PARADE OF HOMES HALTON HILLS AREA By MACK PARLIAMENT Director of Publications CaoadiauReal Estate Association While winter grabs us In its fury In the most unex pected ways and at the most unexpected times it brings home forcibly to us one of the ways in which Canada is truly distinctive climatically Canadians live in a circumpolar country with oceans on three sides and as such we have important geographic differences and extremes in climate Yet in some ways rather than exploit our in dividuality we are inclined to be copycats of sorts and build houses more suitable to other climates Steps are only now being taken to force builders of new homes to recognize the fact that the Canadian climate is severe and that one way to lower home operating costs is to have houses adequately insulated at the time of erection But this may never have occurred if the price of oil and heating energy generally had not escalated to its present levels Canadians were content to waste energy with reckless abandon until high costs were ushered in by the OPEC cartel earlier this decade Even now it has been established that Canadians consume more energy per person than any other country For a while the at fluence of Canadians til permit them to afford it but eventually those living in under insulated homes will have to take corrective action and do other things to reduce consumption of rapidly dwindling energy resources The seriousness of the situation is demonstrated by the fact that housing accounts for the expenditure of per cent of the worlds energy consumption and part of this is due to waste If there is to be adequate supplies of fuel for generations following this one is time for all society to become the conserver society not just those who cannot afford to waste high cost energy There are perhaps too many examples of Canadians housing following patterns established elsewhere which do not conserve energy and where were not designed for Canadian climatic conditions For example the carport appendage to a house may protect a cars paint from the hot summer sun but it does a little to protect it from the winter winds and below zero temperatures This often results in cars which won start while those which do require a longer warm up period which wastes fuel Carports may be great in California but they can be grim in Canada Introducing more than 20 years ago was the so called core floor home Basically the onestorey house was built on a concrete slab with open cores it which acted as warm a plus for playing children and the structure offered a low profile to cold winds But the house never enjoyed any lasting popularity Home owners wanted to be higher up in the world and were prepared to burn more fuel to get off the ground But a trend already established commercially in Montreal Toronto and other cities as underground shopping malls and offices could conceivably be the forerunner of underground housing and industries At the very least there would be energy savings For in Toronto for instance the earths temperature 20 feet metres below the surface is about the same as the average annual above ground temperature It has been estimated that energy savings at this level could be as high as 75 per cent compared to above ground costs This has been ably demonstrated in Kansas City Kansas in both heating and cooling savings at the Inland Storage Distribution Centre in caverns under the city left from limestone mining Manufacturers of boats optical instruments and office equipment occupy more than million square feet square metres below the city Compared with conventional above ground facilities Inlands refrigeration costs are a month underground compared to the they would be above ground In Sacramento Calif an innovatively designed square foot 22018 square metre office building will use both the benefits of being partially subterranean and harnessing solar energy for heating and air con The portion of the 7 million structure is so well Insulated by the earth that tern will remain comfortable for up to eight hours after heating or air conditioning have been shut off Overall gain of the underground design is a reduction of more than half in energy requirements compared with a reduction of more than half in energy requirements compared with a similar sized building above ground An added bonus is an open parklike area at grade level The possibilities for underground living have not been overlooked by imaginative individuals In Plain view Texas for instance Bill Hamman his wife and five children share a concrete shell more than feet metres underground Trie four bedroom three bathroom home even boasts an underground patio Above ground is a twocar garage storage room another and a courtyard of cedar juniper roses and other Energy bills for others in the area are often a month with the extremes of heat and cold but the Hammans manage nicely on less than They not only beat the heat and cold but noise and pollution too The only dirt they get is what they bring themselves Although there is a woodburning fireplace in the dwelling the Hammans have never had a chance to use it as temperatures range from to 25C without In Illinois Gary Davis who owns UBahn Earth Homes Inc practises what he preaches and lives in an energy saving home of more than square feet square metres built mostly un While some people are complaining about the nigh cost of new homes Davis says a conventional home can be build as an underground structure for 000 Maintenance costs are lower because there is no siding to paint and no roof to replace Trie roof of Davis home is concrete and covered with two feet of soil and sod Light enters thhrough a large glass dome in the centre of the roof HOMES TOWN HOUSES CONSULT THOSE IN THE KNOW
