the Model Energy Code piping.
- Let an alternative to the energy-wasteful requirement in the codes the fireplace damper to be blocked to require open when vented gas logs installed. As an alternative, the code should enable the option to block not the fireplace damper in the open position when budgets are controlled with CO detectors and a safety pilot.
- Conduct further study of energy loss by the Fireplace in the heating and cooling climates.
