Did you know that water heating is often the top energy end use in smaller ADUs or homes with a higher occupant density?
What if every project we worked on committed to five things? "
This is the question I asked Katy while BARTing back from a meeting recently. The discussion that ensued was very nerdy and distracted us to the point where we ended on the wrong line. But this is what we decided on:
- 1. QII (Quality Insulation Installation)
- 2. Exterior insulation for metal framed buildings
- 3. No non-thermally broken metal windows… or frankly, no metal windows at all
- 4. Under slab and slab-edge insulation
- 5. Set an air tightness goal and follow-up with testing
Why these five? What about high efficiency boilers or low-VOC carpets? Check our next blogs for more information and a casual defence of this wish list.
