R-2000 Housing:A Breath of Fresh Air
Why is Air Quality so Important?
The air quality can be linked to Your health Mould and mildew growth
Causes for poor air quality can include Poor ventilation / circulation Chemicals released by building materials Cigarettes and other air pollutants
The R-2000 Solution : Ventilation
In the Average house: Ventilation is mostly accidental
In an R-2000 home: Ventilation is strictly controlled The walls are completely sealed (no drafts) Air heat is conserved with an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator)
Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)
Carries in fresh filtered air to every room of the house
Circulates the air of the house Captures the heat of outgoing air and uses it to
reheat the house
The R-2000 Solution : Materials
The Average house: Is built with harmful chemicals Can have improper combustion ventilation
The R-2000 home: Uses little or no chemicals in the build process Doesn’t use rugs Meets strict combustion venting standards
Advantages / Disadvantages
Pros: Superior air quality Few if any chemicals
used in construction Added property value
Cons: High costs R-2000 contractors are
hard to findhttp://www.r2000manitoba.com/faqs.shtml
