ENERGY EFFICIENT FEATURES FOR ENERGY SMART LIVING
• Clay brick is one of the original energy conservation tools. Due to its mass, it prevents temperature extremes on the outside of your home from affecting the temperature on the inside of your home. This process is called thermal lag, and it translates into greater year-round comfort and energy savings.
• Attic vents are a vital part of keeping fresh air circulating through this area. Proper attic ventilation extends the life of a roof and reduces problems because it minimizes the temperature differential between the attic and the air outside. Trapped heat and moisture can raise energy costs, cause ice dams, and damage the roof. Effective ventilation will remove moisture and heat from the attic creating a healthy home – both for the structure and the occupants.
• All exterior door frames and windows are installed with a vapour barrier and fully caulked to assist in the effectiveness of your home’s thermal envelope. Proper caulking and weather stripping alleviates drafts and helps your home feel warmer when it’s cold outside and helps keep your home cooler in the summer.
• Energy Star® rated low e/argon filled windows with warm edge spacers, where shown on the plan on the main and second floor. Energy efficient windows save money each and every month.
o Low e (which stands for “low emissivity”) glass is coated with a microscopic,
virtually invisible, metallic oxide layer that improves thermal performance. This
microscopically thin coating filters the sun’s energy in the summer and
reduces heat loss in the winter. Not only does it make your windows more
energy efficient, it also provides some protection from harmful UV rays that
can fade your flooring, furniture and window coverings.
o Argon gas is an odorless, colorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert gas, which is six
times denser than air. It is used to replace air between the glass panes to
reduce temperature transfer.
o A warm edge spacer system wraps around the perimeter of the glass to
improve thermal performance, reduce condensation, wintertime heat loss and
summertime solar heat gain.
• Energy saving metal clad insulated non-warp entryway door systems with white frames, (where applicable) with weather-stripping to ensure a tighter seal. These entry door systems also have a bottom expander with a vinyl sweep to keep that seal. An energy efficient door will greatly decrease drafts in your house, which will decrease your utility bills. Heat and air conditioning will stay in, therefore decreasing running time of your units.
• Energy Star® rated rear sliding patio doors (where shown on plan) with glass transoms with white frames, featuring low e/argon filled glass panels. They operate smoothly and reliably, help lower heating and cooling costs and make homes more comfortable and secure.
• Programmable Home Thermostat. Programmable thermostats automatically adjust your home’s temperature settings, allowing you to save energy while you’re away or sleeping. They are more convenient and accurate than manual thermostats and improve your home’s comfort, save energy and save money on utility bills when used properly. Programmable thermostats are better for the environment, since using less energy, helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy production.
• Energy-efficient water saver shower heads. These water saving, or low flow shower heads, significantly reduce the consumption of hot water within the home and result in lower utility bills and less wasted water.
• Stylish, low consumption, toilets that dramatically reduce water consumption while providing reliable performance and efficiency. Studies show the highest percentage of water used within the home, is attributed to wastewater from toilets. Studies also show using low consumption toilets can save an average of 57% of water consumption compared to older models.
• Forced air, minimum 94% high-efficiency gas fired furnace with electronic ignition. Ducting is also sized to accommodate future installation of a cooling system. Gas supply piping to be 1” and include three “T’s” for installation of future gas lines within the home.
• Rental (PV50) hot water heater with interior insulation wrap, electronic ignition, sealed combustion and power vented to push combustion gases to the exterior. Electronic ignitions start burners electrically, thereby eliminating a pilot light that constantly draws on a gas supply and wastes energy.
• Insulation: The insulation system in your home is designed to reduce the natural movement of heat from warmer to cooler areas. Properly installed, it protects your home as a thermal retarder that helps reduce costly energy bills during heating and cooling seasons.
o R31 Icynene® expandable spray foam insulation over garage ceilings and
exposed soffits with habitable space above for additional heating and cooling
control. Icynene® is an open cell, soft foam insulation that is sprayed into
cavities as a liquid and expands 100 times its volume to seal a cavity.
Icynene® effectively reduces air infiltration which can be the largest source of
heat and cooling loss in your home.
o R50 Blown Roof Insulation – to reduce heat transfer through your roof means
as much as 1/3 of your heating costs can escape through this area.
o R24 Fibreglass Insulation to 2” x 6” Exterior Walls. A home’s structural
integrity starts with its exterior walls and 2” x 6” wood stud exterior fabrication
sets the standard for high-quality construction. R24 batts, installed snugly
between the studs, provides for more effective heat retention.
o R20 Basement Wall Insulation to within 15” of the basement slab, keeps your
unfinished basement warmer, more comfortable and makes the floors above
warmer, in addition to keeping energy costs down.
• Self-sealing electrical boxes, molded from a high-strength resin, perform in a wide range of temperature conditions. These boxes are environmentally friendly and more energy efficient than typical metal boxes.
