Real Estate Weekend Digest, Friday, August 3, 2007 7 Energy efficiency begins as you build your home Outside cold can easily travel through the typical wood-framed wall to create uncomfortable cold spots inside, called `thermal bridging'. To achieve maximum energy efficiency, there is technology to substantially reduce energy costs and consumption. As importantly, there are also advancements to achieve even temperatures by eliminating drafts, cold spots and dampness throughout your home. "The answer is in the attention-todetail as you build," says Todd Blyth at Nudura Corporation, a leading name in building systems. "Technology does exist to reduce the temperature exchanges that cause thermal bridging and this detail starts with concrete walls, not wood. For example, our Integrated Building Technology is a system that consists of ceiling and floor technology and builds walls with preassembled forms filled with steel-reinforced concrete. Research shows that if the building envelope of your home is constructed with this method, you'll get far more energy efficiency plus superior air filtration, and a home that is up to nine times stronger than those built with traditional building methods." Advanced wall construction of this kind says Blyth, can save up to 70% in energy consumption. Here are a few more Nudura (nudura.com) tips on building for energy efficiency: · Heat Transfer: Concrete walls transfer heat at a much slower rate allowing your home to use less energy when heat- Lynn & John Drewry *Salesperson **Broker 3 Great Properties NEW PRICE $679,900 AMAZING STEWART'S MILL RAVINE PROPERTY OVER 3000SF ­ 4 BDRMS, 4 BTHRMS, 3 CAR GARAGE · Amazing executive on lrg pool sized ravine lot · Sought after Grist Mill Dr Great Gulf with Views · 9' ceilings, walnut Hardwood, Mn Flr Den · 3 Car Garage (Tandem) + extra long driveway · 3 Full bathrooms up 2 with Ensuites · Huge gourmet Kitchen, Brkfst Bar, SS appliances NEW $699,900 PRIVATE 1.4 ACRE BALLINAFAD ESTATE 3,416 SF + FINISHED W/O BASEMENT · Largest, most private acreage in popular estates · Hidden down a long driveway with 3-car Garage · 5 mins from Georgetown, 15 mins to 401/403/407 · Surrounded by designated Conservation lands · Spacious oak Kitchen, Pantry & lrg breakfast area · W/o Bsmnt, 5th Bdrm, 3pc & huge Rec/Games rm ing and cooling. Having an integrated floor and ceiling technology combined with an air filtration system is also a big advantage. · Control Moisture: Moisture created in a traditional stick frame home can be detrimental. Traditional wall structures trap moisture propagating mould growth. Building a concrete home alleviates moisture being trapped in the walls at the construction phase. Make sure the structure provides for efficient air filtration but prevents air leakage. · Construction Quality: By building an energy efficient home or building with the proper sized heating and cooling system, the money you save on operation costs will more than pay for any other upgrades you decide to put into your structure. --News Canada NEW $529,900 ONE OF MOST POPULAR OPEN CONCEPT MODELS 3,180SF ­ 4+1 BDRMS, 5 BTHRMS, FIN BASEMENT · $30,000 spent on mature professional landscaping · Huge Kitchen, Island, Pantry w/o to 2 lvl covered Deck · Large open concept Family room with 2-sided fireplace · 4 + 1 bedrooms, 2 masters with Ensuites & w/i Closets · Totally fin basement, 5th Bedrm, 3pc bathrm & Rec rm Inc., Brokerage Direct Office www.lynnandjohn.ca E-mail: lynn@lynnandjohn.ca (905) 873-0440 1(800) 263-3434 FLYER DISTRIBUTION Did you know . . . ?
