Just listed $161,900 Check your homes energy efficiency With our harsh winters, thousands of Canadian homes lose a considerable amount of energy every year through poor "energy health." Just like the people who live in them, houses should have an annual physical checkup. You can do it yourself by answering the questions below. Windows Windows let in the sun's warming rays, but they can also account for 10 to 25 per cent of a house's total heat loss. Which of the following categories best describe your windows? (Don't forget to check your base- ment windows, too). Excellent -- 15 points All windows are double- glazed, with tightly fitted weatherstripping. There is virtually nn condensation between the panes, which would signal the presence of air leaks. Good -- 5 points Windows are double- glazed, with some weatherstripping. Conden- sation appears only on very cold winter days. Fair -- 2 points Although windows are double-glazed, - the weatherstripping around the frames is worn or miss- ing. There is some conden- sation between the panes for most of winter. Poor -- 0 points Windows have only a single pane of glass, and weatherstripping is well worn or non-existent. In winter you cannot see out- with this checklist side because the glass frosts up. Door Like windows, leaky doors also let cold air into your home. Heat can pass through the door material itself or through cracks in and around the door. Which energy-efficiency category matches your situation? Excellent -- 5 points All outside doors are made of insulated metal, or are solid wood with a storm door. They are also tightly weatherstripped and caulked. Good -- 2 points Although the doors are solid and all wooden doors have storm doors added, the weatherstripping is worn or ill-fitting. Poor -- 0 points Some doors are warped. There are no storm doors and weatherstripping is non-existent. The Basement -- Header Area The basement accounts for as much as 25 per cent of a home's heat loss, mak- ing it one of the most impor- tant areas to insulate and draft-proof. Begin your in- spection with the area around the headers (the beams into which the floor- joints fit) and the sill plates (the boards that rest on the foundation). Excellent -- 10 points All air-leakage points are caulked, and the header area is insulated with a vapor barrier on the warm side of the insulation. Turn to Page 7 wi ERR LOOKING FOR A HOME?
