DESCRIPTION The objective of the Pennsylvania Urban Housing ADAPTive TransFORMation Project is to provide a pattern book for the implementation of sustainable strategies in affordable housing. Utilizing a unique residential building typology, an implementation strategy for the enclosure, mechanical and site systems has been developed.

WHERE is the project located? The Edible

Envelope adaptive transformation is located throughout the neighborhood of Homewood in Pittsburgh,

Pennsylvania. The specific case-study typology is located at 7348 Monticello, at the intersection of Monticello and Collier.

WHY

this typology? 175 examples of this typology exist in the neighborhood which allows for the transformation to be implemented on the entire scale of the neighborhood. This typology has very few vacancies, giving us the chance to improve the lives of families that currently live in Homewood. There are also large clusters of this typology in one location or all along one street, which provides the advantage of perfoming these interventions on multiple houses at once to potentially maximize time management and lower construction costs. In many cases with houses of this typology, additions and alterations have already implemented. Residents that have previously initiated or witnessed the advantages of changes to their homes may be more open to additional changes that could increase their quality of living and decrease their monthly bills. The adaptive transformation benefits from an engaged user.

WHAT

is being proposed? The transformation proposes to make necessary retrofits to the house, which consist of adding insulation, collecting rainwater onsite, installing a geotherman heat pump, demolishing select interior walls, and ensuring stability and performance of exterior walls.

These retrofits are in addition to the Edible Envelope that will shade against natural elements sustainably, while providing space for vegetative growth through a refresgubg new aesthetic. A goal for each specific instance is to facilitate individuality in each home. On a larger scale, this project can hope to be a catalyst for the overall greening of Homewood, implement passive and sustainable strategies, while also beginning to strengthen the social network of the area. The transformation targets households with incomes at or below 40% ,60%, and 80% of the federal poverty level, in order to provide homes that are sustainable and healthy, as well as affordable.

HOW

will it be accomplished?

Edible Envelope addresses several issues within one transformative intervention; vertical planting allows for use of remaining lot space for recreation, urges people to be outdoors with eyes on the street, and sustainably shades the house from harsh summer sun and winter winds. The project uses digital fabrication in the production of a kit of parts in order to maximize ease for a customizable do-it-yourself method. Because of the necessity of the natural elements, such as sun and rain, the vegetative growth system is optimized for orientation of housing so each of the 175 typologies can utilize this system regardless of directionality.

METRICS FOR SUCCESS

The success of Edible Envelope has been projected based on evidence based-design as seen in the precedents of Molehill housing, and vegetation existing in Homewood currently. After construction, the success will be indicated through a decrease in heating bills due to increase insulation and geothermal heating, less use of fans to cool in the summer because of passive ventilation and shading, lower grocery bills if the user chooses to grow thier own produce, and decreased water bills from rainwater collection and usage. In addition to this day to day evidence, personalization of each individual home should foster a sense of responsibility for oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, leading them to take very good care of their property and increase its market value. Residents will also spend more time outside in their yards resulting a greater relationship with their neighborhoods and a stronger community.

Our site is located in the neighborhood of Homewood, within the East side of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The selected typology is charactized as a two-story house with a pitched roof and front porch. There are a total of 175 residences of this particular type within North Homewood allowing us to impact a significant percentage of residents in this community. Additionally, there are several locations where the typologies cluster among a street or block. This can be an added benefit to the proposed implementations.

Located among major intersections and roads are the mixed use zoning districts consisting of the Local Neighborhood Commercial Districts (LNC), Neighborhood Industrial (NDI), and Urban Industrial District (UI). The Neighborhood Industrial and Commercial Districts zones foster local business businesses establishments that create employment and shopping opportunities. Meanwhile, the Urban Industrial District houses larger manufacturing sites as to not greatly impact the residential or local businesses environments.

The majority of the zoning districts within the neighborhood are variances on residential housing units. They range from singleunit to multi-unit houses. A Multi-Unit Residence means the four or more dwelling units are contained within a single building in the zoning lot. Zoning districts are further characterized by their level of development. This identifies the housing density of the district that correlates to minimum lot size necessary for the district. Within North Homewood the housing density ranges from low to moderate.

In cases where shingles or faux brick panelling is used, both are peeling off the house due to weathering and material properties. Porch awnings are majority decrepid and either need to be replace or rethought. Where brick is used, mortar is often cracked and tends to respond to forces by beginning to warp in the facade.

The population decline in Homewood is typical with that of Pittsburgh as a whole. This is compared to a timeline of significant historical events, which shows an influx of people into Homewood after the construction of the Civic Arena in 1958. This housing intervention will ideally end the decline in Homewood and begin contributing to growth. It is important to look into the cost of permit fees and general utilities in relation to the Federal Poverty Level for household income. This indicates how efficient the house should be to keep operating costs affordable for low-income residents.

This catalogue shows the value of 7348 Monticello in relation to other instances of this typology on the same street and in comparison to houses elsewhere with the highest and lowest values. 7348 Monticello is fairly typical in terms of average land value, but the building is worth more than that of the average typology. In addition, this house has the highest number of rooms of any of the others, which indicates that there could be an opportunity to consolidate some of the spaces to allow for better ventilation and variation of spatial experiences. The index also shows that land value increases significantly when a building is constructed on a vacant piece of land. Overall value seems to depend on physical conditions and upkeep of the house, as well as the tax history of the owners. Homewood has a population of 60% renters. The proposed transformation will make more efficient housing more affordable and allow these renters to become owners. If a person buys a property and is hoping to keep it for an extended period of time, they are more likely to take the time to maintain the house, land, and street outside their property. These new responsible residents will help make Homewood a more pleasant place to live. Additionally, the majority of people who currently own their homes are ages 45 to 54 or 75 to 84. This adult population may have more time to upkeep their houses and perhaps add a garden to their property.

The most concerning liability in the summer for the climate of Pittsburgh, Pa is the sun, second is relative humidity. Wind in the summer serves as an asset of the climate due to its ability to passive cool. The winter liabilities are first the freezing temperatures and second, cold biting western winds. Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winter assets is the sun which, when used appropriately can passively heat.

The house is oriented along the north-south axis, so its south face is in the sun for the majority of the day. The back porch on this same side, however it is covered by deep shadows from 1 pm and onwards because of its deep awning. Removing this awning could make the space a more welcoming place to spend the afternoon hours.. The slight southwestern angle allows sunlight to spread along the eastern wall as well.

As can be seen from the discoloration of the walls, the existing gutter system is ineffective. The new gutters can be hooked up to a rainwater harvesting system, which will take advantage of Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rainy season to reduce water runoff and store for later use.

This wood framed addition is sheathed with brick paneling that is deteriorating. Fixing this issue could also allow for insulation to be inserted into the wall assembly.

This blank wall and small side lot could be a great place for small vertical garden or urban farming.

The existing porches are used frequently, but the awnings are in disrepair. Fixing this problem could increase social aspect of the porch. Also, there is an opportunity to make the porch a more engaging place at all times of the year.

The abundance of our typology in Homewood could potentially foster a sense of community between residents. Tight clustering is also ideal for shared geothermal heating systems. This would be more energy and cost efficient than individual pumps. EXISTING FIRST FLOOR PLAN

The house is made mostly of triple wythe brick walls, which does not include any insulation. Installing insulation will greatly increase the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance and lower heating costs.

The average household in Homewood is made up of two to three people, but this house has four bedrooms. In order to increase each personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom space, it would be possible to demolish some interior walls. Fewer walls would also open up more passages for ventilation in the hot summer months.

The house sits on the corner of Monticello Street and Collier Street which, according to this map, sits within the Nine Mile Run watershed. Drainage from the watershed effects all houses of the typology in a similar manner with relatively minimal impact; however, the house for proposed interventions sits on a street corner, harboring unique conditions. Its exposure allows for opportunities to address its relationship to the street as well as neighboring houses.

When addressing stormwater management, the house must acknowledge both its negative impact on surrounding lots as well as its beneficial impact on the proposed Edible Envelope. In order to take advantage of Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high precipitation levels, we propose to collect and store rainwater. This allows for a much greater degree of control for the user and would also allow for water to be used in keeping vegetation thriving when precipitation is low. Water that is not collected will be directed towards the lawn and grass on the site. To prevent water from running off onto neighboring lots, additional gutters direct water towards the front and back of the house.

Excavation for geothermal. Use vacant lot where appropriate and connect geothermal piping to heat pumps located in the basement of each building. If a vacant lot if not available, then bore holes for a vertical loop geothermal system and connect to two to three houses.

Remove back porch roof and brick paneling in the back extension of the house.

Excavate a 2 foot area around the house where the Edible Envelope will be located.

Install insulation and wood siding panels to the exterior of house.

The benefits of using geothermal ranges from helping the individual to reinforcing an overall awareness of energy uses to an entire community of people. Houses that share access to geothermal energy cut costs by sharing equipment, and from using a natural form of energy. Tapping into geothermal energy is costly, but when an entire community divides the cost, it becomes a group initiative as well as a money saving strategy. The first of the equipment needed on site is the geothermal drilling rig, which penetrates the earth 200- 300ft down. The drilling results in extreme quantities of soil being removed; secondary equipment, such as a dump truck and backhoe are needed for the movement of this excess soil. Depending on the level of implementation of the Edible Envelope (minimal maintenance, versus high maintenance), a portion of the soil can be used in the vegetative sacks. The remaining soil will need to be transported offsite.

GEOTHERMAL excavation There are five clusters of the same typology for potential locations of a communal geothermal heating source. Based on the lot dimensions, a vertical closed-loop sytem is the most appropriate option for the community. Several houses can tap into the loop system without having to excavate and install geothermal piping on each lot. In locations where vacant lots exist in between the typologies, a lot can be purchased by several home owners to minimize disturbance to their landscaping and backyards. Once installed the pipes would connect to a heat pump unit, located in the basement, which would distribute the warm (or cool) air throughout the house.

Although installing a ground source heat pump is an expensive upfront cost, it significantly decreases the cost of heating and cooling for the oppucants. Gas utility bills can be up to 1/4 the cost of a typical month payment. Typically, a geothermal heat pump system costs about $2,500 per ton of capacity. Our housing typology would require a three-ton unit costing roughly $7,500. The cost of drilling would amount to about $15,000 but would be divided amougst the homeowners tapping into the geothermal source. There are several programs that help subsidize the intial costs. The U.S. government offers a one time tax credit of up to 30% of the total investment costs for a ground loop geothermal system, with a maximum credit of $2,000 for a single residence. Furthermore, several entities offer low-interest loans for up to $15,000 to residents.

The infrastructure of the geothermal intervention reach 200-300 ft below ground pulling geothermal energy upwards and throughout the typologies. The excavation on 7348 Monticello requires the use of the drilling rig as well as the dump truck to transport soil around the site and offsite. There is an adjacent typology with which to share a borehole, meaning that the cost of the drilling can be split between two single family homes, as well as being assisted by funding.

Depending on what facade(s) is/are being utilized for the vertical garden structure, the foundation is to be poured along those facades, with at least a 36 inch gap between the house and the structure to allow for inhabitable space. Once the foundation is poured, the track system is put into place attatching to the reinforced aluminum bars that are inserted into the foundation 6’-0” on center. The initial connectors then slide onto the track system.

^ h rt o N Depending on the orientation and specific circumstances of existing conditions of the residence, the edible envelope would be placed on the wall that best suits the tenant.

Plant types are variable with respect to client’s wishes, due to maintainance levels and what vegetables or flowers are able to grow depending on the site conditions. For shaded yards, plants that don’t require a lot of sun to grow will work well. For clients that don’t have a lot of time to water and maintain plants in their vertical garden, ivy or other climbing plants and flowers can be grown. Fruit and vegetables that can be grown vertically are labeled from the ground up. Plants like squash or melons need ground support, whereas grapes will climb and hang from the structure. Furthermore, soil bags can be placed along the structure where best fit for plants growing requirements and where they are accessible to the user. The soil bags are easily hung and can be removed and rearranged easily when not overgrown with plant-life, or left hung during freeze thaw. ORIENTATION MODIFICATION: Alternate Site
