High Performing Buildings - Spring 2009 - (Page 52) Roof to Basement RetRofit Air change (provision for dilution of interior air with outside air); and Pollutant removal at source (bath and kitchen exhaust fans). Window Replacement To increase comfort during the renovation, windows were replaced first. The interior sash stops and sashes were removed. The whole opening was wrapped with peel-and-stick membrane, leaving enough around the exterior to connect the new drainage plane. A new vinyl-clad wood-framed window was installed from the exterior into the pocket that was formed by wrapping the opening with membrane, so that no interior trim had to be changed. The sills were extended and exterior trim was wrapped back to the plane of the window. The exterior siding was butted to the trim. Insulation was installed around the window opening. The membrane pan flashing installed to receive the replacement windows was extended upwards and wrapped the entire opening. 52 HigH Performing Buildings spring 2009
