The potential for damage to the neighbours dwelling is to high

Installing sono tubes and pouring concrete as suggested by contractorMost cost effective solution for levelling

structure and adding supportRemoving existing floor, replacing damaged

Saving on energyAir tight to reduce drafts and increase

performance of the buildingInsulate floors, walls, & ceilings (spray foam)

Bring the level of insulation up to code R24Blow-in cellulose in attic

Increase the level of insulation to minimum R40 and ventilate

Window replacementAll windows to be upgraded to a minimum

double pane low e, argon.

Heating SystemOnce the building is made tight and insulated

the heat load is considerably reduced.

New heating system then designed to fit

Mini split heat pump

Yearly cost of heating $300

Additional energy saving opportunitiesFireplace –install electric insert

Reduces draft from chimney and lost energyTankless hot water heater

Reduces losses and gives hot water on demandDrain water heat recovery

Powerpipe regains heat from the waste waterAll lights to be high efficiency LED
