Energy Reduction
In setting the energy target, three factors are considered:
–Local climate. –Locally available energy sources. –Size of the home.
We Consider This Via:
•Computer modeling. •By using advanced computer software in the design of every R-2000 home, the high performance demanded by the R-2000 Standard is assured.
•System design.• With an R-2000 home, energy efficiency is designed in, not added on.

Specifications:
• State of the Art Ventilation
• R-2000 homes avoid ventilation problems by combining tight, well-insulated, leak-free construction with an energy-efficient mechanical heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system
• R-2000 Windows
• Windows are selected to meet the specific climate conditions that prevail at the house site – the colder the area, the more robust the window system
• High Efficiency Heating Systems • Heat Pump Systems
• High-Efficiency Gas Furnaces
• Integrated Gas Heating Systems
• Demand Water Heaters
• Radiant In-Floor Hydronic Heating
