Presentation transcript:

R2000 Housing Homes that follow this criteria when built Energy efficiency Environmentally friendly Air Ventilation Aspects improved upon though building and design Only licensed contractors can build them

Energy Efficiency Homes try to minimize the amount of heat lost Standards are set for all homes Techniques to minimize heat loss: Insulation Proper sealing Passive solar energy Special Windows

Techniques Insulation: Proper sealing Passive solar energy Special insulation materials used Proper sealing No gaps in the wall joints and window seems Passive solar energy Windows placed strategically for max sunlight Special heat absorbing materials used Special Windows Certain energy ratings for least heat loss

So is it worth it? Advantages Decreases cost of gas heating by 30% More windows make for a “happy” atmosphere Quality Disadvantages Cost Time (Years) Cost ($) Gas without R2000 Gas with R2000
