Lifebreath controlair 1512/16/2023 ![]() A Drain Water Heat Recovery System (DWHR) can recover up to 80% of the lost heat from a home's warm drain water. Employing polyurethane foam, acoustical sealant and high performance adhesive tape and accurately applying them ensures minimal air leakage in this home while saving on heating and cooling expenses.Īpproximately one third of home heating costs originate from heating water and 90% of that energy goes down the drain. With more than a hundred ways for air to leak out of a home, correct application of the appropriate products at each stage of building is critical to achieving the high levels of air tightness under the ENERGY STAR program. With the rate of heat loss substantially slowed, heating bills are reduced. The ENERGY STAR standard ensures more insulation in the attic than is required under the Ontario Building Code. Using the proper insulation saves on heating costs and while increasing overall home comfort. Spraying in polyurethane foam provides a greater volume of insulation than other methods while reaching and sealing all the nooks and crannies. ![]() Heat loss through garage ceilings make many homes less comfortable in cold weather. Produced from recycled plastics and vegetable-based oils, the new under slab insulation products represent new environmental choices. Under slab insulation on the basement level improves home comfort and can reduce heating costs by up to 20%. Using the dual flush system has been proven to save over 25% of water consumption. The dual controls on these toilets allow owners to regulate the amount of water in each flush - more for solid waste and less for liquid. Owners can save up to 10% on annual home heating and air conditioning expenses by setting their home's temperature to match their own schedule and comfort with the benefit of an ENERGY STAR rated programmable thermostat. This superior performance protects furnishings and art from sun damage while minimizing condensation and delivering a higher level of comfort throughout the home. These windows are constructed of dual layers of advanced Low-E squared glazing filled with Argon gas that perform 6 - 10% more effectively than the best ENERGY STAR rated windows. Owners can also add an alarm signaling the approach of peak loads and a device that counts greenhouse gas emissions to further support their desire to reduce resource consumption. Listed here are the green features can find in a Barbini project:Ī state-of-the-art energy monitoring system lets owners know their daily consumption of electricity and can help them to reduce costs by up to 20% through effective energy management. Barbini incorporates many high-end systems that collectively result in projects being rated well above the current Building Code. ![]() To us, building a home or work on a substantial renovation project without considering the actual interior and exterior environment seemed to fall short of the ultimate goal of client satisfaction. Having already mastered architectural and design excellence in our homes, we became motivated to bring the same high standard to interior air quality and the environmental footprint of our product.
