R-2000 Housing: A Breath of Fresh Air

Why is Air Quality so Important? The air quality can be linked to  Your health  Mould and mildew growth Causes for poor air quality can include  Poor ventilation / circulation  Chemicals released by building materials  Cigarettes and other air pollutants

The R-2000 Solution : Ventilation In the Average house:  Ventilation is mostly accidental In an R-2000 home:  Ventilation is strictly controlled  The walls are completely sealed (no drafts)  Air heat is conserved with an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator)

Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) Carries in fresh filtered air to every room of the house Circulates the air of the house Captures the heat of outgoing air and uses it to reheat the house

The R-2000 Solution : Materials The Average house:  Is built with harmful chemicals  Can have improper combustion ventilation The R-2000 home:  Uses little or no chemicals in the build process  Doesn’t use rugs  Meets strict combustion venting standards

Advantages / Disadvantages Pros:  Superior air quality  Few if any chemicals used in construction  Added property value Cons:  High costs  R-2000 contractors are hard to find
