5 A highly efficient Enclosure is Key Maximize Solar Gain Minimum Insulation Values Walls R-65 Roof R-90 Slab R-60 No Thermal Bridging! 0.6 ACH_50 or better The Building is always the sum of ALL it s parts

6 Air tightness is the cheapest and easiest measure to conserve energy, and to ensure the longevity of the core structure 0.6 ACH_50 Minimize penetrations Pre-test and Re-test

7 0.6 ACH_50 made simple: 1. Design for a continuous air barrier 2. Design fool proof air seal for windows and doors 3. Minimize any penetrations 4. Pre-test, Re-test
