The New Home Team at Lacey went on site for an exciting new learning opportunity!! 🏠🛠️ With the BC Energy Step Code program, some homes are now required to pass higher levels of energy efficiency. As a result, blower door tests are now conducted during construction, testing the air changes per hour & how airtight the home is!! 🏠🌬️ The benefit of doing blower door testing mid-construction is that air leakage is more easily found and rectified at this stage ❤️ #buildgreen #energyefficienthomes #homebuilder #homedesign #newbuild #construction #bcenergystepcode #blowerdoortest #blowerdoortesting
In a recent article on BBC Future, the potential of using sewage as a source of heat is explored. By harnessing the thermal energy contained in wastewater, this innovative approach not only offers a sustainable alternative to traditional heating methods but also helps reduce carbon emissions. Imagine a future where our homes are kept cozy and warm, all thanks to a resource that would otherwise go to waste. It's a win-win situation for both our wallets and the planet! However, these large wastewater-capturing projects cost municipalities tens of millions of dollars. Why Not capture that energy before it hits the sewage system? Alas, drain water heat recovery systems capture the heat from hot water as it goes down the drain at your home and harnesses this energy to preheat incoming cold water. This means that your water heater doesn't have to work as hard to heat up the water, saving you money on your energy bills. This exciting development showcases the power of thinking outside the box when it comes to tackling climate change and promoting sustainability. The possibilities are endless, and the impact could be game-changing. So, are you ready to embrace the cost-effective technology in your home? Stay tuned for more updates on this fascinating eco-friendly solution. #ThermoDrain #DWHR #drainwaterheatrecovery #waterheating #tanklesswaterheater #greenproduct #houserenovations #newhomebuild #newhomeconstruction #plumbing #energysavings #energyefficienthomes #waterheater #greenbuilding #newhomebuilder #plumber #greenbuild #buildbetter #sutainablebuilding #ecofriendlyhome #passivehousecanada #passivehome #LEED #netzero #netzerohome #NYStretch #BCenergystepcode #builtgreencanada #energystarcertified #hotwatersolutions

Multi-unit residential Buildings (MURBs) have been gaining popularity in recent years due to the rising cost of homes and new construction. With programs like @cmhc_schl MLI Select, it is actually more affordable to build above code than it is to build to code. MURBs are buildings that contain multiple residential units, such as apartment complexes or condominiums. They offer a more cost-effective housing solution compared to single-family homes, as the cost of land and construction can be spread out among multiple units. CMHC's MLI Select program allows developers to access financing for energy-efficient building upgrades and improvements. By building above code, developers can qualify for incentives and rebates that make it more affordable to incorporate energy-efficient features into their projects. In addition to cost savings, building above code also offers environmental benefits by reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This aligns with the growing trend towards sustainable and green building practices in the construction industry. Overall, the rise of MURBs and programs like CMHC's MLI Select are making it more attractive for developers to build above code and create more energy-efficient and affordable housing options for residents. It's a win-win situation for both developers and the environment. @chbanational #ThermoDrain #DWHR #drainwaterheatrecovery #waterheating #tanklesswaterheater #greenproduct #houserenovations #newhomebuild #newhomeconstruction #plumbing #energysavings #energyefficienthomes #waterheater #greenbuilding #newhomebuilder #plumber #greenbuild #buildbetter #sutainablebuilding #ecofriendlyhome #passivehousecanada #passivehome #LEED #netzero #netzerohome #NYStretch #BCenergystepcode #builtgreencanada #energystarcertified #CMHC

Why choose DWHR? Drain water heat recovery is chosen because it is an efficient and cost-effective way to save energy and reduce utility bills. By recovering heat from wastewater, it can preheat cold water before it enters the water heater, reducing the amount of energy needed to heat the water. This not only saves money but also reduces the environmental impact of energy consumption. Additionally, drain water heat recovery systems are relatively easy to install and require minimal maintenance, making them a practical choice for both residential and commercial applications. #ThermoDrain #DWHR #drainwaterheatrecovery #waterheating #tanklesswaterheater #greenproduct #houserenovations #newhomebuild #newhomeconstruction #plumbing #energysavings #energyefficienthomes #waterheater #greenbuilding #newhomebuilder #plumber #greenbuild #buildbetter #sutainablebuilding #ecofriendlyhome #passivehousecanada #passivehome #LEED #netzero #netzerohome #NYStretch #BCenergystepcode #builtgreencanada #energystarcertified #energyefficiency

Ever wonder how Drain water heat recovery works? Well here are a few of its features. Drain water heat recovery is a technology designed to capture and reuse the heat from hot water that is being drained from a building, typically after activities like showering or washing dishes. The basic principle behind DWHR is to transfer the thermal energy from the outgoing hot water to the incoming cold water, thereby preheating the cold water before it enters the water. By preheating the cold water supply, the water heater has to do less work to raise the temperature to the desired level. This results in energy savings and increased overall efficiency. Another fun fact about DWHR is that it is completely maintenance-free! If you are curious about installing a ThermoDrain in your home, feel free to give us a call or message us here. Our team would be happy to assist you. #ThermoDrain #DWHR #drainwaterheatrecovery #waterheating #tanklesswaterheater #greenproduct #houserenovations #newhomebuild #newhomeconstruction #plumbing #energysavings #energyefficienthomes #waterheater #greenbuilding #newhomebuilder #plumber #greenbuild #buildbetter #sutainablebuilding #ecofriendlyhome #passivehousecanada #passivehome #LEED #netzero #netzerohome #NYStretch #BCenergystepcode #builtgreencanada #energystarcertified #Funfact

Revolutionizing Duplex Unit Efficiency! 💨 Starting at an avg. of 8ACH, we achieved an incredible 80-85% reduction in air leakage in this duplex. Upon closer inspection, we identified substantial air leakage within the floor cavity, particularly concentrated above the garage. AeroBarrier took the guesswork out of it, and within a few hours, we got our builder to Step 3 compliance. With Aerobarrier's precision, we surpassed efficiency standards. This is where science meets life, providing energy savings and healthier indoor living. Ready to elevate your project's performance? Join us on this journey. 🏡🌬️💡 CALL US TODAY!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Make a conscious effort to reduce your waste by buying products with minimal packaging, reusing items whenever possible, and recycling materials like paper, cardboard, glass, and plastic. By following the three Rs, you can help minimize your environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. Remember, small actions can have a big impact when it comes to protecting the environment. Drain water heat recovery is a great way to reduce energy consumption and lower your utility bills, especially in the context of residential and commercial water heating systems. #ThermoDrain #DWHR #drainwaterheatrecovery #waterheating #tanklesswaterheater #greenproduct #houserenovations #newhomebuild #newhomeconstruction #plumbing #energysavings #energyefficienthomes #waterheater #greenbuilding #newhomebuilder #plumber #greenbuild #buildbetter #sutainablebuilding #ecofriendlyhome #passivehousecanada #passivehome #LEED #netzero #netzerohome #NYStretch #BCenergystepcode #builtgreencanada #energystarcertified #Tip
