The health and environmental benefits of an R-2000 home R-2000 Homes The health and environmental benefits of an R-2000 home

What is an R-2000 home “R-2000 is made-in-Canada home building technology with a worldwide reputation for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.”(CHBA) R-2000 is an extremely energy efficient house R-2000 are standards that surpass usual building requirements http://r2000.chba.ca/

The R-2000 Mission “R-2000 is made-in-Canada home building technology with a worldwide reputation for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.”

Health benefits Good ventilation Prevention of problems Detection and elimination of dangerous fumes

Environmental Benefits Extremely energy efficient Proper orientation on the lot will take advantage of the sun’s natural heat Water efficient faucet, toilets and showerheads

Water based paints are used Water-conserving fixtures to reduce the amount of sewage for the city to filter Global impact
