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 sometimes 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 on account of it minimizing 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 doorframes 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.
- Sectional Roll Up Doors. These sectional roll-up doors feature smooth vinyl backers, heavy-duty springs and long life rust resistant door hardware. Elevations D and E, where applicable, will feature aluminum garage doors with white tempered glass panels.
- Energy Star® rated low e/Argon filled windows and transoms with warm edge spacers, where shown on plans. Energy efficient windows save money each and every month.
- 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 protection from harmful UV rays that can fade your flooring, furniture and window coverings.
- 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.
- 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, (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 in turn decrease your utilities. Heat and air conditioning will stay in, therefore decreasing running time of your units.
- Energy Star® rated rear garden doors featuring low e/Argon filled glass.
- 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 saving showerheads. 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.
- Low consumption, 4.8L 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 waste water from toilets.
- Gas supply piping to be 1” and include three “T’s” for installation of future gas lines within the home.
- Rental (75 gallon) 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.
- Forced air, 94 percent high efficiency gas fired furnace with electronic ignition and sealed two-pipe combustion unit. These units use 100% outdoor air for combustion to reduce internal heat load and drafts, as well as the potential for corrosion caused by contaminated indoor combustion air. The two-pipe system also prevents contaminants from entering indoor living spaces. Ducting is also sized to accommodate future installation of a cooling system.
- 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.
- R31 expandable spray foam insulation over garage ceilings and exposed soffits with habitable space above for additional heating and cooling control. This insulation is an open cell, soft foam application that is sprayed into cavities as a liquid and expands 100 times its volume to seal a cavity. It effectively reduces air infiltration which can be the largest source of heat and cooling loss in your home.
- 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.
- R24 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. R5 rigid foam insulation boards in combination with R19 batts, installed snugly between the studs, provides for more effective heat retention.
- R20 Basement Wall Insulation keeps your unfinished basement warmer, more comfortable and makes the floors above warmer, in addition to keeping energy costs down.
- Self-sealing plastic 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.
