Remodeling an Older Home and Being Energy Efficient
Now is a great time to remodel! Contractors are eager to have work and are willing to give some very good
deals on construction costs. It’s possible to do a complete remodel and not only get the space you need but
also make your home much more energy efficient.
Way Ahead of the Curve
The picture to the right shows a 1,500 sq ft two-story
addition to an existing 1960’s era, 800 sq ft singlestory home. The addition features R-60 roof and floor
insulation and R-30 wall insulation. The addition is
solar oriented with large glazing areas. The original
home was insulated with R-38 roof insulation and R-19
floor insulation. No new insulation was added to the
walls of the existing home. The home also features
eco-smart building materials, high efficiency heating
and cooling, storm water management techniques,
construction waste management, drought tolerant
landscaping and environmentally responsible location
aspects.
“Passive Haus” Super Energy Efficiency
The latest energy conservation rating from Europe
today is the “Passive Haus” (House) Standard. It requires that the home achieve a maximum use of 10
kilowatt hours per square foot per annum. This
home’s energy usage is less than 67% of the Passive
Haus Standard. A tabulation of the actual energy usage and the usage-per-square-foot is noted to the
right.
LEED Rating
This home remodel and addition designed by Miles
Yanick & Company in the year 2000 and constructed
in 2001, was years before the LEED for homes criteria
was established and could not technically be certified
at that time. Today it would qualify as “Platinum”
rated, which is the highest rating achievable.
