Page Conserving Energy R2000 Homes set a new standard The home of the future is springing up today all across Canada looks cry much like any other conventional home but it designed and built to cut heating by as much as per cent Called the R Home it is gradually changing the of our building In 1980 ihc Govern mem of Saskatchewan the National Council and Energy Mines and Resources Canada collaborated on construction of Usurer energyefficient homes They featured thicker walls and ceil to hold more than mice the usual amount or insulation vapour barrier to ensure air tightness less heat loss and reduced drafts controlled en illation moving stale air out and fresh air double or triple glazed windows a mini mum of 12 mm be the panes Mosi window were placed to the sun in winter The new houses were met with great enthusiasm and the federal govern mem announced its inten lion to encourage con ruction of more super energyefficient homes A year and a half of planning and study be ween Energy Mines and Resources and dian Home Builders Association produced the R Home Program carefully tailored to the needs of homebuycrs and the industry It was clear the builders needed in form a lion and training With Values Home insulation is sold by its thermal reals value a precise measure of its resistance to heat flow This measure Is represented by an RSI or value RSI it metric R Is the imperial measure Often insulation is marked with both so be careful not to confuse the two The higher the RSI or R value the belter the material insulate So even though one brand thicker than another both have the same RSI or value they perform equally well divide the Rvalue by To convert RSI urn ply multiply the RSI value by57 a basic understanding of the principles of to keep the heat in and lam with some building techniques builders can modify design derails of any home to meet the Home Standard of energy efficiency The R Home Program does not on specific building lech but the homes must
