to high
 Installing sono tubes and pouring concrete as
suggested by contractor

adding support

Insulating the cavity and refinishing with ¾ plywood.
Saving on energy
 Air tight to reduce drafts and increase performance of
the building
 Insulate floors, walls, & ceilings (spray foam)
 Bring the level of insulation up to code R24
 Blow-in cellulose in attic
 Increase the level of insulation to minimum R40 and
ventilate
 Window replacement
 All windows to be upgraded to a minimum double pane
low e, argon.
Heating System
 Once 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
opportunities

 Reduces draft from chimney and lost energy
 Tankless hot water heater
 Reduces losses and gives hot water on demand
 Drain water heat recovery
 Powerpipe regains heat from the waste water
